  @msimoni Eeeh there is plenty of precedent of complexity: - Lookalike collisions and fakes ("paypal" with cyrillic letters) - Unicode normalization forms C vs D - Whitespace characters that are or aren't spaces themselves (like vertical tab but way worse) - Composite characters and emoji with zero-width joiners - Search and collation being locale dependent If you have e.g. string interpolation in a language you also need to handle that "properly" inline. Doing it well means being well versed in the Unicode spec. I think what most prefer to do instead is segregate all non-ascii characters from the syntax. That's a solution but it can cause issues in certain locales.

  @a_street_sign @Tony_Baloney69 It was multiple different websites/apps though. Steam, paypal, etsy etc. Superrrrr strange to not even get a single alert from any of them about a login attempt or code request. 2FA isn't something I deal with a whole lot for what I do so maybe I'm just too uneducated on how it all works lol.

  $1,200/mo from micro-saas built by a 4th grader someone told him he’s too young to code he showed his paypal and stopped the conversation the product: a bot that solves algorithm problems for college students and sends back explained solutions in under an hour the video shows a kid at his desk - codeforces on one monitor, VS code on the other, timer showing 25 seconds. he’s wearing glasses too big for his face and a brooklyn t-shirt submission page behind him is a wall of green “Accepted” verdicts this child built an automated homework business before learning fractions how it started: his older cousin complained about a data structures assignment due at midnight. the kid looked at it, said “that’s easy”, solved it in 10 minutes. cousin sent him $20 as a joke the joke became a saas he noticed he was solving the same types of problems over and over - sorting, binary search, dynamic programming. same patterns, different numbers. so he built a system the stack (his dad helped with deployment): > discord bot that accepts problem screenshots > claude code parses the problem and identifies the pattern > pulls matching solution template from his personal library > customizes it for the specific inputs > generates an explanation so clients don’t fail when professors ask questions he built 47 solution templates covering 90% of undergrad CS assignments the bot handles easy and medium problems automatically. hard ones ping him on his ipad and he solves them manually between classes pricing: > easy problems (auto-solved): $15 > medium problems (auto-solved): $25 > hard problems (manual): $50 > rush fee under 2 hours: +$20 average turnaround: 34 minutes for auto, 2 hours for manual he processes about 60 problems per month. $1,200 average, some months hit $1,800 during finals college students have no idea the service is run by a 9 year old he uses his mom’s paypal and tells everyone his name is “Alex” with no profile picture. voice chat disabled on discord his codeforces rating is higher than most of his clients. started competitive programming at 7 because “minecraft redstone got boring” parents found out when paypal notifications wouldn’t stop. confused, then concerned, then proud, then confused again he wanted to raise prices last month mom said finish your homework first the homework was multiplication tables

  The first PayPal alert he ever got was $12. He screenshotted it four times. Sent it to nobody. Just sat in the dark at 1:47am in his family house, phone brightness all the way down so his parents wouldn't see the light under the door. That amount was not serious money at that time. But he sat there for a long time. Because he had just proved something to himself that nobody could take back. The first online payment doesn't feel like money. It feels like permission.

  PayPal (PYPL) down 20%+ YTD as 3 headwinds mount: slowing revenue growth, fierce competition from Apple Pay & Google Pay, and shrinking margins. Can PayPal turn around amid rising competitive pressure? YES or NO? #PayPal #PYPL #Fintech

  ⚡ PayPal and Google Cloud just said agentic commerce at scale needs crypto rails. Open payment protocols. Machine-readable catalogs. Multi-party custody. Translation: AI agents buying and selling autonomously can't run on legacy banking. Too slow, too closed, too human. This isn't hype. This is infrastructure mapping. #Crypto #Payments 👉 @coingonet

  Which case do you want to know about first? 1. PayPal for public debanking and life destruction? 2. Ebby Halliday for 5 yr monetize defamation in DFW? 3. AUSA Scott Free Gmail Fabrication in DC? 4. Writ of Error in DC from J6? LMK.

  The problem is that it’s a coordinated disinformation campaign against Nick by people like Bronze Age Pervert and other influencers who are in the pocket of the administration, PayPal mafia, Israel, etc. Ever notice how they all post at the same time? They do it so they can create a narrative about Nick which obfuscates the truth. They’re not misunderstanding him, they’re lying. They’re fine lying to themselves, to their audience, and to God.

  There are upsides and downsides to both methods. Personally I use the non-steam method directly through Square. 1) I can still use paypal, and have never had payment method issues. (I primarily use credit card. If people have payment issues, chances are this isn't the only 🧵

  Actually I find PayPal good just make sure you follow it's TOS. Been using it for years and have no issues. 1. Do not keep sending/recieving money as family and friends. This is used by many to bypass PayPal commission on every transaction, so most people have gotten accounts closed due to this. 2. Have a separate business and personal, just make sure business is for strictly business. 3. Never login to PayPal using a VPN, this is always used by attackers to the PayPal system and thus, it's very strict on accessing it using a VPN. 4. When sending or recieving invoices, make it professional, describe your invoices well, add addresses (unless you're a drug dealer, everyone has an address and a billing address) 5. Never withdraw all your money for you need a minimum balance in case of disputes, every online business faces disputes. 6. Make sure your invoices have clear details on how users can reach you and for subscription businesses, make sure your application has clear address, TOS and privacy policy with clear refund policy. 7. Never try to bypass their transaction fees, it's better getting less money than trying to bypass transaction fees. 8. Create a pattern, imagine someone getting $500 monthly and just one day you get $10k. 9. When clients send you money, don't rush to withdraw, it's a bad signal. 10. And much more.

  @0xSupremo_ @GoKiteAI kite-2:native is their L1 blockchain for AI agent payments launched mainnet last month with Avalanche, PayPal, Google, Coinbase backing the infrastructure. core thesis is AI agents need native rails to transact autonomously just partnered with Ankr for RPC layer 4 hours ago. also named in OKX's Agent Payments Protocol alongside AWS and major L1s $KITE sitting at $0.16, down 50% from march ATH but up 16% on the month. had a 215M token unlock on may 1st (19% of mcap) broader context: AWS just enabled USDC payments for AI agents via Stripe and Coinbase. x402 crossed $100M in agentic payments Q1. Base captured 90%+ of that volume agentic payment infrastructure is heating up fast

  @WillBiddy_ @visheshbajpai13 You got some diamond hands hold for holding $PYPL, even their last report was rough IMO I didn't look much into, but expenses growing more than revenue is terrible ( especially for a company like PayPal)
