As an anecdote, to kick off discussion, I, as a native European Portuguese speaker, that was born in France (moved to Portugal when I was 4), can _barely_ pronounce them correctly.

Not all R's have the same roll of the tongue. They're usually in the middle of the word. Hate those R's.

Corvo is a small island in the Azores archipelago, which is home to less than 500 habitants.

Every time a police officer, joins the island, it usually has a bit of a tough time, as it tries to write fines and issue warnings to the small population. The small population, not only disregard its orders, but they actually shut them out.

Since there's very few establishments, the police officer, eventually, has to comply with the population.

To be honest, I don't know how much truth there is, in this story, but I don't find it hard to believe.

I assume your motivation is (alongside with a bunch of us), "bring people closer to space than ever before", but you have provided no evidence, that polluting low earth orbit with arguably redudant satellites is a good approach.

You seem to imply that it will lead in "revolution in prices". I too, commend SpaceX for the landing boosters, but for now it doesn't reduce the price nowhere near enough to let humanity approach the space age. Starlink comparatively, IMO does nothing.

Space tethers, anyone?

I kinda agree it looks like an ad for redis, since it doesn't even considers alternatives.

That just triggered an old memory from very early me playing around with clip-art and transitions on PowerPoint.

I can tell you though, that using the word "periferia" is actually common in some place (although a bit rare in most). It's mostly used as a synonym for 'around the borders'.

The example you've mentioned: "move the burgers to the periphery of the barbecue", actually seems perfectly fine. It seems a little bit over-detailed, I guess that a bit context-dependent but I wouldn't bat an eye to the equivalent of "move them to the periphery".

From what I recall 'periferia' is also commonly used in TV news.

The biggest public forums now-a-days are org-owned online platforms. Even if you have amazing content creators, you still have to find a way to co-exist with the platform, controlled by giants.

I too, see value a potentially transformative business model, but it still seems a hard place to start in until you've achieved a good enough network effect.

The map seed is not related to either.

That may also be true for some areas, but you can def. sign a contract for software development with just a generic business license.

I agree this whole thing paints a really ugly picture, but it seems to validate the original concerns?

I couldn't find anything regarding arresting and torturing foreign tourists.

1. What would be the point of a deepfake prohibition? The tech is here and it can be useful. Prohibition only leads to further issues legislating against actual bad actors.

2. People like images/videos, people mostly trust images/videos, but for that same reason they're commonly the best tools to deceive and deceit. Here's to hoping that deepfakes will increase their scrutiny and awareness.

What would be the proper way to enact constructive change on behaviors?
