I shudder when I hear Braintree

There are a thousand of exchanges that have no risk on my life, but that doesn’t mean they don’t impact others.

My dad pushed me to play a sport I despised. Hated it from when I was young all the way to my last games.

But thank god he did. Changed my life completely. As a mediocre student, I could pick any school I wanted.

Love my dad, and he knew what was best. Even if I hated playing, it was all worth it.

Parents should set their kids up for success, and parents do know best - even if that means upsetting your child.

There’s a difference between what someone wants and what’s best for someone - and during my teens, I had that mixed up.

Prioritization isn’t always black and white.

These qualitative factors matter and shouldn’t be ignored. As always, you weight it against other trade offs.

These new wallets are all to compete with Apple and Google Pay.

The only information paypal is sharing is name and shipping address. We’re aren’t talking significant data here.

His choice to set sail for the New World on August 2, 1492, the exact date ordained for the expulsion of Jews from Spain does suggest he may have not converted yet.

Further, It's also known that the family profession was weaving, a traditionally Jewish profession at the time and that Jewish given names like Abraham and Jacob were common in the family of Columbus' mother.

One of the hypothesis from the dna analysis says:

> hypothesis proposes that Columbus was a Jew from the Mediterranean port city of Valencia. His obscure early life, according to this theory, can be explained by the fact that he sought to hide his Jewish background to avoid persecution by the fervently Catholic Spanish monarchs.

500 years later after multi-year dna study, we now have the information and it paints a very fascinating picture. He left Spain in August, the same week that Jews were kicked out. This explains why he left Spain. He was known as a catholic, but it’s now clear this was due most likely due to forced conversion.

History is important, and this is a significant dna study that sheds light on the legacy of a key figure.

This must be related to their new product - Fastlane.

Fastlane is an express checkout product, similar to ShopPay. Even if you have never used a website, you authenticate with OTP and all your information (Address & Payment Methods) is available.

Originally, merchants could not use this data to make customer accounts. This was not ideal for us merchants as there was no method to login to track your order information.

PayPal came to me this week saying they were updating their legal agreement to allow merchants to create customer accounts.

(Express checkout options will soon be everywhere - Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, Zelle/Paze are all competing in this space now)

Liability is on the receiving or the originator institution. But in practice, it depends on the contract with the “processor”. Many Pay By Bank “processors” offer a guarantee model to cover these returns. Otherwise, liability is typically on the merchant.

However, Nacha is beginning to iterate on their return codes to better fit the e-commerce use case and clearly define liability.

A2A / Pay By Bank is a growing payment method.

Merchants will begin incentivizing it due to the cheaper costs relative to cards.

We’ve implemented it and I’ve presented to the largest websites in the world about the opportunity as we are one of the early adopters.

You’ll start to see it much more frequently.

Advocating to cap the fee they are charged for a service is restaurants having their cake and eating it too.

Overall, DoorDash/Grubhub have been a net positive for these businesses.

To hire a manage a delivery driver workforce, staff enough drivers to ensure reasonable service levels, manage an online ecommerce storefront, and market their business is very expensive.

If the fee is too high, they can just turn off the service. There’s a reason why they don’t simply turn it off. The value is reciprocated.

Not sure what you mean by this?

Even so, it’s not about perfect immersion. It’s about having the best view of the game sitting from home.

Does anyone have recommendations for a tool that does it?

Or, anyone want to build it together?

What I’m most excited about is to see what people do with the UX.

We are no longer confined to windows that scroll up, down, left, and right.

Application’s now have depth, and the spatial concept will mean the way we view and interact with applications will change completely.

I’m very excited for this.

I read The Road and I was astounded. Still have yet to read another book I’ve liked as much, but at least he got me reading to find it!

It never hit 12k, but my target was always 17k, which it did hit. I publicly told many people who asked when it was around 50k to wait for 17k.

Simple analysis made this quite clear - The last three crashes had an 85% drop in price, based on the trend, 17k was the target.

I don’t see it going to 5k, to this point, the crash has followed historical precedent - going to 5k would not follow historical precedent.

Guess we’ll find out, one of us will be wrong.

Company is mid-size. Not a startup. Decently established.

Whether it’s socially, politically, or from a business knowledge standpoint - Any advice on things to do or things to avoid?

Thanks
