  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.

  @Cal_I_Guess No option to add Paypal. The only reliable way is buying giftcards which only come in 1k,2k,3k etc. if i wanna buy a game thats 599 i gotta pay an extra 400 to get a 1000 rupee gift card and only use half on the digital purchase. Not the case with physical. Unless they fix this+

  @meetedzenebubu honestly the bigger issue isn't paypal specifically, it's betting everything on one platform at all, stripe has its own version of these problems too. we route across a couple processors using paymentkit instead of picking one "winner," keeps things running regardless of which one has a bad week.

  I know many people are still shocked over the growing evidence that Jason Schreier likely exaggerated or perhaps even manufactured the Blizzard incidents. Guesses on motivations for why he did so differ but most speculate he’s "paving a way" - possibly allowing people he is friends with...or part of the same clique with...to take over jobs and leadership positions in Blizzard. If it turns out to be true then I want to assure you, NONE of this is new. These cliques have done this for over a decade now, and to show you a taste of what I mean, I will refer to you a little incident called "Game_Jam" 2014 Essentially, it was a high-profile and hyped Reality show where Game devs developed a game live. It was big, it was well prepped. It failed HARD. It got destroyed before it even had a chance to get off the ground. Now why did that happen? Well around the time of the event, Games Journalists started to make a whole bunch of coordinated very negative pieces on the Gamejam, a lot of blatant exaggerations of issues that made the show look like a disaster. Back then, most people didn't know that Games Journalists enjoyed lying, so they took these articles at face value. Hype for the show was destroyed and the show was cancelled. Again, why would that happen? Well it turns out, within the SAME DAY - a NEW Game Jam website got created, called "Rebel Game Jam". The "Rebel Game Jam", was run by someone that goes by the Initials ZQ. The website had links to "donations", and these donations, go directly to this ZQ's personal paypal account. Coincidence? To me its not. It turns out, ZQ has been shown to be quite good friends with many Games Journalists, many of them frequently write positive press about her and her single "game". Some of the games Journalists even actively donated to her Patreon. That's how much of a "good friend" they were with this ZQ. So again, don't be shocked if the theory that "Games Journalists like Jason Schreier exaggerated or manufactured horrible stories about Blizzard leadership so they get kicked out of the Company, ripe for replacement by their friends” turns out to be true. Always keep and eye out, do not trust Game Journalists. When they write something or do something - always ask yourself "who are they backing? What do theu actually want?” Am I being ******? Probably. Should you still watch out even if I am? Yes.

  I got hit with a 200 Dollers PayPal lien by a US client 🤯 Sounds scary, right? But honestly this experience reminded me of something I'll never forget entire my life Hear me out guys Few weeks ago , I started working with a new client and the biggest issue what we are facing wasn't the work Yes yess you heard me right It was communication So the client was not very active , so we couldn't discuss feedback properly. Because of that, video revisions kept getting delayed, deadlines started slipping, and eventually our contract was canceled.🥲 To make things worse, I got a $200 PayPal lien. At that moment, I could not blamed the client. Or neither I just walked away Instead, I reached out. I explained my side of the story, listened to theirs, and gave them time to think And then .. Something completely unexpected happened. They finally removed the $200 PayPal lien So the lesson is : Not every problem needs a fight. Sometimes, it just needs a conversation ✨

  @AskPayPal @EyoladeAbass In other words, don’t expect the issue to ever be resolved because their help center isn’t monitored by human beings and they engage in fraud.

  @PayPal Geez? Its already been 3 years?! I know its the stablecoin I prefer most. Mainly because you don't charge to buy and sell. But hey, why is the app so bogged down & glitch? Love the black screen (finally) & I have seen a few problems since the change.

  No way this is real... This chick seriously turned down a man, regardless of how much money he has in that account, because he banks with Chime? This is like saying "If you don't put the money in my hands instead of using Cashapp/Zelle/PayPal, I'm done with you forever" Wow.

  @lalafellian Yeah I mean maybe if you installed from steam initially it won't be an issue, but since I directly got the ft from sqex and then bought it off of steam bcs mogstation doesn't accept PayPal, I had to reinstall everything on top of having to redo my controller schematics

  @BowTiedKong I think banking regulations mandate the involvement of some physical clearing houses for an "online" transfer Why not just use ravens to transfer the funds? Another issue is PayPal holding people's funds hostage whenever they feel like it, apparently

  @PyroPupCenter @ZillaVader The best thing that anyone can do at this point is if you’ve already purchased any of the figures, challenge the purchase with your bank, PayPal, etc.. Novel Horizons cannot issue refunds for anyone.

  I am ready stressed right now. My bank account is really low and I had alot of unexpected charges come in this month and more are coming. If you can possibly donate a few dollars to my Paypal I would really appreciate it. My time is stretched, and have been working on technical issues for two weeks. I have had to spend money on software and medical and office that have put me dangerously low in my bank account. If you can afford even a small donation, could you please send emergency funds I would be so appreciative!

  @quizzicalsystem Oh for sure, this is in no way meant as a critique of you. It's paypal & Peter Thiel that are the problem, taking advantage of ppl. Honestly, if I had the werewithal to put up w the BS I'd probably have all the links to all the crowdfunding sites

  @mdniamul0 the off-site paypal point is real, but don't assume every client-side setup misses the purchase..... many flows return to a confirmation page and fire correctly i'd compare paypal completed orders against browser purchase events first. if the gap is real, webhook/capi is the fix..... with a stable event_id so browser + server don't double count
