  ~ Account just got de-activated in the middle of tasking.... ~ UK accounts suspended ~ Had issues with previous payment method as @airtminc has refused to verify clients details (got last weeks payout on pending till now) so we decided to change Payment method to PayPal for this week payment not to get stuck, only for outlier to deactivate the account even after the client verified. boyyy, it's tuff...

  Nick Fuentes is a piece of **** he wasnt cancelled and debanked that happened to me long before him i couldnt have a paypal account, an amazon account, a ebay account, couldn’t open a tradtional bank account, fraud happened to me with credit and it was shot all of my 20’s horrible credit couldn’t build it because fraud kept happening to me I was on a no fly list during Obama I couldn’t travel i had FBI and CIA vans around me outside all the time. My twenties was a very dark period I had a lot of fun but underneath when I wasn’t I was constantly being harassed and stalked i still am to this day i just had to learn things to ease it up a bit constantly had fake women who were most likely men trying to blackmail me it would happen a lot. I had a brain aneurysm in 2011 I know they tried to kill me I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ALIVE I AM A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX I AM SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD. They threw the kitchen sink at me and I survived through it all and came back I don’t know how. Yama tallies my karma and I hope to lead the life of the Eightfold path and no longer give into the 3 poisons I want out of the matrix and I will leave and not come back I just hope I can stay on this path and get off the wheel of life.

  Max Levchin explains why B-players hire C-players The co-founder of PayPal and Affirm reflects on the famous Steve Jobs insight that A-players hire A-players, and B-players hire C-players: “It’s profoundly true. But there should be an asterisk explaining why this is true. And the reason for this is fear.” A-players love working with other A-players because they know it will make them better. They want other A-players who challenge them and will tell them when their work isn’t good. Most B-players are net positive too, but as Max argues, some are fearful and will say: “If I have too many B-players or A-players around, I will look terrible and it’ll be very obvious that I’m just not that good. So the way to fix this is for me to become a manager and hire a bunch of people who aren’t very good at all so that I’ll look like the tallest mushroom.” Max continues: “That is the real danger of B-players. Having people who are perfectly willing to do good work day-in and day-out is not the worst thing in the world. There’s plenty of things that A-players will turn their nose from because it’s just not that challenging. B-players are very good for that [type of work]. And a lot of B-players will over time grind their way to being A-players, so you’re investing in their future and they know it, and that’s also positive. But B-players who have fear of being found out are the ones you have to watch out for.” Source: @HarryStebbings @20vcFund (Feb 2025)

  I’ve been running a fake charity out of my garage for three years. It started as a joke because my neighbor kept asking me to buy Girl Scout cookies and I wanted to see if I could sell something stupid. I made up "Save the Left-Handed Ferrets." Made a basic website, printed some flyers. I actually sold $4,000 worth of merch. I felt so guilty I donated $4,000 of my own money to a real animal shelter. But then people kept donating. Now I have $18,000 in a PayPal account. I can’t spend it, but I also can’t give it back because I don’t know who gave it. I tried to shut it down but the website got hacked and now it’s asking for crypto. I’m 53 and I’m accidentally running a money laundering front for a fake animal charity. My wife thinks I’m just really into ferrets now.

  I hate this tactic for promoting merch. I can't be the only one that's like fuckfuckfuck gotta get it now or it'll be gone. Plus isn't it convenient that suddenly you have issues with your Internet or PayPal at checkout and by the time you figure it out the item is gone.

  Kelp exploit obviously threw a wrench into any thesis anyone could have about $ZRO and their Zero blockchain, but ultimately, with how much down only the token has been lately, we are, imo, approaching a zone where r/r becomes interesting. While generally speaking, Relay continues to eat the share of traditional bridges (you don't even need to look at data - anyone who bridged around lately would notice how often it's the best option), LZ does maintain a moat around USDT bridging + other stablecoin partners (Paxos, PayPal) + RWAs with Ondo. Their bets on being the primary bridge for the emerging chains (Berachain in the past, MegaETH more recently) also clearly didn't play out, but at least they continue to be able to secure these deals. Also, while I continue to find the inability for LZ to pass the fee switch proposal absolutely hilarious (June's proposal got <3% of the quorum needed kekw), it's one of the few tokens left in DeFi/crypto where tokenomics kind of sort of make sense and accrue some value back to holders. Admittedly, the bar is incredibly low, but hey, if we were to get the DeFi resurgence in one form or another (maybe fueled by the Clarity Act, maybe by all the RWAs), that's got to be worth something.

  Got traffic that's ready to buy? Get out of their way. Test express checkout buttons right on the product page. We got a $12k difference here with that change. High-intent traffic isn't shopping around - they've decided. Every tap between "I want this" and "here's my card" is a tap you can lose them on. Shop Pay / PayPal / Apple Pay under the buy box 👉 straight to payment, skip the cart. PayPal especially prints here. People trust it and check out without a second thought. Don't slow down someone who's already sold.

  @ItsLulu_7 you can talk to anyone on earth in as near to real time as physics can currently take us, obesity and laziness are magnitudes more of a problem than starvation , with paypal you can pay for things in a couple of clicks and with amazon they can arrive at your home the next day.

  favorite bug today: re-subscribing to a free membership failed with "there's a problem with the creator's PayPal account" — even if the creator had no PayPal account. root cause: a guard for one rare PayPal edge case fired on anything with no stored card. free = no card. fixed.

  Whitney Webb just exposed the truth about Palantir’s origins. It was created to privatize mass surveillance. “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

  Is Vitabiotics the worst of the most chaotic businesses in the UK? I am unable to log into my subscription account so I try a phone call, after 40 minutes ringing a man answers "Which business are you trying to reach?" I explain the issue and he says "This line is for business callers, goodbye!" Thankfully PayPal makes it easy to cancel Pre-approved payments 🤨
