I think both are at play here and I don’t know about Musk’s programming skills. But it seems that they had other very good programmers (including levchin). So maybe business success can buy good engineers to clean the messed up code. I’m no

How many big fraud cases happened in the US over the last decade? I can think of many of them. Would u say that it’s a cultural thing in the US because of that? So ur statement is more about prejudice than anything.

Maybe for most of their acquisitions (but I don’t know). But they do get acquisitions right: YouTube, android, double click, Waze…

Is this still a valuable read today (specially taking it into account)? It's been in my reading list for a while now but I'm always postponing :|

Pix costs are very low and the fee for the merchant as well. They pay less for it and get the money instantly. That’s why many small merchants only accept pix and some big merchants offer discounts for payments using it.

It could give cashback if it cost 3% of the transaction. But it’s it’s actually much cheaper. For credit cards you have to pay for the brand, the issuer and the acquirer. And each gets a nice cut.

Why do you think PIX doesn’t have customer service or security? It’s regulated by the central bank but operated by private companies.

It’s more like 3% if you receive the money after 30 data and 10% if you get it in the best day.

Yes. But credit cards have high costs for the merchant. Thats why they get to give us cashback. It depends on the country, but the cut rate goes from 1% (in europe) to 3% in Brazil. And the merchant gets the money after a long time. It is p

Im not op and I’m not sure they are using it for money laundering. A money launderer can use a marketplace by creating a seller account and buying from himself. Since he’s the one buying he doesn’t need to deliver anything but he gets the m

That’s true for the moment, specially because you’d need an agreement between both countries. But payment processors in Brazil are already offering “international pix”, that Brazilians can use to pay foreign companies. It’s the same experie

Thanks for the recommendation. Have you looked at Bishop’s Deep learning book ( https://www.bishopbook.com/ )? How would you compare both? Thanks again

Maybe the book it’s just not for you. It doesn’t mean it’s not for anyone. I understand that deep learning is all in vogue now. But when I was in graduate school, a professor asked me why I was using neural nets in a project since it was no

This looks interesting. Does anyone knows how it compares to other learning theory books like foundations of machine learning [1] in terms of depth and approachability? [1] https://cs.nyu.edu/~mohri/mlbook/

I think that maybe we underestimate how hard it is to choose the right companies to “kill” when you’re a competitor. The default mode is to say that they won’t go anywhere because of many factors (they don’t have the resources, the access,
