  the market runs 1,440 minutes a day. you run about 40. that's the entire problem. everything else you argue about on this app is downstream of that one number. so people build crutches. price alerts. a hundred goddamn price alerts. and a price alert is the dumbest possible version of your thesis, because it only knows one number. it can't tell a breakout from a wick that got bought back in nine seconds. the other camp sells you a bot. black box, a backtest curve going up and to the right, no way to ask it what the hell it's doing. most of it is a ******* screenshot business, not a trading business. TradeOS took the boring road instead. you type a sentence. plain English, no Pine Script, no repo to clone: "analyze QQQ 1D chart with trend analysis using moving average, MACD, squeeze momentum, ATR" that sentence becomes an agent: > it runs 24/7 > it watches the assets you named while you're asleep > it drops the verdict in your feed. "detected 3 trends." or nothing, which is also an answer. 13,000+ assets in reach. the agent doesn't get bored at minute 41. there's a second piece on there I think is underrated. an indicator market. one premarket S&P model has 19,347 subscribers on it. you can rent someone else's edge instead of rebuilding it from scratch, or publish yours and let other people pay for it. that's a real market, not a Discord with a paywall. now the part almost nobody clicks on. @TradeOS_ai is built on @verona_dev. Verona doesn't rent them blockspace. Verona earns a share of what the app earns. read that twice, because it inverts the usual deal. every other chain wants your gas and a logo in their ecosystem deck. Verona only gets paid when the app on top of it gets paid. that changes who they let build. a landlord takes any tenant. a partner does diligence. and look at who picked those rails. teams that moved money at eBay, PayPal, ByteDance, American Express. those people shipped payment infrastructure at a scale where a bad rail costs real money and somebody's job. they don't pick rails for the vibes. that's the signal I'd weigh, honestly. not the roadmap. the choice.

  7-Day App Store Ship Challenge Prize pot: $300 | 10 app builders | 1 clear winner Core Concept 10 independent app builders compete head-to-head. The single goal: build + ship a real, original iOS app that goes live on the Apple App Store within exactly 7 days. Only one person can win the entire $300 pot. No points system, no fancy features required — pure speed-to-live-app wins. Exact Winning Condition (so only one person wins) Build any original simple app (todo list, habit tracker, tip calculator, unit converter, etc. — nothing complex). Submit it to App Store Connect. Get it approved and publicly live on the App Store. Be the first participant to post public proof in the group chat/Discord:Live App Store link Screenshot of the app page showing “Available on the App Store” Timestamp of approval email from Apple First verified live app = automatic winner of the full $300. If two people go live on the same day, the earlier approval timestamp wins. If somehow nobody succeeds in 7 days → pot rolls over or is split equally (your choice). 7-Day Timeline Day 0 (kickoff): Everyone pays entry + gets Apple Developer account ready ($99/year required). Days 1–5: Build + test + prepare screenshots, privacy policy, description. Day 6: Latest possible submission deadline (gives Apple ~24–48 h review window). Day 7 (midnight UTC): Competition ends. First verified live app wins. Entry & Pot Rules Exactly 10 spots. Each person puts in $30 → $300 pot. Money collected upfront (PayPal/Wise/crypto) into a shared escrow or trusted organizer account. No refunds after Day 0. Money Payout Terms (clear & simple) Winner must provide: Live App Store link Apple approval email screenshot Short screen recording of the app opening from the App Store Once verified by the group (or 2 neutral judges): Full $300 is sent within 24 hours via the same method the winner prefers (PayPal, Wise, bank, USDC, etc.). Organizer takes $0 cut. If the winner used a no-code tool or template, it still counts as long as the app is original and live under their account. Suggested Simple Apps That Can Actually Ship in 7 Days Daily water tracker Random quote / affirmation generator Tip & bill splitter Simple habit streak counter Unit converter (weight, length, temperature) Use SwiftUI + Xcode (fastest for pure iOS) or Flutter if you already know it. Avoid anything that needs backend, login, or heavy graphics. Extra Protection Rules App must be original (no copy-paste of existing public apps). Must use your own Apple Developer account. No paid marketing or fake reviews during the 7 days.

  Worst Boyfriend Ever (@TwinkBukowski) reported 7 minutes ago

  I slept in the same bed as my mom last night. We tried to find something on Roku to watch but there was nothing worth watching and so we quit, and I just fell asleep at 9 pm. She asked me how Japan went and I said fine. I had fun. She said how you doing on money and I said fine. She said you know you’re going to have to pay taxes on that “meme coin” from January right? I said yes of course. She said you’re not in trouble are you? I said no I’m fine. Truth is I’m in so much trouble I wouldn’t even know where to start. I just looked at myself in the mirror and saw a disheveled cave man. I used to see my father but now I see something somehow even worse. That girl who sent a $1k donation just disputed the charge and I fear she’s going to win the dispute. I owe money to Verizon, the government, my bank, a girlfriend rental service in Japan I financed via PayPal, Stripe, dozens and dozens, scores even, of parking tickets all in different states, speeding tickets, toll fees, and that’s not even to mention the rapes. These past few weeks I’ve realized that I will not be able to outrun these crimes forever, everything I’ve done for this blog. Eventually one of these girls will try really hard to punish me for something—more likely a guy actually—and they will succeed. And more people will be happy than sad about it, that they finally got me, that this all finally ends. I can only hope, in that moment the blue and red lights are shining outside my door, that one of the happy people is me.

