@BigMeanInternet Reading the announcement more closely, they're only rolling out Etsy + Shopify merchants to start out with. This actually gives them a really nice PR halo since they're pushing people to small sellers, but I'm sure dropshippers will game the results to push junk.

@BigMeanInternet Not 100% sure how the incentives play out here, but I would imagine they're going to have the LLM heavily preference vendors that use Stripe to 1) keep the checkout within the app w/ a saved card and 2) benefit from some kind of revenue share with Stripe on the purchase.

@samfbiddle I usually see posts trying to do this (give kid an earned income so they can do custodial roth contributions) in much more fraudulent ways, so it’s a tiny market but not a terrible product. https://t.co/kdI1zgtwBc

@MattBruenig If we can’t raise penalties, we simply need to promote large scale collusion among mgmt side labor lawyers to raise hourly prices to exorbitant levels to encourage compliance

Sostuvimos una buena conversación con el presidente Trump con mucho respeto a nuestra relación y la soberanía; llegamos a una serie de acuerdos:

1.México reforzará la frontera norte con 10 mil elementos de la Guardia Nacional de forma inmediata, para evitar el tráfico de drogas de México a Estados Unidos, en particular fentanilo.

2.Estados Unidos se compromete a trabajar para evitar el tráfico de armas de alto poder a México.

3.Nuestros equipos empezarán a trabajar hoy mismo en dos vertientes: seguridad y comercio.

dying to hear from his coworkers - was he on PTO? Was he joining standup just to say "no blockers, all good on my end"? Did he give really good PR reviews?
