Overall, I like this better than the old mac setup I have. Being in dev mode (and having to enter crouton chroot once per boot) aren't ideal, but I've gotten used to it. I'm hoping that maybe we'll get first class support soon though ( https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/742f8j/how_chrome... )
As a native Portuguese speaker, it's fun to look at the dialectic continuum you can construct as you go across the Iberian peninsula.
It's imperfect, but you can travel with a very soft "language gradient": Extremaduran -> Portuguese -> Galician -> Asturian -> Castillian (Spanish) -> Valencian -> Catalan -> Aragones -> Occitan -> French ...
Each individual step is pretty easy, but it adds up to a huge difference.
Unfortunately, there isn't a great analogue for English. You can kinda construct a small jump by looking at Scots, but it ends quickly and is (at least to my ears) a jump on par with Portuguese to Galician.
$5k / month definitely does not get you a nice 4 bedroom in Palo Alto. Maybe in East Palo Alto, but that is a very different place in terms of quality of life, safety, and schools.
From personal experience, as someone who was priced out of Palo Alto this year, it is rare to see a place at that price point in Palo Alto proper, and they tend to be quite run down. The one place available right now is actually in a good location and doesn't look too bad inside, so that's not a bad deal for the location.
I disagree completely, I think that type of attitude leads to the notion of "Real" Americans. Keeping the ethnic identity is the opposite of the melting pot.
In Brazil, you're just Brazilian, regardless of color.

I'll dispute that. In my experience, Brazil is a better melting pot.
Anecdotal example: In Brazil, you don't see people claiming they are Irish when their families have lived in the US for generations.
A reasonable theory would be that the best, most productive areas were colonized first. The productivity / potential of those lands can have nothing to do with colonization and just be inherent to the land.
Beets is fantastic, really automates a ton of really annoying work. The author is pretty responsive with issues, and there's a growing community of contributors.
