  @VannDough @agentlayer_ai the paypal analogy undersells it, paypal still needed a human to click confirm. agents need wallets with spend limits and revocable keys baked in, not just rails. x402 solves the sub cent problem card networks never could, a 30 cent min fee kills any agent making 1000 api calls a day.

  @Emistations @PayPal @AskPayPal I remember facing this same problem, all because someone put a message in the transaction (Yeah. Any message they put there just straight up screws your acc). I ended up having to switch to a new email and a Paypal Business acc.

  @PayPal @Mastercard Would instantly lock you out of buying anything cause that's how PayPal works, first use would lock you out and then close your account out even if it's LEGIT cause PayPal uses AI for everything and there's number 1 major issue there, PayPay was good before AI.

  This is actually pretty good for China travel. When I was in China, the only QR code payment processors were Alipay and Weixin Pay. If the vendor accepts Alipay, there’s almost never a problem, but if the vendor only accepted Weixin Pay, there was a lot of problems getting my US financial institution to approve the transaction. So I would either have to use cash or switch to a credit card if Weixin Pay wasn’t working. So PayPal being allowed to be used in China will reduce a lot of headache for foreign travelers. Though you absolutely should set up a WeChat account prior to travel for more efficient communication with Chinese contacts.

  CBS filmed a 27-year-old Elon Musk sleeping in his office in 1998 and 18 months later he sold the company for $307M Rita Braver brings a Sunday Morning crew to Palo Alto. Bad haircut. Cheap suit. He shows them the couch he sleeps on and the YMCA down the street where he showers. The company is Zip2. Maps, directions, yellow pages, white pages - the first versions of all of it on the internet, sold to newspapers that still print on paper. He wrote the code himself in 1995, at 23, weeks after walking out of a Stanford PhD. No web server, because a web server burns CPU he doesn't have. He reads port 8080 directly. No money for a Cisco T1 router. He pulls the spec sheet and writes his own emulator. Braver asks him about the internet. He calls it the superset of all media. Says television, print and radio all collapse into one pipe. Two-way. On demand. Whatever you want, whenever you want it. In 1998, that sounds like a kid who read too many magazines. The segment airs. The tape goes in a box. 1999: Compaq buys Zip2 for $307M . His cut is about $22M . He doesn't buy a house. He puts it into Xcom. Xcom becomes PayPal. PayPal becomes the money that starts SpaceX and Tesla. 26 years later somebody uploads the tape to YouTube. 23,000 views. The odd part isn't that he was right about the internet. It's that nobody in that room believed him, and it cost him 0 seconds. He wasn't predicting the future. He was describing his own desk.

  @survivetheark How to fix Ark and why: (only part of the full list) I’ll do top 3 atm stopping players especially new ones from playing because Ark is on its way to DEAD. This is for PvP side 1) Turrets the work ratio to turret and bullet production is drastically more than a capped saddle high health stacked mutated soaker. Meaning it takes a week to farm what it takes a few hours to soak no cool.😎 This leads to people living in caves regardless of x6 damage NO LAND bases RAT 🐀 HOLES or MESH people just drop a stego on you beer rocket 🚀 the gen on land GG… No new players are going to play like this. 2) Mutations so because you are all retarded you left it the same as evolved. Let me explain the way it’s supposed to work and what has happened. Mutations are 0/20 on both sides meaning it was intended to get +40 levels this is a problem because a perfect tame is 224 unless you do a trick with the new sea turtle and can get a 225 everytime I see a 225 a game master dummy spawned it most likely because typically 224 is really the max. So you breed 2 224 together you get a 250-270 depending on stats let’s say that’s actually a really great start. Not you mutate max should be 300ish average plus of course you levels max Dino 370-380 depending on those stats that 70-80 away from 450 max so basically there should be no way to get max which in itself is dumb as hell. So what do you do your team leave in mutation stacking what’s that you say that’s where you breed a male with mutations with any female that has 0/20 0/20 also called an 00 female. This allows stacking indefinitely…. Super retarded stops any new players from competing I can give all the reasons why but you have to hire me first. This leads to guess what DINO PURCHASE via PayPal cash etc money your team isn’t getting 🤦 what retards in leadership. So yeah because of this people buy Dino duh 🙄 dummies that’s now literally the only way to play PvP ask anyone with a brain 🧠. 3) so because of both 1 and 2 above new players cannot run the bosses you can’t survive, alphas are in the caves, and they have Dino’s they bought or have survived for so long they raided got the Dino using Dino they bought. So guess what? Players pay for boss runs. No I ask you does this sound like ******* fun? Any yes 👍 I have done all of this been the alpha bought/sold the Dino, fixed mutations by going out to tame a low level 00female, yes I am a pro. I can tell you any casual player will leave, and even hardcore will leave. All that’s left is bought Dino meshing and impossible wall of entry if you want to play fully legit.

