Don't all modern OS's have sandboxing? We don't need a full VM (eg, kernel running on virtualized hardware) and the complexity that entails, we just need Claude Code running in the sandbox. (Maybe I should be asking Claude th

Yes, if PayPal had an API to allow people to convert a username to an address, it would be much easier.

Also anyone in the US can easily recieve crypto - swap the USDC to PyUSD, and get them to send the Solana address for their PayPal account. 1234.56 of PyUSD becomes 1234.56 in your PayPal and bank account.

I have do idea about DC but I don't trust crime rate stats - a lot might be unreported. In NYC last year someone burnt someone else to death while they sat, relaxed and watched, and in a seperate incident a person died died and someone
