  @BWellFolks @MidwesternDoc I would only use this brand- there can be issues with 3rd party sellers on Amazon (counterfeit). I would order directly from the DMSO store.

  I guess Musk and Bezos don’t have enough money to buy 51% of the stock in Tesla and Amazon, but if they did, how cool if they said, “Gee, we’re sorry we caused so much trouble,” and shut down both companies.

  @KWinfosecMafia Pros: Bypasses your bank issues completely—spends directly from PayPal balance. Free to get, acts like any debit card on Amazon, quick virtual option available. Cons: No credit float (debit only), must fund PayPal first if balance is low, daily spending limits apply, and it won't fix Amazon's retry loop on the original card. Still hit Amazon chat to kill the emails at the source.

  @haiyami9x @aaalexhl It might look like Coinbase is just tokens and trading, but there's way more under the hood. High level brain dump from my time in the industry and what I know they're working on: * Coinbase has 12 product lines doing $100M+ in revenue. That's just the ones above $100M. To get there, a ton of products failed or got absorbed along the way. Plenty of tech debt as a result. Impressive that some became breakout hits like this. Start-ups fail to even find any PMF and fizzle out. * They offer staking to custody customers. Adding fault-resistant staking for a new chain is not trivial. You really don't want enterprise clients getting slashed. Entire companies exist just for this (Kiln, Figment, etc). * Enterprise-grade custody is a huge wedge for them and they win a lot of deals. The wallet infra alone is brutal from a security standpoint. Whole companies do only this: BitGo, Fireblocks, Anchorage, Paxos. * Bank connectivity is constantly changing. Adds, removals, rail swaps, never ends. * AML tooling has to keep evolving. The threat landscape and regulatory expectations move every quarter. * Base started on the OP Stack with Optimism's help since Coinbase didn't have that expertise in-house. They've since moved off it and are doing their own L2 work. Maintaining that infra and growing a chain ecosystem is capital intensive and takes deep expertise. Look at what Solana has to do just to keep their ecosystem running. Not easy. * Base wallet needs constant updates and a real differentiator story. Entire companies do only wallets: Phantom, Consensys, etc. * Every new asset or chain needs resilient RPC infra to support custody, staking, and trading. Coinbase runs their own. Entire companies do only RPC: Alchemy, Helius, Infura, QuickNode. When I was at Paxos, certain RPC providers didn't have certain chains and were adding new ones monthly. Keeping up with the full ecosystem is very hard. * Signing infra has to be secure and scalable. This is the most sensitive part of the whole company and gets harder with every new chain since each one has its own quirks and security considerations. * Crypto-as-a-service. They power PNC, Webull, and 200+ other institutions. Whole companies do only this (Zero Hash, Paxos). * Stablecoin payment rails. Net new initiative, brand new integrations. * Coinbase membership is a constantly evolving product. Hard to get the value/cost balance right. I worked on Lyft Pink and the considerations were endless. As rideshare, bikes, scooters, and transit evolved, we constantly reshaped what was offered. One painful example: figuring out Chase member benefits and integrating Lyft and Chase systems so the 10x points counted correctly, plus easy onboarding and offboarding for cardholders. Other partner perks came and went over time (Grubhub, DoorDash, Amazon). Never ending. * I didn't touch security (constant threats and attack vectors), data (data is ever evolving and tooling changes). * I didn't even touch non-engineering teams and the regulatory landscape always changing which requires engineering system changes. * Didn't talk about the changing landscape of prediction markets, perps, and tokenized stocks which is a whole different story. * Left out everything the possibility of agentic payments and that whole industry that we don't even know what it could look like. It's still an unsolved problem. Very big sector for crypto and stablecoins. * Plus everything else: build tools, onboarding, compliance, threat monitoring, dev tooling, SDKs, ecosystem programs, etc. Not going deeper since this is already long. Another data point. When I led the engineering launch of USDL at Paxos, I coordinated across 8+ engineering teams plus security and data. We built net new infra. Going from a simple stablecoin to a yield-bearing stablecoin sounds trivial but it wasn't. The systems were built around a simple ERC20 stablecoin because that's what Paxos offered at the time, so the assumptions baked in everywhere had to be reworked. the regulatory landscape was constantly changing which added thrash to our requirements on the engineering side. My PM counterpart did the same on the non-eng side, leading 8+ teams (legal, product, marketing, BD, etc). What the team pulled off in 1-2 quarters was honestly pretty wild. One more point I’ll push back on is the idea that they should stop investing in the business and just “collect cash.” At that point, you’re effectively turning the company into a liquidating asset rather than an operating one. The stock price isn’t just a reflection of current earnings, it’s the market’s estimate of the company’s future cash flows over a given time horizon, discounted back to today. If a company stops reinvesting, those expected future cash flows flatten or decline, and the valuation typically compresses toward a low-growth or bond-like multiple, at which point investors would likely prefer safer fixed income like Treasuries. You also lose the ability to attract talent and sustain competitiveness, which usually leads to stagnation and eventual displacement by more innovative players.

