That is exactly what they wanted. Similar practices are also common in Brazil, but here they usually go for heavy taxes for imported goods. If they make x% of the parts here, import the rest and put it together here the taxes are much lower.
MOST local shop owners will be screwed since we will have more holidays, thats less people on the streets having lunch, shopping... it was like that during the World Cup, the Olympics will be even worse since its concentrated in one city.
In about 3 months Rio had 25 000 cases of Zika virus. Thats 278 cases a day. 278 is 0.0017% of a population of 16 millions. Add 500k tourists and your chance of getting Zika is even lower... the chance of a international visitor getting Zika must be infinitesimal.
Zika is only a topic in Rio among people planning on having kids or pregnant woman, i don't see any other group of people taking any extra precautions because of Zika.
Temperatures are already going down, and although it will not go much lower during the winter it is enough to significantly lower the number of mosquitos. It has always been like this with dengue fever, big numbers during the summer, MUCH lower during winter, and since its the same mosquito it will also happen with Zika.
And in the case he is judging the drug dealers used ONLY Whatsapp? They didn't make a single phone call? He should block all mobile and fixed lines in the country... Oh, the phone company didn't save all their conversations? Guess what, neither did Whatsapp!
It is still much cleaner, the marine outfall takes the water miles into the ocean. Its been raining heavily this week and most beaches are safe: http://www.inea.rj.gov.br/cs/g...
Check the article yourself: Luiz Lima, a two-time Brazilian Olympic swim team member, trains off Copacabana daily with a club called the Gladiatores and says he feels perfectly safe. "The problem is the trash," he says, standing near the water's edge. "People in Brazil don't put trash in the trash."
Steven Munatones, longtime international open-water event organizer and founder of the World Open Water Swimming Association, has made several prior trips to Rio and says the water quality -- judged by taste, smell, visibility and his own lack of symptoms afterward -- is usually very good. Out of roughly 60 times he's swum at Copacabana, he can recall only one day when conditions were, as he says, "gross."
This gross days are usually the day after heavy rains, trash around the city ends up on the coast and depending on winds and currents end up on the beaches.
Yes, but Skype has a license for that from Anatel (FCC like government agency).
The problem is always when you do something for free when other have to pay. Taxi vs Uber: one pays for a license, the other don't. Skype vs Whatsapp Call: one pays for a license, the other don't. etc
Also in Brazil TV show called CQC did something similar, they went after people posting offensive comments on diverse topics. I think some apologized but it was a short run, they ended after a guy headbutted and punched the reporter on camera. http://ig-wp-colunistas.s3.ama...
And no industry will deliver a product 1000x times faster/better overnight, not as long a competitor can't do the same. They will sell you a thing 2 or 3 times faster every few years, maximizing profit.
Playboy in Brazil is mostly models, sub-celebrities and even tv stars to its pages, so at least it has that incentive to keep selling magazines. Sure there is tons of porn and nudes on the internet, but not from these women we fantasize.
The terms and conditions for brazilian users tell exactly this, more specific the section 5 that in english is 195 words long, but in portuguese is 764 words long. And thats not just because of the translation, this part goes into more details on what they do.
It says:
"In order to allow guests in our site to experience the kind of communication they expect as members, we may create profiles that may interact with them.
The purpose of us creating these profiles is to provide entertainment for our guests, to allow guests users to explore our services and to promote greater participation in our services. The messages sent are computer generated. The messages from the profiles we create try to simulate communications so you can also become a member, pushing you into participating in more conversations and to raise interaction between friends.
You acknowledge and agree that some profiles published in the site, with whom you may communicate as a guest, may be fictitious. The purpose of the creation of these profiles is to provide our invited users with entertainment."
So, at least to non paying users its clear that a lot of the females users and their messages are computer generated.
No! This was explained over and over again, if you upgrade in the first year your Windows 7/8 key becomes a permanent Windows 10 key for that device. You won't have to install Windows 7/8 before installing Windows 10 again.
So poor people will pay some human traffic criminal for a place in a crowded boat with no security for a chance to reach the island.. i wonder what would they do if that ever happens... [/sarcasm]

Last time this happened a higher court judge quickly reestablished the service, i'm sure the block will not last that long...

Baltimore... and New Orleans, Detroit, St Louis, Pittsburgh, Memphis, Atlanta.. just to name a few of US cities with a higher murder rate than Rio...
Or they could just go to any public hospital in Brazil and have all the treatment they need for free.
The problem is the bay and lagoon where sailing and rowing will be taking place, not the open waters or beaches, they are MUCH cleaner.
Yes, and a Skype to Skype call is no different than a Whatsapp to Whatsapp call, yet they have said nothing about Skype being illegal.
Depending of the plan you get unlimited SMS. Cheaper plans from my operator gets me unlimited SMS inside its network, and 500 SMSs to other networks.
This is true, it wasn't working this morning at home (VDSL2) and at work (small corporate provider). Not even http://web.whatsapp.com/ was working...

So Porsche is so concerned about our privacy that they refused to enable Android Auto? Why don't they let us choose? GM's MyLink supports both...
7Zip has the option to build self extraction archives.
Its still down for me in Brazil. So yeah, its global...
Its crazy how strong this is, people in São Paulo, Brazil saw their lights swinging lightly from their ceiling. Thats 2500 km or 1600 miles away!
