I also had the same thinking, when somehow my mother started watching Chinese TV shows. She first started with kdramas on Netflix, tried to watch a few Japense and didn't liked... then moved to Chinese dramas. And it seems, it's g

You actually talked about a point that I think most people forget. One thing is Japan or Korea being super good in tech. Another thing is when you basically have 10 Japan or 20 South Korea, which is what China is with the 1bi population. Wh

Yes, a lot. Search engine for me is not just for simple questions. I still want to search for specific articles, websites, etc. Want to filter by date...

Not sure if there's an english website about it, but in Portuguese quality content you can find without paywall I would say is NeoFeed https://neofeed.com.br/ Brazil Journal too, but it usually focus more on market as

I wouldn't trust this data. You realize the first link you send, is a data from DATAFOLHA, a private pollster. And the one who paid for the poll, was a ATM company (TecBan)? Pix is still doing record of transactions, every month. http

Yeah, there was already alternatives before pix, like PicPay/Mercado Pago, and Pix just "killed" them (people still use to be clear, but just as a normal payment app)

100% this. My (BR) state have a weather service¹, it's amazing. What people don't realize, it's that the service isn't just made for normal people see if is gonna rain, it's that the service is fundamental for agric

it works like any other bank transfer, so yes. But the bank only reports after a certain amount.

by vitorgrs 2y ago
Before Pix, people already needed to put the full number, the CPF, and Bank agency number, so it's an improvement compared to old Brazilian transfers.

There's NFC support now... You can now use Pix inside Google Pay (with NFC or QR code etc as well).

Banco Rendimento supports it, I believe.

There's also "Pix Copia e Cola" (Pix Copy and Paste)

Yes. As soon as June, Brazilian pix will support "Automatic Pix". Which means, basically, Pix will support subscriptions. So let's say, you authorize Netflix with pix, and then every month they will charge you with Pix automa

I always like to ask these models who invented the airplanes, because a few countries have their own inventor... So in my opinion, it's a good way to check.

Honestly wouldn't compare Vargas with Trump here. Trump policies for me seems similar to what the military regime did (1964-1985) Before Vargas rule (around the 30-40's), Brazil was an agrarian state, basically commanded by coffee

Most countries do specific tariffs on areas of the economy they want to develop/protect them. If a country is doing price dumping, there's even legal ways of protecting these sectors, by applying to WTO (but the U.S basically kill

Yeah. Specially because the U.S economy is service-focused (and consumption as well). Like, imagine now that all your computers will be more expensive/worse. This will affect services from like, a law firm - to a tech company. Will mak

Likely will result in worse products as well (which is what happens when you remove competition). LaTam is perfect example on how bad this "wide" protectionism is. There's a ton of economic papers about it. If you really want

The weighted average of the new U.S. tariffs will be 29% it seems. Maybe they know the consequences, but to give you a idea... it was 1.5% before. The new ones will be equivalent to Brazilian tariffs in 1989 before opening the economy (31%,

First I'll say that I say this as my view as a Brazilian, that actually have a very good and default opinion about the U.S, as far as a Brazilian can be. U.S is an economic powerhouse, Russia isn't. So yes, U.S attracts worldwide

Depends "where". Don't think most people in Latin America see a problem with the U.S being less powerful, even it makes China more powerful. This might sound weird, but in Latin America a lot of people see the U.S in a simila
