  @JoelHodlman It's just me begging for CTV because that's really what it comes down to I can't afford to donate enough money to core devs to push it through but once I have it I know I can build a payment system that destroys PayPal

  You can guess what students did on that final Tuesday. Fast forward to the end of the semester: I still hadn't seen any documentation or user manual, and it was due on exam day (the first day of finals week). A week before the deadline, they told me I'd have it before our 12 PM meeting on study day (Wednesday). I got the email at 11 PM Tuesday after work. I opened the files, got pissed, shut my laptop, played some Xbox, and passed out before midnight. The technical documentation was just one page with almost nothing useful—no database schema, website languages, PayPal details, or registered emails. Just the URL and some unimportant info taking up half a page. The user manual was one and a half pages with maybe five sentences and three pictures with arrows. Zero real explanation on how to use the site.I showed up at 12 PM and waited about five minutes. No one else was there, so I texted the group. No replies. I started fixing the user manual since I'd clearly have to redo it. While working quietly, Damien finally walked in. D: "Did you get the docs?" Me: "Yeah. You guys really think this is finished?" D: "Oh yeah, it should be good to turn in." Me: "I don't know. I think we should add more—this is for our client, and she won't understand it. Where are Jeff and Kirk?" D: "Hahaha, we all got messed up last night after finishing the docs. They're probably still passed out. I'm turning it in tomorrow. If you want to add anything, go ahead, but whatever I have is going in. I think it's ready, so I'm not doing more. I have other classes to study for. I already have an A in this class, and Kirk and Jeff do too, so they don't care."He said the magic words, then left with a flash drive. I went straight upstairs and told Professor Matt everything. I said I didn't want to leave my client hanging—yes, my client, not ours. Matt said he fully understood and even praised me for staying on top of it and protecting the client's experience with our students. He asked why. I told him, "What you're getting tomorrow for 'our' project is completely unacceptable. It's unfair to us and especially to our client." I showed him the website (which he liked) and the terrible docs. I asked for an extra week to finish proper documentation and a user guide—I had a clear plan. Matt agreed, but told me to forget the docs since I knew the site. Just focus on the client .So I created video tutorials with narration, drove to her shop to demonstrate everything and show her where the videos were. I even built a simple desktop program with buttons that opened the exact video she needed, so she wouldn't have to hunt through folders. I gave her my contact info and said I'd be around over the summer if she needed help with the site or anything else. Afterward, I updated Matt, who had his own update. He nearly failed the rest of the group because they slid an unmarked USB under his door. He only accepted it after they emailed to confirm he got it. Matt also called the client, who confirmed I was the only one who ever showed up to meetings. As a result, anyone in my group who had an A going into the project dropped to a C. Anyone with a B failed. Damien's GPA took a hit from this four-hour class. Kirk and Jeff both failed—Jeff couldn't graduate, and Kirk had to retake it next semester. My grade, which was an 84 before the project, jumped to an A. The next year, Damien asked how I did because he was confused about his own final grade. I just said I did fine and got an A. He still has no idea why. Don't mess with me and my grades, and I won't mess with you.

  From my co-copywrite holder’s public posts, he has closed down Patreon, and has been suspended by PayPal when attempting to provide refunds. The above step is to provide coverage for thoes members, if requested, to retain a copy of the game.

  “I made so many mistakes at the beginning of Tesla, almost every decision we made was wrong.” - Elon Musk At PayPal, whenever they had to choose between two equally appealing decisions, they just picked one and moved on instead of debating it. Most times they would choose the suboptimal version, but they moved on with speed. It is ok to make wrong decisions to start, but it is important to fix what you did wrong and adapt to reality.

  Potshopscape website shows PayPal link of my uncle Ari. That's the original Multiscape website. Onebip was mine. Fortumo was used in Counter-Strike 1.6. Goldfarming with my uncle Ari involved a home server in Ari's cabinet and VPS.

