hackerpolicy··on Western fast food companies are aggressively expanding in Brazil
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.

hackerpolicy··on Candy Japan crosses $10K MRR
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.

hackerpolicy··on How to handle big repositories with Git
Would Android's `repo` be a good solution to this?

Waze but for supermarket prices.

hackerpolicy··on A 75-Year Harvard Study Finds What It Takes To Live A Happy Life
What can the child do once he starts to ask himself what the hell is wrong with him, and little by little, starts to associate some wrongs with his childhood? Is it possible to revert bad parenting?
hackerpolicy··on The C++ Programming Language (4th Edition)
Is his C+11 FAQ enough if I've read the third edition?
hackerpolicy··on Unix tricks
If you work with something like this

  /this/is/some/very/nested/directory/
and you need to move to almost the same structure

  /this/be/some/very/nested/directory/
then you might benefit from

  function bcd {
    cd ${PWD/$1/$2}
  }

Is there any research on the bitcoin generation algorithm?
hackerpolicy··on Ask HN: If you had 5 years of uninterrupted time, what would you build and why?
An interesting response, perhaps you're being downvoted for an English mistake?
hackerpolicy··on Is speed reading really possible?
This is called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_serial_visual_presentatio...). After a few hours (or minutes) you start to identify the drawbacks presented in the wiki.

hackerpolicy··on A better Android emulator
I'm assuming 'this' is any emulated device and not specifically Manymo (which I haven't tried -- I keep getting the "Fail Droid"). But there are plenty: you can't test bluetooth, get network state, check battery status, and other things.

But emulators are ok to test your layouts, even though the latest ADT plugin makes it much simpler with layout previews.

You'll only have trouble with unbillable hours if you, well, bill by the hour.
hackerpolicy··on Start Hacking With Java 8
Which will be fine once Android starts supporting Java 7.
hackerpolicy··on The End of Indie Game Development on Android
I've always wondered, what would happen to Google's 30% cut if they implemented promo codes, and I used it to send a few copies of my paid app?

Does anyone know a similar app for Android landing pages?
hackerpolicy··on Design Tip: Never Use Black
Upvoting so it can still look #000.
hackerpolicy··on Managing Email Realistically
I can see the system working the author, but not for everyone. Actually, the "Reply within 24h" for clients is terrible advice, in my experience: if you take long enough to reply, they will call you, and this call might last forever. It takes only a few seconds (with GMail/GApps shortcuts) to reply "Ok, investigating the issue."

I read somewhere that you should delete e-mail from people that are e-mailing you for the first time and/or you feel it's not going anywhere. If they really want to contact you/need your help, they will send a second e-mail. And that e-mail is worth a reply.

Just browsed some of the comics, and between Gladwell's popularity and smbc's, I take the former.
