might be because Nubank is a brazilian company and in Brazil, English isn't the first language.


Their tech hubs are not based in Brazil.

> We are continuously growing globally, with more than 7,000 employees of over 46 nationalities. We are present in 7 countries: Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, also where we have operations, and Argentina, Uruguay, the United States, and Germany, where we have our tech hubs.

Although they have presence in other places, their main tech talent is most definitively from, and living in, Brazil, specifically São Paulo. Not sure why you would think otherwise.

I don’t "think" anything; I wrote "their tech hubs are not based in Brazil", which is exactly what is stated on their website.


>I don’t "think" anything

Yup, won't disagree with you on that one.

>which is exactly what is stated on their website.

Really? Curious to see where they say that. Let's try ddg: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=where+are+nubank+tech+hubs&t=canon..., the first result is:

>Get to know Nubank’s main headquarters in Pinheiros, Sao Paulo/Brazil https://building.nubank.com.br/nubank-office-pinheiros/

Maybe their About page:

>We have offices or technology hubs in six countries, and our staff is composed of around 8,000 Nubankers from over 50 different nationalities (as of December 2022). https://international.nubank.com.br/about/

Okay, I give up.


Still surprising to see a poorly written piece of text. You'd think Nubank's comm leadership would have an extensive language background in English.


Sorry I can't understand this comment.

> Still surprising to see a poorly written piece of text.

What's the subject of this sentence fragment? Are you relying on a colloquial implied "It" (as in "It's still...") or perhaps you are talking about your own surprise, e.g. "I still find it surprising..."?

> Nubank's comm leadership

Is this some slang for PR department? Or maybe Communications Team leadership?

> would have an extensive language background in English

I'm sorry, I don't follow at all. Hazarding a guess by rearranging the words a bit - do you mean: "would have an extensive background in the English language"?

I'm not sure how you can determine the background of someone by how fluently they can write a language - particularly when the piece in question is written better than what most college students in the US can produce.


While your response is clever, I am not writing a communication piece for a large bank.

> I'm not sure how you can determine the background of someone by how fluently they can write a language - particularly when the piece in question is written better than what most college students in the US can produce.

Perhaps not so much grammatically, but the text intonation and others parts of the text do not give the proper formal tone of the comm.

> when the piece in question is written better than what most college students in the US can produce.

As if this piece of information is some high bar to overcome.


Absolutely savage way to make a very good point. (with a colloquial implied "It" of course)


This is a really amazing game.

Im telling all my friends about this one!


As a huge fan of rap music in general, I think there are many songs which promote illegal activities.


Flight sim in the rift is what I spend the majority of my free time doing.

Not sure what type of flight sim you are into, but using a proper yoke, throttle, and rudder pedals makes the experience much more immersive.


I use FSX and X-Plane. I already have a yoke/throttle/rudder pedals. I agree, they vastly improve the experience more than anything else.

I currently use a TrackIR with two monitors, but truth be told it's a bit janky and I find it very difficult to visually tell angles (for example: what's the angle of my plane to the runway? I could use the heading indicator for that purpose but I don't want to develop bad habits for real-life flights).

The hands thing would let me flip switches in-cockpit, which is nice. No more mouse!


Applied. no response yet.


The rise of SMS based apps is very real.

This one looks cool though. Would love to try it when/if it rolls out to Los Angeles.


is this the return of smarterchild?


Well, only to the point where it can answer your queries. Myra aims to be actually useful ;)

But jokes apart - I think that using apps on the phone is like using bookmarks in 1999. Why do we have single purpose "links" that allow you to a few things, that you need to remember? What is indexing all of these services, and allowing you to get them on demand, just by expressing intent? Almost a search engine - but one that actually gets things done, rather than just displaying information.

very thrilled about this and being able to payout internationally as a marketplace!

Just bookmark it after searching.


what operating systems will it support out of the box?


Linux and Windows.

We’re starting off with Windows and Linux options for now but plan to offer more operating systems in the future.


Can I store the state of my machine, or do I only get one instance/snapshot at a get go? What if the machine gets corrupted? What kind of backups?


Paperspace founder here. You can take snapshots at any time and we offer an instant rollback to a safe state in the event something happened. One of the neat benefits of virtual machines over traditional desktops.


What version of windows are you running in this VM?


Awesome stuff. I use sift science, in addition to some basic fraud prevention, and what they are doing has allowed me to sleep easier at night.

Kudos to the Sift Science team!