  @jordanbpeterson Hopefully the stupid people that think it's bad that Elon Musk became a Trillionaire never gain real power. Think about it, would the world really be a better place if Elon just took the money he made on PayPal and spent the rest of his life a beach somewhere so he wouldn't become a Billionaire or Trillionaire? That is such utter nonsense. Fortunately he wasn't done living and inventing, and instead gambled everything to start Space X, and then Tesla. Either of these companies could have broken Musk, success was not guaranteed. Instead each of these companies changed the world, making it better for everyone. The freedom to succeed to one's potential is one of the things that makes America great.

  @DerekMasters05 @sugarsmorecake "built paypal," The guy who left PayPal's code base in a disgusting mess of spaghetti code and unending loops that required the dev team to essentially rebuild the entire project from scratch just to fix his dumbass mistakes.

  Stop waiting for the perfect idea. Start, test, fail, listen, and pivot. Trial and error has built empires. Instagram started as a check-in app. Slack started as a video game. Shopify started as a snowboard store. Amazon started as an online bookstore. YouTube started as a video dating concept. Flickr started as an online game. Groupon started as a collective-action platform. PayPal started with PalmPilot payments. Twitch started as a lifecasting site. Nintendo started with playing cards. Nokia started as a paper mill. Avon started with books + perfume samples. Netflix started with DVDs by mail. Your first idea is rarely the final idea. Trial and error isn’t a backup plan. It’s the path.

  Pay for a server the way the internet pays: Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and 300+ coins, alongside cards and PayPal. No international card or banking corridor required. Deploy from Lisbon or Johannesburg in about two minutes. Which would you reach for?

  On a serious note If something major happens for me I won't turn it down. I promise I'll come back back to the city of San Francisco though. I did some work for a place called tactic and they're hiring at night so I sent him a quick application I saw I on indeed. They pay you that day with PayPal. I'm having lunch. A cool time at the AI Engineers World Fair. A drop in my air head bucket. I kept wondering why the band wasn't playing. I said come on I even yelled free bird at them. And I found out it was an open mic type thing. Goofasauras comes to Moscone West. On a serious note I did give somebody a peace sign behind my back this morning too!

  Michael Burry made waves this week by announcing on his Substack that he directly shorted Micron Technology (MU) at an entry price of $1,051.87 per share. His move against Micron isn’t isolated—it is part of a broader, aggressive macro bet against the AI-fueled semiconductor boom. Just days prior, he disclosed short positions against Nvidia (NVDA), Applied Materials (AMAT), and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX), calling for a 30% correction in the sector. Burry's thesis for shorting Micron boils down to a few core arguments: 🔹Extreme Technical Overextension: He noted that Micron is currently trading further above its 200-day moving average than at any point since 1984—meaning its current extension is visually more extreme than it was at the peak of the dot-com bubble. 🔹A Brutal Cyclical History: Burry stated that "Micron defines cyclical like no other," pointing out that the company has suffered 34 separate drawdowns of more than 30% over the last 42 years. He believes the current rally is driven by FOMO, "greater fool theory," and speculative psychology rather than true underlying value. 🔹Poor Capital Efficiency: He blasted Micron's structural profitability, citing a "frankly terrible" historical median ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) of 4% and a median ROE of 7%. In his view, Micron remains a fundamental "destroyer of capital" one out of every three quarters over the long haul due to heavy, unpredictable CapEx cycles. Why Direct Shares and Not Options? Interestingly, Burry didn't buy put options this time because he felt the option premiums were too expensive due to high implied volatility. He shorted the equity directly, though he noted he may add puts later if the stock settles down and volatility cools off. While he went heavily short on chips, he simultaneously added to a handful of long value plays, including PayPal (PYPL), Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM), Zoetis (ZTS), Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac.

  I’ve been trying to link my m-Faisaa to PayPal since June 18. Despite multiple support tickets with @OoredooMaldives , nothing was resolved. The issue was simple: m-Faisaa only had 2 name fields while PayPal requires 3, causing a name mismatch. I raised it at the Finance Expo on July 2, and it was fixed within 15 minutes. Now I’m waiting for USD deposits to my personal account, while USD merchant receiving is still pending not helpful for real businesses. Poor customer support delayed a simple fix for weeks.
