  You fundamentally are misunderstanding what the issue is. You were given funds to a tournament and for whatever reason moved them from the secure paypal to a shared banking account with someone that is technologically illiterate. You were extremly negligent with those funds that’s why it’s an issue.

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including #Walmart, #Nike, and #Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  Years later, Peter Thiel watched the intelligence failures of 9/11. The CIA, FBI, and NSA had all the data to stop the attacks, but it was scattered across disconnected databases. Thiel realized the government had the exact same problem PayPal had.

  $BTC.X $ETH.X There are going to be several moments next week when passing the Clarity Act looks certain, and crypto spikes. Also Clarity will pass. There’s a compromise on stable coin yield that both sides are satisfied with. The ethics thing will be treated like it always has been with government officials owning equities (and senators hate bringing attention to this issue because they all trade and profit in stocks). Now 140 of the world’s largest tech and finance companies NEED Clarity to pass for their new stable coin. BNY melon, Blackrock, Google, Samsung, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal etc - all their lobbying efforts and backroom deals will be put to work on passing Clarity. People who think you just wait for September to buy due to historical patterns are going to get front-run badly. We never had a cycle last cycle. This one’s going to be 2-5X a normal cycle and people are willing to get in a month or two early in order to ensure they don’t miss it. $QQQ

  PayPal spent 25 years building a payment empire on card rails it didn't own. Now PYUSD settles natively on @0xPolygon , no bridge required. For years the model was simple. Money moved slow, @PayPal sat in the middle, everyone paid the toll for the privilege of waiting. The delay is what kept the booth open. A native stablecoin flips who's standing at the tollbooth. Settlement in seconds, bridge tax gone. Paxos issues it under OCC oversight, so this isn't some offshore experiment running in the dark. No token pump, no manifesto about killing banks. Just PayPal quietly moving its dollars onto rails where settlement cost trends to zero. The boring layer wins. A company that got rich on slow money is now betting on fast money. Someone inside decided the float wasn't worth defending forever. Western Union should be taking notes. So should every bank still charging three days for a wire.

  @treviastevia yeah I reach out to them, they thank me for this, and told me they will fix it (once I looked week after I saw they only removed paypal email from server response), not it looks like they fixed it, but oh well, damage was done.

  Ms Ziles… you are doing witchcraft on people and killing people. I have physical proof because you are messing with my x account. You have hacked into my computer, deleted things from my QuickBooks account locked my PayPal account and you’re fake sitting on your pedestal… you are a failed CEO and you should spend more time at your company than you do ******* with my account. I am not the person to play with because I tell you what my extended family just had two bouts of cancer. Another can can’t get their career off the ground. They’re constantly being drained and they’re constantly being targeted so I suggest you sit ******** down and shut ******** up and that’s final. Focus on your children, your company and your career because if you don’t, I will take all of it. I am not the person that needs to be humbled. I have laid low for 44 years.

  Well, glad I got up early - got the amazon card paid down, paypal credit paid down enough to nix any interest going forward (so long-term savings there), got the bank card paid down for the minimum and opted to comparison shop between amz and WM and WM is way cheaper right now

  I have 3 home service businesses in 2 states and have been using @Workiz (home service CRM) for 5 years. I’m vibe coding my own and giving up consistent reliability for control and here’s why. 1. No api. 2. Can’t change the booking funnel. Look at 1800 got junk or any of the largest home service businesses. Zip code input for availability -> client info -> time selection is proven. It works. I want it. 3. With Quo (openphone) we can send texts that do not have “Text STOP to unsubscribe” Workiz is a huge company and they have to constantly safe guard compliance. I don’t care. It absolutely pummels our first text response rate to new leads. Think 30% difference in response rate. Terrible. Sue me I’d rather have efficiency. 4. There are at least 5 integrations I can think of for automations on nurturing leads, referrals, current clients, invoices that i want full control over. They cap you on automations and have limited integrations without using Zapier that sucks and breaks constantly. 5. Admin dashboard. This is huge. I want to be able to talk to my data constantly. I want to change UI of how I see everything our backend touches. Cannot do this. 6. Payment processing. 3.49 percent is brutal on no swipe POS processing of invoices and when employees card reader dies. PayPal POS has WAY more favorable rates. I have done it for one of my businesses and it’s worth it already in closed leads, follow ups, website conversion rates with better funnel, and understanding of our data. They have honestly been great and IMO significantly better than other sometimes more expensive options ie housecall, service titan, jobber, etc. Not to mention saving 8k a year.
