I´m always baffled by the fact that PIX discussions (almost?) never address issues of privacy: the whole system is offered (and run) by the Brazilian central bank. Due to its popularity here, the central bank has enormous, detailed and live insight into a citizen´s financial life.

Even the dullest and most unimaginative civil servant / tax office employee / security or police member must have wet dreams imagining all the possibilities...

Looks enticing! Regrettably a quick install (using the dotnet tool method, Win10) installs without error, but running the app results in an unresponsive window (both terminal and console), logs show no error... None of the key commands work (not even Q). Import data woks, but does not change the unresponsive window. Not looking for tech support, just making you aware that some additional steps might be required in the README (are there geographic limitations?). Thanks!

Hmm, not here: clicked it away once and it never appeared again (110;0 on Win10 btw)

After docking, it will head for Earth soon and then "Similar to the way a stone can skip over water, the return capsule will sprint into the atmosphere and then ascend again out of it, in order to reduce its speed to first cosmic velocity, which is around 8 kilometers per second, before landing safely at its designated site. " Pretty nifty... is this the first time such a technique is used to re-enter the atmosphere i wonder. Never heard of it before

Interesting. It only strikes me as odd that neither blog linked on that site mentions it, and the IP address won´t resolve on any DNS server around. What gives?
