I am sure this is the biggest reason. Nothing to talk about more access to education, birth control, ...

I am a firm believer Brazilian start ups should focus internally, but be able to be scalable abroad. By being tied to the US market I think we fail to reach the potential our country has.

Instead of simply copying US businesses Brazilians should innovate in markets that make sense for Brazil. Focus on local customers in services that can be expanded worldwide.

To me, simply trying to tie with U.S. businesses will cause Brazil to never develop a strong startup ecosystem as it is seem in countries like India and China.

Excuse me if I sound a bit like what Munroe says is the 'revenge of the nerds', but to me a nerd is someone who has very specific interests. Interests which most of the time, alienate most people, since they are specific. You identify yourself not because you own a tech device, but because you are very interested in a topic. I see nerds as producers and not consumers.

Nerds are people who write fanfic,or make drawings of Game of Thrones. Not someone who simply watches a TV show.

Metal Gear?

I think that is some value in doing that, for learning. But as a professional, with deadlines and money involved. Wouldn't google be best?

While I would enjoy living in such a world. Changes like this often take a very long time.

Have you used a self checkout machine lately?

If this comes to be remotely true, it would only drive the salaries for web developers even lower.

Can anyone give me some explication of where this situation is coming from?

If the bread is good Its enough to be disruptive. The quality of bread in the US is very poor (if you have had the opportunity to eat at a local bakery in pretty much anywhere else in the world you know what I am talking about).

As a brazilian I get the opposite effect. I get constantly surprise about how much americans take for granted.

How many second languages can you have?

'horse laughing' is an hilarious concept. I had noticed this in the international students at my university, how the japanese would always cover their mouths. Curious habit.
