  Elon Musk was asked what advice he'd give to his younger self. Most billionaires answer this with something about taking more risks or believing in yourself earlier. Elon said he would tell his younger self to spend less time working. The interviewer laughed. Elon didn't. He explained that the version of him that built PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla did so at a cost that he's not sure was worth paying. That there are years he doesn't remember because he was inside a factory for 100 hours a week and the days blurred into one long shift. That he missed relationships, health, and moments with his children that he can never recover. He said the tragedy isn't that he chose work. It's that he's not capable of choosing differently. That his brain is wired to see unsolved problems as emergencies and he doesn't know how to turn that off. Even knowing the cost, even regretting the cost, he would probably do the same thing again because he can't help it. That's the answer nobody wants to hear from the most successful builder alive. That the thing that made him extraordinary is the same thing that took everything else. And he'd warn his younger self about it while knowing the warning would be ignored. Some lessons can only be learned by living them. Even if you already know the answer.

  @Hasiradoo i’m confused- it doesn’t make a difference because paypal emails have to remain public for buyer transparency. anyone will get a notification for who they paid and a receipt to their email regardless. the phone number would be a huge issue, but they’ve since removed it and now it’s just username and display name.

  I complained to @PayPal - PayPal closed the case immediately saying I didn't cancel ahead of the renewal. Word of warning to everyone - @discord makes canceling automatic subscriptions incredibly difficult. I am seriously considering closing my server and building an old school BBS again.

  I think people are giving Phoebe Gates far less grace than they'd give almost any other first-time founder. Remember this is the same industry which is known for these dark patterns, like honey and no one here shamed the honey founders when they did it. Only a lawsuit was filed against PayPal which is the natural progression of things. Not to mention the whistleblower here was a direct competitor, Capital One so it's actually a big company bringing down a startup. Generally in such scenarios people support the startup but here it's the reverse. Its essentially that her last name has made this a much bigger story than it would have been for most founders. If Phia had been started by two unknown twenty-somethings, the conversation would probably be about a browser extension that crossed a line. Because one of the founders is Phoebe Gates, it quickly became a debate about her character. It's also easy to forget that she didn't simply inherit a company. Bill Gates didn't fund Phia. She and Sophia Kianni raised outside capital, built a team, launched a product, and convinced people to use it. Having famous parents can open doors, but it also means every mistake gets judged more harshly and every headline carries extra weight.

  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.

  I started this donation drive 10 days ago, and we have already reached more than 117,000 PHP. 🥹 Despite the PayPal issues and all the stress that came with it, the truth is that I have never regretted starting this donation drive. Story time: As some of you may know, there have been people spreading rumors and false accusations about me, including calling me a scammer. This has been happening for months. I tried my best to ignore it, but I won’t lie, it affected me, especially because I am also part of another fandom aside from being a Yobie. When the ticket sales started, I actually had no plans of creating a donation drive. I simply sponsored one ticket myself because I wanted to help in a small way. I also encouraged others to sponsor, and I was able to connect someone who wanted to help with someone who needed a ticket. At that point, I was just acting as a bridge between fans who wanted to give support and fans who needed assistance. Then someone messaged me wanting to donate, and I thought, why not? Why should I let other people stop me from helping Yoko? If I stopped supporting her because of rumors and accusations, even when I know I did nothing wrong, then that would mean they succeeded in stopping me from doing something good. So I decided to start this donation drive. Honestly, I never expected that so many people would support it, especially with everything that has been said about me. That is why I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you not only to everyone who donated, but also to those who continue sharing my posts, spreading the word, and showing your trust and support. You have no idea how much it means to me. Thank you for believing in me and for allowing me to continue doing something I genuinely want to do: supporting Yoko. 🫶🏼

  The Team Behind Newton Protocol Built The Wallet Infrastructure Powering Polymarket Magic Labs isn't new to onchain infrastructure at scale. 57 million wallets. 200,000+ developers. Embedded wallet technology that powers some of the highest-traffic consumer applications in crypto. Polymarket — the prediction market that became a cultural moment during the 2024 US election — runs on Magic Labs' wallet infrastructure. @newton_xyz is Magic Labs' next layer. The embedded wallet technology they built solved one specific problem: making wallet creation invisible to the end user. No seed phrase, no extension, no friction at the point where most onchain products lose people. PayPal Ventures backed that bet. Newton Protocol is a different kind of problem — not reducing friction for end users, but adding enforceable structure for the infrastructure layer underneath them. 57 million wallets moving value onchain eventually need authorization infrastructure. Those wallets interacting with DeFi vaults, RWA platforms, and institutional products need compliance layers that aren't just UI checkboxes. The core developer team that built scalable wallet infrastructure is now building the authorization layer that operates before those wallets settle transactions. There's a through line. Magic Labs spent years solving the problem of how to onboard users into onchain products without the experience breaking. Newton is now solving the problem of how to make the transactions those users initiate compliant, secure, and verifiable — without the experience breaking. The technical foundation is different. The design principle is the same. Friction belongs in the infrastructure, not in the user's path. $NEWT $BTC #Newt

  Attention those having problems with Restrictions & payouts & need solutions beyond Facebook's support team! 1. Did you know that you can contact the Consumer Federal Public Bureau and they will help you. If Meta claims they issued a payout to your bank, PayPal, or Stripe, but the funds are frozen, missing, or rejected, file a complaint against the payment company or bank via the CFPB Complaint Portal. 2. If Meta is completely refusing to calculate, acknowledge, or clear your monetization earnings, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the correct federal regulator. The FTC monitors deceptive business practices, breach of digital merchant contracts, and unfair treatment of independent creators. Take Action: Submit a formal business fraud report at the official FTC Report Fraud Portal 3. State Attorney General: File a report with your state's Attorney General Consumer Protection Division. State AGs have dedicated teams that routinely force tech companies to assign real humans to investigate local creator complaints. 4. Better Business Bureau (BBB): File an official complaint on the BBB Meta Platforms Profile. Meta maintains an active team on the BBB to resolve issues and protect their corporate rating, often resulting in direct contact
