  11. Passkeys the password replacement hiding in Safari. When you create an account on a website that supports Passkeys, Safari offers to create a Passkey instead of a password. A Passkey is a cryptographic credential stored in your iCloud Keychain synced across all your Apple devices. You authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID. No password to remember. No password to type. No password to steal. Passkeys can't be phished. There's nothing to enter on a fake website. The authentication is biometric and device-bound. Websites supporting Passkeys include: Google, Microsoft, Amazon, PayPal, eBay, Best Buy, Kayak, and hundreds more with the list growing monthly. Settings → Passwords → check your saved accounts. For any site that supports Passkeys, Safari prompts you to upgrade during your next login. One Face ID scan replaces every password on every supporting site. Safari manages it automatically. No password manager subscription needed.

  @JaySekulow Please fix your donation system. Either use Apple Pay or allow auto fill for credit cards. It’s frustrating. No one is going to go track down their credit card and I definitely don’t use PayPal.

  Whitney Webb just exposed the real reason why Palantir was created: To privatize mass surveillance. “This is admitted in mainstream media.” “So don’t tell me this is a conspiracy theory.” “Alex Karp admitted that the CIA was always the intended client of Palantir.” Webb and Mark Goodwin just broke down the truth about Palantir’s origins: After 9/11, DARPA launched the Information Awareness Office to develop a government mass surveillance apparatus. Reagan-era National Security Advisor John Poindexter led the new IAO. After massive public scrutiny and backlash, Congress defunded it. But the program never really shut down. It was moved into the private sector with the help of Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. Webb: “Peter Thiel comes, fresh off of selling PayPal … he’s got all this money, and he’s like: I’m gonna make this company called Palantir.” “Palantir … had really started off as the anti-fraud algorithm at PayPal.” “When PayPal was being created, Max Levchin sort of gave it away.” Goodwin revealed that Max Levchin essentially admitted in an interview at the time: “When I was developing all the anti-fraud stuff at PayPal, I was working with every three and four letter agency that I could.” “Meaning the CIA, and the DOD, and DARPA.” “They form PayPal in the late ‘90s.” “They make a bunch of money, and it’s Thiel and Levchin, admittedly working with the CIA and NSA, while developing this anti-fraud stuff.” “He takes that anti-fraud algorithm, which was built with the CIA in the private sector, and then rebrands it as Palantir.” Webb: “As they’re setting it up, they go through Richard Perle, who was involved with the Bush-era Department of Defense, and I believe the Office of Special Plans.” “He’s approached by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp.” “They’re basically like: we want to talk to John Poindexter, because what he was trying to do is what we want to do.” “They go and meet with Poindexter, who becomes named basically the godfather of modern surveillance because of this.” “He advises them on how to create Palantir.” “And then Palantir gets in bed pretty much right away with the CIA.” “They were their first and only client for their first six years.” @_whitneywebb @markgoodw_in

  A customer told us they couldn't pay an invoice yesterday. The account looked fine and the invoice was marked sent, so this would've been easy to chalk up to user error. Exa opened the actual customer portal. The invoice was there with Print and Download buttons… and no way to pay. Then it pulled a previous paid invoice from the same account and compared the payment options. The older one had PayPal, Stripe, and Zoho Payments attached. The new one had an empty gateway list. They never reached checkout because the invoice didn't offer one. We stopped there and routed the exact fix back for approval: attach the existing gateways and resend the corrected link. No test charge, no “try again” email, no guessing. I would've probably sent them a fresh copy of the same broken link. Seeing the portal exactly as the customer saw it changed the whole diagnosis.

  One of our peptide clients woke up last week to a dead checkout and funds on hold. No warning or email the night before. Just a Stripe shutdown that hit overnight and froze everything. This wasn't bad luck or a compliance mistake on their end. Stripe's own policy FAQ now states they are not accepting RUO peptide merchants. New applications get declined. Existing accounts get reviewed and terminated when the underwriting team catches what's being sold. Stripe, PayPal, and Square all have the same structural problem for this category. They approve accounts fast and underwrite them later. The moment a review catches the product type, the account dies. And industry reports on Mastercard's 2026 BRAM update indicate research peptides are specifically flagged, with fund holds that can run 90 to 180 days after shutdown. Three months of revenue frozen while you're rebuilding from zero. The brands that survive this aren't the ones it doesn't happen to. They're the ones who built the infrastructure knowing it would. The survival setup looks like this: A dedicated high-risk merchant account with an underwriter who explicitly approves peptide merchants, not an aggregator that approves first and asks questions later. A backup gateway already live and tested before the primary goes down. A shutdown becomes a bad day instead of a dead business. A billing descriptor that matches your store name. Chargebacks kept under 1%. Research-only language everywhere on the site. The June 28 Stripe policy change is one wave. There will be more. Build the fallback while your current processor still works. I put together a full payment processing guide specifically for peptide stores covering everything above in detail. Comment "PAYMENTS" and I’ll send it over.

  27-year-old Elon Musk paid $200 a month for a leaky roof office and slept in it because it was cheaper than an apartment. Summer of 1995, no money, no income, so he showered at the YMCA for 4 months and worked out of the nastiest place you can imagine. The office had 1 hidden advantage an internet provider sat on the floor below, so he drilled a hole in the concrete and plugged straight into their server for near-free bandwidth. He couldn’t afford a Cisco T1 router either, so he read a white paper and wrote an emulator, skipped the web server entirely to save CPU cycles, read port 8080 directly, and coded the first national maps, directions and yellow pages on the internet that summer in C with a little C++. The company was Zip2 online city guides, where to eat, how to get around. By 1998 CBS came to film the vintage Jaguar, the 6-figure salary, the dog, the house, the girlfriend, and a market Microsoft had tried to enter and failed. Then the reporter asked the standard 1998 question where is the internet going? The 27-year-old answered like he’d already seen the ending: “The internet is the superset of all media. Print, radio, broadcast all of it folds into the internet. It’s the first two-way medium that’s intelligent, where consumers choose what they see and when they see it.” That was 28 years ago and he was describing a feed. A year later Zip2 sold for $307M, the money became X com, X com became PayPal, and PayPal became rockets. It all started with a drill and the server downstairs.

