  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.

  just heard a podcast ad with a weird mix. the person speaking was panned about 90% right, music pretty far left. made no sense, sounded terrible, jarring experience. very effective! I'm wondering why PayPal used such a poor audio engineer, so I am thinking more about PayPal.

  @YellowLabLife @BestBuy Always pay with paypal. They will resolve in your favour no problem (takes 2 minutes to submit a refund request). Then bank reverse the transaction as final straw.

  ELON MUSK’S #1 REGRET: HE TOOK 70 SECONDS TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION He reflected on his carrer and revealed the biggest mistake he’s made across his companies, including his first startup and PayPal. The error? Prioritizing raw talent over personality. Musk admitted he made this mistake multiple times, wrongly believing that "it's just about the brain". He eventually realized that while intelligence is important, it actually matters significantly whether a person has a good heart.

  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.

  On November 25, the CEO of HP @HP, $HPQ, put a number on the memory shortage before the market cared. Enrique Lores: "Memory costs are currently 15 to 18% of the cost of a typical PC." His fix: qualify cheaper suppliers, redesign products for reduced memory configurations, raise prices. Memory now runs roughly 35% of the cost of an HP PC. Double a year ago. Apple has since raised prices on 14 products and Tim Cook called the component squeeze a hundred year flood. Lores left to run PayPal in March. The warning did not. Source: HP Q4 FY25 earnings call
