Automating the Search for Artificial Life with Foundation Models
1) When traveling, you can use one of your home computers as an "exit node" so you can watch Netflix, etc. abroad very easily. Much more reliable than using VPNs which can be blocked.
2) Accessing your internal network from wherever you are for Plex, Homebridge, IP cameras, or whatever.
AT&T fiber recently rolled out 5 gigs in San Francisco and as far as I can tell, Steam is the only service that can saturate it. That’s after buying a 10 gig $100 network card and a $200 router which only has 2 10 gig ports.
It’s going to be a few years before >1 gig internet is commonly supported.

When a Starcraft AI is ready, it will be incredibly obvious if it's using brand new builds, strategies, and tactics (which pros will immediately copy for the next $500,000 tournament) or if it's "just" using 10,000 APM to perfectly dodge attacks in a way that a human never could.
I'm guessing Google and Tencent are going for the former instead of the latter.

(at least compared to other VCs, you may still disagree with his absolute numbers)
Are you sure you weren't just looking at the $6 delivery fee and your tip would be added later?
On our side, for charities that are paid via PayPal Giving Fund, we require them to be fully onboarded. For our "choose your own charity" feature, which lets you customize which charity you are supporting, we only allow our customers to choose charities that are fully registered with PPGF. You can verify this by noting that we only support a fraction of the charities listed on PPGF.
Why use PPGF (or Tides.org, our backup) in the first place? There are regulations that require you and the charity to do a fair amount of paperwork and register with various states. When you are tiny, you can probably fly under the radar, but when you are approaching $100M raised for charity, it is a good idea to be fully compliant.
PPGF is an easy way to maintain sanity, because we can focus on fully complying with every state with the PayPal Giving Fund 501(c)3. PPGF then handles maintaining compliance with the states (+ UK) on their side.
However, for this to actually legally work, the PPGF needs to retain control over the funds, hence the scary disclaimer on the site. If they didn't actually pay a charity we work with, which has never happened, we would obviously let the customer know and make it right. We will be updating the disclaimer next week to be less opaque.
