Paypal and buymeacoffee.com are happily doing business with a russian platform called https://www.nullpro.ru which sells pirated themes, design resources and source codes.

The link to their buymeacoffee page is even implemented in the main menu: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/nulled

The Paypal checkout is a bit hidden and only visible to signed in users who can buy points to download pirated content. I tried to inform both Paypal and buymeacoffee.com (YCombinator Startup) about it with no reaction.

The Paypal account used is pay@neasel.com

Is someone here working at either Paypal or buymeacoffee and interested to explain why this passes their fraud filters?

It is the summer of 2014 and after having heard about Bitcoin the year before I stumble upon the active ICO of a new coin called "Ethereum".

I just finished high school and managed to save $10k, I am thinking "Hell, what if I invest $5k and hold for 5 years like one of those VCs who invest in companies?".

I slept over the decision and the next day it seemed foolish so I dismissed the thought.

Fast forward to January 2020, I read about the news of Covid on Jan. 07. and think to myself "Hell, this surely will result in some stock market disruptions". I am taking my final exams of university right around that time. I even looked up a VIX based ETF which proceeded to 5x the very next month. Of course I didn't took any action.

Same as above for the russian invasion in December 2021.

How to cope with missed opportunities like these? How to learn to take risks, as thats basically my main struggle in life in general.

My question only targets the technical aspect, how would you build a MVP for a complex project like shopify or Airbnb today?

Here you can see what they used 10 years ago: https://engineering.shopify.com/blogs/engineering/e-commerce-at-scale-inside-shopifys-tech-stack

And keep in mind, the goal is to launch as quick as possible as your next rent is due and you need to make money.

Why is there no simple dashboard app for ios that takes my json/google sheets/stripe data and displays it in a nice and simple way allowing me to create widgets like subscriber count, MRR, hours tracked etc. with a nice graph and UI. I would easily pay $10 once or $4 per month for it if it looks nice and my data gets automatically updated each time I open the app.

I know Numerics exists, which offers this features, but has a terrible UI.

I guess many people here would have expected the Boeing stock to drop in value after the news emerged that a second one of their brand new plane models fell out of the sky.

Would it have been an irresponsible financial decision to buy Put options on the day of the second crash with an expiry of 3 months hoping that at some point in the next 3 months the stock would drop a little to sell with a profit?

There exists an app which I use for mathematical modeling: http://tydligapp.com

It allows you to simply drag and drop dependent variables in multiple formulas to quickly translate real world problems into actual numbers. For example: If I buy amount x of y I can create z which can be sold for $a each. How much do I need to sell to make $b total?

Is there anything like this for mac or linux?

How do they not get blacklisted by ISPs or email providers when they query their servers thousands of times?

I am your average self-taught web developer, I am using PHP and Mysql for the backend and HTML, CSS and Javascript for the frontend.

How can I step up my technical skills? What would the Mark Zuckerberg of 2019 use in his dorm to build his social network? I guess the answer would be a lot different from the actual tech stack used in 2004.