  Chamath @chamath: the Stripe-PayPal bid is a shot across the bow for $V and $MA. That is the line that matters. The ~$60-per-share offer for PayPal is not really about PayPal. It is an attack on the card duopoly the market treats as untouchable. Here is the build. Stripe, Block ($XYZ), and Advent combine PayPal's 400-million-plus accounts with Stripe's roughly $2 trillion in payment volume and its risk and stablecoin stack. Sacks @DavidSacks sharpens the point: that scale enables far more **"on-us" transactions**, payments that settle inside the combined network and bypass Visa and Mastercard entirely. Every on-us transaction is interchange the networks never collect. The antitrust question turns on definition - call it merchant APIs and it is Stripe versus Braintree, blocked. Call it the card duopoly and it is pro-competitive. The consensus this cuts against: Visa and Mastercard trade as forever-compounders with an unbreakable toll on every swipe. Bill Gurley @bgurley made the same argument we heard here in June, that Visa's moat is "unjustified" and priced as if it can never be disrupted. This deal is the first credible disruption vector, not a PowerPoint. Implication: this is a slow-burn short-bias thesis on $V and $MA interchange, not a same-week trade. The networks do not lose volume tomorrow. But a vertically integrated rail with 600-to-700 million combined accounts changes the terminal-value story the multiple rests on. If you are long the networks for the moat, the moat just got a named challenger with $2T of volume behind it. Watch the deal's market-definition fight - that ruling decides whether the on-us threat is real or blocked at the starting line.

  Stripe + Block + Paypal (SBP) is a HUGE problem for Visa and Mastercard (V+M) because suddenly zillions of dollars of xactions become local only to SBP and off V+M networks (and pocketbooks). V, M or both must find something ginormous (now or potential) to buy... (e.g. what I'm building $-))

  @bitlancework D. Tools that make sense to normal businesses Invoices in USD or EUR that settle in BTC. Automatic receipts. Project milestones. Time tracking. Fiat off-ramps so a freelancer can cash out to M-Pesa, bank transfer, or stablecoins if they want. The client never has to touch Bitcoin if they do not want to. They pay with card, Bitlance converts, freelancer receives BTC. The complexity is abstracted away. This is the key. Bitlance is not asking the world to become Bitcoiners overnight. It is meeting both sides where they are, and using Bitcoin to remove the expensive middlemen in the middle. 6. Real impact: who this helps most Let us get specific, because "financial inclusion" is an abstract phrase. The designer in East Africa She is world-class. Her portfolio is on Behance. But 80% of clients ghost her when they see she cannot take PayPal. On Bitlance, she can take a $300 branding project, get paid in BTC in 10 minutes, and convert half to shillings for rent and keep half in BTC as savings. Her income goes up and her costs go down. The US startup founder He needs a dev for 20 hours this month. He does not want to deal with contractors in 3 countries and 3 payment systems. He posts on Bitlance, pays with his company card, and knows the dev will get paid immediately when the milestone is approved. No wire forms. No FX fees. The writer in Argentina Local inflation is 50% a year. Getting paid in pesos means losing value while the client processes payment. Getting paid in USD is hard because of capital controls. Getting paid in Bitcoin means she is paid in a global asset she can hold or convert when she chooses. It is a hedge and a paycheck. The agency They have 12 freelancers across 8 countries. Managing payroll used to take a full day and $200 in fees. Now they fund one Bitlance wallet and pay everyone out of it. Reconciliation is one export. Everyone gets paid faster. 7. The objections, and the answers "But Bitcoin is volatile" True. That is why platforms like Bitlance offer instant conversion to stablecoins or local currency at withdrawal. You can choose to be paid in BTC and hold, or be paid in BTC and convert in 1 click. The point is you have the choice. The rails are Bitcoin even if the unit you spend is stable. "What about taxes?" Bitlance provides exportable reports with date, amount in BTC, and USD value at time of payment. It does not solve your local tax law, but it makes reporting 10x easier than trying to track wallet addresses manually. "What about scams?" Escrow and reputation. Same as any marketplace. The difference is that because the money is in escrow, not in a company bank account, even if Bitlance went down tomorrow, funds could still be released by 2 of the 3 keys. That is a safety net traditional platforms cannot offer. "Will clients actually use this?" They already do when it is easier and cheaper. Most clients do not care what the backend is. They care: can I post a job, find good people, pay with a card, and know the work will get done. Bitlance delivers that, and the backend just happens to be Bitcoin. 8. The bigger picture: this is about economic sovereignty When you get paid through a traditional platform, you are a tenant. The platform sets the rules, takes the cut, and can evict you. When you get paid in Bitcoin through a platform like Bitlance, you are a participant in an open network. Think of it like email. Gmail is a great email client, but no one owns email. If Gmail bans you, you can move to Proton and keep your address and contacts. We need that for work. Bitcoin is the open protocol for value. Bitlance is trying to be the open protocol for freelance work on top of it. Portfolios, reviews, and escrow history could eventually be portable. You would not be locked into one marketplace. That matters because the next 10 years of work will be more freelance, more remote, and more global. The payment infrastructure has to match.