  I learned my lesson last season when I bought WNBA league pass and it kept buffering on me. I will catch it on tv or Amazon for free until they fix that app.

  @AmazonHelp This is horrible. I quit buying for a while due to delivery issues. Time to do it again. This was the second time they did it this week. 2 times!!! I stayed home to get it out of the rain. They should at least update the web page or app with correct information

  $TTD is down nearly 75% from its 52-week high. But revenue still grew 12%. That tells you this isn’t just an earnings reaction. It’s a narrative reset. AI fear is hitting ad-tech. Amazon is pressuring CTV — streaming TV ads. Growth is slowing. The market is asking: Is $TTD broken… or just hated? $TTD #AI #AdTech #Stocks

  @grant_melson Elon is out there on X commenting on literally everything, from the life cycle of gorillas in the Amazon to elections in Burkina Faso, but he’s staying suspiciously quiet on this merger. It feels like he’s testing the waters or maybe even okay with it, which makes me think he’s slow-walking Robotaxi and Optimus until the deal goes through. That’s just another slap in the face to us Tesla shareholders who’ve stuck with him through five years of chaos and broken promises. I’m done with his hype and over-the-top talk just to get what he wants. Enough is enough.

  @PlotACourse @wholemars @AOC **Hypothetical scenario analysis (seizing ~$1T+ in founder/exec equity from Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Apple, Tesla and redistributing it):** Year 1: Markets crash 20-40% on these stocks. Pensions/401ks lose trillions in value. Companies face capital flight, credit downgrades, mass layoffs (hundreds of thousands). Poor receive one-time payments (~$3-5k per low-income household). Short-term spending spike, then inflation. Year 2: Innovation slows sharply. Talent exodus. Supplier ecosystems shrink. Tax revenue falls as profits evaporate. Global competitors (esp. China) gain ground. Recipients spend down funds; dependency rises without new jobs. Year 3: Sustained lower growth, fewer high-wage roles, reduced R&D. Net: Wealth destroyed > transferred. Poor see temporary relief but long-term fewer opportunities. Broader stakeholders (workers, retirees, economy) face net loss in value creation. No sustainable wealth without the engines that built it.

  @tuuu28283 Yes, when we bought it, the Vue already had 200K miles on it, and some of the front suspension components were worn out. We bought it as-is cheaply for cash, expecting to put the same amount into repairs. I bought the parts on Amazon and did what I could myself. I also added a backup camera, all LED lighting and a new radio/media player/display unit. It thus had a nearly 2020 feature set in a 2004 chassis. When AirTags became available, I hid two of them on the outside of the Vue, so we had vehicle tracking. During time when we had to park it outside, I added a built-in battery charger/maintainer and a crankcase heater. They ran off of an extension cord that could be routed out of the cargo hatch to an outside outlet. This made winter morning starts no problem at all — just unplug, turn the key and zoom off. The weakest link in the Vue was the Honda transmission. We tried to baby it along, but it was starting to show signs of age.

  Here's the structural problem nobody's talking about: 2/10 Chinese sellers are now 50% of Amazon's global active seller base. 62% of new registrations in 2024. Among $1M+ sellers, 57% are Chinese vs 39% American. Amazon didn't just allow this. They built a fulfillment hub in Shenzhen to accelerate it.

  @BellaBaddie__ It’s the mix being designed for 5.1. If your movie has a stereo track then it doesn’t happen, but sometimes even that gets messed up in down mixing. The cheapest solution if you’re just using tv speakers is a decent quality 3.1 soundbar. The amazon fire 3.1 gets great “budget” reviews on rtings, the premiere audio review site. Beyond that the sky’s the limit. Sweet spot is around $750. I recommend actual speakers+amp, but most people don’t want that anymore.