  @robertoblake The main problem I see with data centers, especially in the New York and New Jersey area where I live, is the aging infrastructure. It needs significant upgrades. Even the massive amounts of money these data centers are spending are not enough to cover the costs, so they keep raising bills because the grid is deteriorating. To explain how fragile the system is, consider this: I live in New York City and own an electric vehicle. I actually get paid to charge my car at night. It is not only free, but my electric company pays me to do it, and they pay me even more during the summer. This is managed through a global company that tracks when I charge my car. If I charge at home at night, they pay me through an app via PayPal. They do this simply to prevent me from overloading the grid. That is how fragile the system is. When someone builds a data center alongside all these new EV charging stations, everything becomes more expensive because the grid is too old and requires upgrades. Meanwhile, between electric vehicles, charging stations, and everyone adding split-system air conditioning to their homes, we have more electronic devices running 24/7. It is too much constant draw. The electricity costs increase, but the infrastructure is aging faster than it can be upgraded. Even gas stations now have giant, power-hungry LED boards. Everything is adding up on a grid that was never built for this kind of load. It feels like they are taking this massive burden and saying, "Look, everybody has to pay for it." My main thought is that data centers should generate their own electricity. Other than that, you are mostly right. It is a bunch of BS.

  @panley01 the issue is usually that PayPal hates anything remotely nsfw, not just doing business if you hit manual review they'll want to look at where the payments are coming from and see your accounts

  IMPORTANT PSA: Tipping Through Streamelements can get you doxed if the person you are tipping has their Setting toggled off (which I think it is by default) which says Tippers may edit their username. If they have it where tippers may not edit their username and then must use only their paypal credentials, then the streamer being tipped will see your full name. Thankfully, I have trustworthy friendos and I found this out after tipping. We didn't know it was a streamer setting issue, we thought it was on the tippers end. Thought I'd get the info out to all the peeps taking tips through streamelements. Below is an image of where to find that setting.

  @PayPal can shut down for all I care, PayPal has been nothing but a pain in my rear for LEGIT use. Shut down my old account cause I linked (MY OWN ACTION) a LEGIT service up to it and now is giving me HECK on my new account. About ready to say SCREW IT and go to Vemno. DO BETTER!

  The best decision PayPal ever made came out of a clash between its leaders. Max Levchin wanted to build security software for Palm Pilots.  Peter Thiel saw limited market potential and pushed back hard.  Neither softened the message. Neither backed down easily. Out of that collision came a pivot to sending money over email that led to a $1.5 billion acquisition by eBay. Reid Hoffman described the culture simply: "We had a culture of arguing to improve the idea. It wasn't personal. It was about making the best product possible." That's the model. Fight for your position, stay open to being wrong, and let the best idea win. When talented people argue honestly toward the truth, great things get built.

  @Rootdar This fake PayPal address scammer issue is a problem for everyone. But your PP address is one of the easiest ones to remember and to get right! 🙏 On a separate subject, I think my grandmother story and reposts got in this morning ahead of the end of the contest.
