Overall, I’m very surprised at how little media coverage there’s been around the OpenAI / Hugging Face attack. It’s clearly one of the most important things to happen this year. #OpenAI #HuggingFace #Cybersecurity #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweetprovided.

Met a German founder this week and asked him if all the stories one reads about the challenges of startups in Germany are exaggerated. "No, they're understated." Proceeded to describe spending a full day having a 90-page investment contract read to him (mandatory under German #startups #Germany #entrepreneurship #DE

Companies selling tokens are facing massive amounts of fraud these days. Stripe Radar is getting very, very good at blocking it. #FraudPrevention #TokenSales #StripeRadar #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedintheprovidedtweet.

The @Tempo mainnet launched 93 days ago. Quick summary of the current state: • Run rate payment volume is around $3 billion. There's a long way to go, but it's cool to see real usage already emerging.

Cool release from @p0. I think this use-case (agents paying content creators for access via @mpp) will be very big. Micropayment walls haven't worked (as Clay Shirky anticipated many years ago) because of human cognitive overhead, but agents can make arbitrarily granular #Micropayments #ContentCreation #InnovativeSolutions #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

Owing to a variety of historical reasons (including, but not only, protectionist lobbying), the U.S. is the only G7 country where regulated payments companies can’t directly access government-run settlement rails. Yesterday's EO from the White House calls for that to change. #Payments #G7 #Regulation #US

Off the top of my head: • Lightning (how does it happen?) • Sleep; dreams (why do they exist?) • Glass (thermodynamics of formation) • Turbulence (when does it start?) • Morphogenesis (how does) #EverydayMysteries #ScienceCuriosities #NaturalPhenomena #Thearticledoesnotreferenceanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

I'm interested in "trapped buildings": those that couldn't be built today (because of zoning and code changes) but also can't be substantially modified or demolished (because of historic protection rules).

We just announced a large raft of improvements at @Stripe Sessions. My meta reflections: • It feels that the entire economy is replatforming right now. • Many charts at Stripe are inflecting in quite dramatic ways.
