Still it's nice that Portuguese got the first one ;) Not to mention the moderation capabilities SO may up the level of things a bit... I'm in some brasilian Android, Ruby and Java lists/groups and it's just noise on my inboxes to me.. Too much of beginner level discussions / Googleable stuff(to me)

I think it will be a niche.

People forget that most people working in software are in corporate jobs(or `website jobs` e.g.: PHP+Jquery), and there lies most people that don't care that much about perfecting the skills etc, i.e.: People that take it as a job and not a craft(and I'm fine with this, honestly)

So this may capture lower grade q and a's but it doesn't matter.. for example, I do speak english and it's very probable that I won't use much pt.stackoverflow if at all, just like I didn't browse the countless brasilian PHP, Java, JQuery, RoR forums and `Something-BR` discussion lists and groups before, but the people in there may do

So in my opinion it's irrelevant what you say about English being such a must and that it won't be as high-quality, to the people that will use it, it will be useful

To be a 'development is my craft' kind in fact English is essential, but that's just a small slice of the pie, to SO, it's business, or am I wrong?

Besides that, I'm pretty sure when the free market sent down that 10 commandments thing it said not to go around using it's name in vain

That's what have been found, or what was let out, no? How much does the internal watchdog wants to keep this numbers reaaaally low.. is it really adversarial?

1 employee, 9 women, after 6 years... Not a pretty picture in my mind, honestly. They employ a looot of people, and they're growing more each day... no way that's all that happened imo..

I imagine what would happen if it was a private company employee snooping on women for 6 years...

+1 for no ~foreign people are dumb~ undertones I've seen in other posts. I'm brasilian and I'm sure my skills could punch the skills of some developers elsewhere in the face, even if I make less. If you don't respect people who you work with, what are you? That's why, also, I'm at my last remote job, after this one goes, I'm getting back to local and corporate stuff.. Current one is great, but I've had enough bad experiences

They're just passing the political bill for the USA to pay, of course it wasn't the reason for the deal, things aren't that simple. But politics is everywhere, the USA is always trying to get it's way, has used spying to cut deals, spies on everyone, etc... I'm all for all countries everywhere playing this card every time they can, why not?
