If you have a non-artificially-limited android phone (i.e. rooted), you can just open a hotspot with everything going thru your wireguard vpn back to home.
If you have stock android or IOS, then the real owners of your device won't allow you do this, since they get location data from your network on all those devices.
I assumed stripe founders had offline business experience before stripe :) Online maybe increase it a little more and make it more risky to the business because of "card not present". But hardly new to online.
There's also a lot of false positives if you verify too much on data brokers, as you just mentioned you do, instead of talking to the issuing institution on fears of chargeback and rate hikes.
But given their high frequency trading industry, I secretly hope a competitor abuse his code base with a 2^30 priced bid or something and his company go bust.
> nothing in the article that supports the claim that Altman has been "fired".
it's worse. The article say he invested in companies he was being paid to evaluate for YC, perfect reason to end an exec career. And then was NOT fired.
Who would you prefer, a sensible, technical, honest CEO driving real efforts or this media circus? There might be a dime a dozen AI startups doing more science based innovation instead of this moore-law-llm. But they don't have the media attention, so their offices are probably empty.
(btw, IMHO i think all of this board non-sense is planned PR, by the company or Sam, which might have gotten out of hand)
PS: The only thing people should be talking from that article is the only fact. That he was hired by YC to vet startups, and instead invested in them from his brother fund. Yet, here we are, talking about everything but it.
