Not to mention we brazilians have been bombarded with fast-food joints in the past few years. My little hometown with no more than 90k habitants got its first Subway. And last year the first Taco Bell in the country came to São Paulo. This is the only one I would miss actually, as I've had enough from the traditional fast-food places.


Maybe having one's future life at stake plays a role in one's effectiveness in practicing?


No more $5 dollar books by registering as a 'print-book owner'?


Gone.


Hi Bemmu, congratulations.

Do you have any costumers in Brazil? What are the delivery times? Do they report anything relating to this, and import duties? I'm almost subscribing.


Yes, there are several Brazilian subscribers. Delivery is about 3 weeks after each shipment (which go out on 14th and 28th of each month).


Would Android's `repo` be a good solution to this?


Yes and No.

Repo was born to resolve this kind of problem, but it might not be a "good" one. We (git/gerrit team at Google) are working on bring cross-repository atomic submit and other stuff to git/gerrit and our goal is to replace repo with git submodule.

Here're a very brief slides[1] and notes[2] about this topic at this year's Gerrit User Summit.

That's very interesting, as someone who occasionally contributes to the odd Android fork. I kind of feel like repo is this weird semi-black box which does things I don't expect, like reverting my topic branches back to the remote branch but leaving the name in place (it does this if your topic branch does not have a remote tracking branch, and you run repo sync). I feel that at a minimum repo should play nice with standard git workflows. I should probably just read the repo source but I can't imagine why this behavior would be a good idea, and I'm usually left feeling like I would rather just use git directly than repo most of the time.


Got so tired of this that I have reactivated mine, but I don't use it except for these logins.


Waze but for supermarket prices.


I think Waze gets its data from other users, but in the uk we have https://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/ which will tell you the cheapest online grocery shopping company to go with for your selected 'trolly' (basket). (it compares tesco, sainsbury's, asda etc)


I would use this.


How would you keep track of the ideas that have been implemented/are being worked on? User-submitted?


I think it needs to be a mix of user submitted entries (company name which implemented the idea) and automated tracking there after.


Be glad this is not reddit.


I think too much, and do too little, and don't even own a cellphone.
