  Tumbly💕 L2d Rigger + Model Artist (@TumblysArt) reported 4 minutes ago

  Btw all I could do about this was submit a DMCA request to get them to remove my art as the profile picture. Hopefully this at least makes it a lot easier to tell this is an impersonator. I have no idea how this person was able to get this name, as I had just made an account named "@/TumblysArt" in March to stop this sort of thing from happening. they will not give me answers on how this happened. Discord is closing/autoreplying to all of my report requests and emails, despite this scammer also causing legal issues when contacting my larger clients. - They believe this person is an authorized party involved in their NDA, and disclose information they otherwise would and legally should not because they sometimes ask about previous projects as a way to build trust. - Then they attempt to start a new project and acquire a down payment - last time this occurred they almost got a payment of $800 sent to them. The person ONLY contacted me directly on x after they saw the paypal was a male name and not based in the US. I see the info has been removed after the DMCA request, but I have no confirmation they are still not impersonating me or in contact with anyone. It's not a huge deal at this point, but I mean I am a little disgusted that it seems borderline impossible to contact discord support and have a real human look at your request.

  Chrome extension "Cashback Master" went 40K → 100K users in 5 weeks. +150%. Buyhatke, same niche: 900K → 1M. Same window, the giant sprang a leak — Honey (PayPal): 13M → 12M. Down a million. Users leaking from the top are getting caught, cup by cup, by the small tools below. When the biggest player in a niche starts slipping: entry signal, or red flag?

  @ChrisLancasterX Content of the DMs are exactly to script. Bot replies, then taken over by a human if they get a bite. As reports are broken, play harder. Engage. get the PayPal. Then report with a full case. Use id number to trace name changing. if you get enough info report to the $ transfer.

  Elon Musk makes the impossible possible. Having earned $250 million from the sale of PayPal, he put his money on the line once again. One of his projects was a $70 million investment in Tesla. He also sought additional funding from Michael Moritz, one of the world's largest venture capitalists, who turned him down, explaining, "we're not going to compete against Toyota," and the entire Tesla concept was "mission impossible." Currently, Tesla's market capitalization is $1.4 trillion, while Toyota's is only $213 billion. What Elon does often seems impossible, but many overlook the fact that he almost always delivers what was once considered impossible. Tesla's example illustrates the most important thing to know about Elon: the scale of achievements is always incredible when he sets his mind to it.

  I’ve held for some time that PayPal is an ideally situated asset for a number of payments and fintech companies interested in adding to their portfolio. The Stripe/Advent offer substantiated this but at far too low a price. The board should reject and offer below $80 a share for PayPal. Unique stablecoin asset in a market growing at >60% p.a, huge network of users and growing payments, solid financials and no balance sheet problems to take on. My bet is that Stripe is not the last bidder in the next few months.

  Peter Thiel on what he doesn’t like about the Lean Startup Thiel believes there are merits to the Lean Startup, but he thinks founders today may have over-indexed on it: “I do think we tend to be dominated by a somewhat nihilistic bias where we claim not to know anything. And when you don’t know anything, you end up defaulting too much to the experimental search, A/B testing approach of ‘Let’s ask the customers.’ And I would say the problem with that is that the search space is simply way too big.” In practice, Thiel argues for a more definite view of the future: “This is an important problem that needs to be solved, and this is the set of things we have to combine in just this way to do it.” To be fair, Steve Blank—who pioneered the Lean Startup methodology—isn’t necessarily against this approach. Blank just recommends treating your assumptions as “a series of untested hypotheses.” But there’s clearly a balance between having a definite view of the future and rigorously trying to disprove your assumptions. As Thiel explains, many of the PayPal founding team’s initial assumptions were wrong: “At PayPal, our original business plan was to have payments on Palm Pilots, then it was wireless payments, then it was payments linked to email. So we had a few fairly big pivots in the first year. I’m not sure there’s anything especially virtuous about that — if you have a dumb idea, it’s important to change it — but it’s not virtuous to have a really bad idea in the first place.” Source: @OxfordSBS (May 2015)

  I hate this tactic for promoting merch. I can't be the only one that's like fuckfuckfuck gotta get it now or it'll be gone. Plus isn't it convenient that suddenly you have issues with your Internet or PayPal at checkout and by the time you figure it out the item is gone.

  @arana_grabber I ordered a Gangle keychain and the delivery service straight up lost it but didn't tell me... Luckily I was able to get a refund through PayPal. The people delivering their merch are terrible.