  @antonisanchezx I am not surprised at all because he did the same thing to me when I was going through Cancer treatment and had a fundraiser. They all contacted GoFundMe and said that I was faking having cancer and GoFundMe took it down. What’s wonderful is the response since her Venmo was interfered with… let’s keep sharing her PayPal info!

  @BoyGeorge @billboard There's an issue I tried several times. The link takes you to PayPal under somebody else's account and I cannot login with my own account. You have to put in a different link, not associated with anyone else else's PayPal account.

  Elon Musk had already made $200 million and was burning through it to keep three companies alive. He explained exactly how in a 45-minute closed-door talk at Stanford in 2003. The recording is on YouTube. Almost no founder has watched it in a decade. Today Musk is worth roughly $400 billion. That is a 2,000x personal net worth increase in twenty-two years. The talk in this video is Musk explaining, from age 32, exactly how he intended to survive the next few years long enough to make it happen. At the time he had three companies. Zip2 had already been sold to Compaq for $307 million. PayPal had just been sold to eBay for $1.5 billion. SpaceX was one year old and burning cash. He was worth roughly $200 million and had just committed the majority of it to keeping SpaceX alive. The 2003 Stanford Entrepreneurship Corner recording is 45 minutes. Musk covers his framework in four parts. Find direction. Do not build what you think other people want. Build what you would use yourself. Everything else is a market research problem, and market research is almost never how new markets are found. Control costs. Do the physics. Every SpaceX component was priced against the raw material cost of its inputs. If the ratio was more than three, he built it in-house instead of buying it. Stay alive. In a war of attrition the last money left in the account wins. When PayPal was near zero he stopped taking a salary, refused strategic investors who wanted control, and cut every discretionary line item to zero. Break down problems with first principles. Do not reason by analogy. Do not defer to what an industry currently believes. Rebuild the problem from the physical constraints and see what falls out. "When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor." That is Musk in a 2013 interview repeating a line he first used in the Stanford talk ten years earlier. It has been quoted in almost every founder biography since. Every top-selling startup book of the last two decades borrows from this framework. The recording is free. The books are not. Almost every founder on X quotes Musk while running their company on the opposite of what he taught in this room. The talk is free. The four rules fit on a napkin. The willingness to actually do the physics on a business you are running instead of another pitch deck is a much rarer commodity than the framework itself.

  At the events we would take PayPal payments on my boss's phone. I had asked her several times over the years to add me as a PayPal contact because occasionally we would have connection issues due to the venue buildings or whatever and she wouldn't always be available to talk to them cuz she was coaching. Overall, she was a bit spacey and not very tech savvy like I've always been but I knew at some point this would be an issue. During covid, when we had a lot of events cancel and after doing my taxes, in my preparedness tendencies, I had the idea to put her SS# from my 1099 into my locked note app along with my family's info just in case we had another PayPal connection issue ever come up and they would ask for it for confirmation. Then I pretty much forgot about it.

  PayPal is putting explicit revenue targets on its three core units as new CEO Enrique Lores reviews the company’s strategy and pushes for faster execution. In April the payments firm reorganized around Checkout Solutions and PayPal, Consumer Financial Services and Venmo, and Payment Services and Crypto, with a single leader for each business to cut duplication and speed decisions. Lores said the goal is to sharpen focus, simplify operations and get closer to consumers after years of slower growth and margin pressure. The company has also set a cost savings target of at least 1.5 billion dollars over the next two to three years through AI, process redesign and structural realignment, with the savings reinvested into growth initiatives. For 2026 management is guiding to transaction margin dollars roughly flat to slightly down excluding interest, 3 percent growth in non transaction operating expenses, and non GAAP EPS in a range between slightly negative and slightly positive. The reset comes as PayPal tries to diversify beyond its traditional checkout business and rebuild momentum in higher margin areas. In Q1 2026 revenue rose 7 percent to 8.35 billion dollars and total payment volume grew 11 percent to 464 billion dollars, with Venmo and Braintree both delivering mid teens TPV growth and buy now pay later and pay with Venmo volumes up 23 percent and 34 percent. Q2 showed continued strength in those same units, with transaction margin dollars up 1 percent and up 3 percent excluding interest on customer balances, prompting the company to raise its full year outlook for TM dollars and EPS. Lores is emphasizing financial services as the largest driver of future TM dollar growth, expanding Venmo into a fuller financial platform, scaling PYUSD stablecoin which is now the largest federally regulated stablecoin, and partnering in AI commerce with Microsoft and others. At the same time the company returned 1.5 billion dollars to shareholders in the quarter and started a 14 cent quarterly dividend, while warning that macro pressure in Europe and competition from Big Tech and fintechs will keep the near term environment tough. - World Business News.

  How to validate your idea with $0: 1. Find 10 strangers with the exact problem. Reddit, LinkedIn, Slack groups, X. Not friends. Strangers have no reason to be polite. 2. Ask what they're currently doing to solve it. If the answer is nothing, the problem isn't painful enough. 3. Ask what it's costing them. If they can't quantify it fast, the pain isn't real enough to build on. 4. Offer to solve it manually before you build anything. Spreadsheet, Notion, Zoom. If they say yes, you have a customer. If they say "I'll wait for the product," you have nothing yet. 5. Ask for $50 upfront toward the eventual product. Stripe link, PayPal, whatever. If they won't commit even that, the problem isn't painful enough. 6. Do it 10 more times. One is a coincidence. Three is a pattern. Ten is something to build on. The goal isn't to prove you're right. It's to find out where you're wrong before you've wasted six months.
