香港旅行から3ヶ月たったのでoctopus解約！
3ヶ月以上経つと手数料かからないと聞いて🤔
支払ったカードに返済されるそうな。
8週間かかるとな、いいけど。

You realize what this means!?
Stripe just gave you a new way to create generational wealth.
They invented an entirely new marketplace.
Agents will be spending millions, and eventually billions of dollars for individuals and corporations.
The marketpalce is empty right now.
IT IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING.
Build a service as a software ( YES SAAS V2 ), make it so that agents can use and spend on your platform.
WIN WIN WIN.
WAAAAAAKE UPPPPP.
Stripe@stripe
Today, we’re launching the @link wallet for agents. It lets you securely empower agents to spend on your behalf. Your payment credentials are never exposed and you approve every purchase. link.com/agents

@levelsio How? You can’t even edit a Google Sheet with Claude Cowork.

Update after 2 months, I think Anthropic succesfully killed OpenClaw
Back then I said:
"The real power user for OpenClaw has become my gf who I put it in a group chat with me, her and OpenClaw, she's mostly stopped using ChatGPT etc and now only uses AI over Telegram with OpenClaw, it's much more user friendly for her in Telegram iOS than ChatGPT's own app"
Since I switched it to OpenAI API my gf has since slowly stopped using it and switched back to the Claude app and now uses Projects she says
So from my n=1, Anthropic successfully killed OpenClaw

I've ran OpenClaw for over a month now I've had it in a group chat with 26 friends who all played with it, tried to hack it, made a pretty cool game with it which it kept self improving called lobsterswim.com, also tried to make it make its own money with its own crypto wallet, all quite impressive but not really useful so much The real power user for OpenClaw became my gf who I put it in a group chat with me, her and OpenClaw, she's mostly stopped using ChatGPT etc and now only uses AI over Telegram with OpenClaw, it's much more user friendly for her in Telegram iOS than ChatGPT's own app Also it helps I am in there so I stay up to date on things, she uses Nano Banana Pro a lot too so that's enabled too Of course then my 26 friends in the group chat hacked it so it leaked info my gf told OpenClaw So then I made a second isolated VPS with just an OpenClaw for her and me, safer Essentially 99% of the purpose of OpenClaw for her at least is that it's just a really good implementation of an LLM app over Telegram in our native chat interface All the other stuff isn't important and she doesn't use that and I don't use it One thing I like is it sends me some briefings of X mentions and a Hacker News digest But to be honest any more of this background push stuff would become annoying to me, unless it'd be really superintelligent and I don't think it is yet Think autonomous messages like "ok you have to see this I analyzed your servers for this thing and there's a security problem" or smth but fully autonomous you know? Now it feels like you kinda have to tell it to do stuff even if it does it the 12h later or daily or with a heartbeat So yes TL;DR just the best LLM experience on Telegram now, better than the LLM apps, also helps it just is a continous convo going on forever

@ruima You never tipped? You simply won’t get the best out of Hong Kong without tipping.

Used an ATM for the first time in many months in Hong Kong yesterday!
It's not like the mainland at all, and I'm really glad I picked Morgan Stanley Shanghai over Hong Kong back in 2007 after talking to mentors who even then told me the two markets are pretty separate. But it's set up so you could be the bridge between East and West if you really want to. More local companies seem to be exploring how to do so, but there's some work involved.

Urban public transport should never be faster. It should be cheaper and more convenient, but it should never be faster than driving. If it’s faster than driving then the city must has terrible road planning. Most cities in China mimic Soviet or later New York style grid style road planning. Wide road with 10 lanes etc. Just plain stupid.
English
In Beijing, public transportation, such as subway or BRT, is a good choice.😃😃
Actually, in big cities in China, public transportation is faster.

@CleansedTweets Quite amazed that they are willing to take such KYC/AML burden for accounts with no minimum relationship balance.

OK, I am re-sharing this post - awkward. But there are too many questions to field. I hope those who asked them see this. To be clear:
1) You must turn on your phones geo location to prove you are in Hong Kong. No need to go to the bank.
2) Once in HK you can complete the application online through the HSBC app.
3) The Standard account has no minimum balance requirement. My account current has 70 pound in it.
4) The card they send you - they will send to ANYWHERE in the world by recorded post. I have two addresses, Bangkok and mainland China. I chose to receive the cards in mainland China.
5) The red card featured in the picture is UNION PAY. The other card is MASTERCARD.
6) I provided NO documents to prove my employment. Only proof of address (a utility bill).
7) I did provide a TIN number (tax) - thats it.
8) The application took around 3 or 4 minutes.
9) The app approved me and my accounts were immediately accessible.
10) I transfer 100 pound to it from Thailand.
11) I got my card days later.
12) I went to the ATM today and withdraw 30 pound (300 RMB) as a test.
13) The following country passport holders can go to HK and get this bank account as I did:
Eligible PassportsAustralia
Belgium
Canada
India
Ireland
Italy
Jersey
Mexico
Philippines
Singapore
South Africa
Taiwan
United Kingdom
United States of America
Vietnam
14) The all countries not on the list, can get the Standard bank account as I have gotten, but you need to visit a branch to do the online application with them.

How easy is it to get a tax-free gains HSBC Hong Kong bank account if you are NOT a resident? It turns out it's VERY easy. 1) Be in Hong Kong 2) Download the HSBC HK app 3) Submit your passport and address 4) Verify your face 5) Your cards arrive 5 days later (sent to Mainland China for me) *no bank visit. No documents submitted. Just proof of address. Yes yes, my nails need replacing 🧐😒

@vincent_koc Does the gateway issues has been fixed? Please someone can confirm this.

@pretentiouswhat No where in that Chinese link was “treated to potable standard at the point of supply” ever mentioned.
English
The Shanghai Municipal Health Commission states that the city treats municipal water to potable standards at the point of supply (see Chinese link below). But it still advises boiling water due to risks from building‑level pipes and storage tanks, not weakness in Shanghai’s core water infrastructure. I live in a 20yr‑old building myself, so I boil, although I have no idea if it's actually necessary. I guess I could get a test kit. Maybe that would be interesting.
But anyway, collapsing that into “You can't even drink the tap water in Shanghai” is a bad‑faith dunk in response to a claim about Shanghai’s public infrastructure. That shifts the goalposts from municipal systems to building-level distribution piping...which is not the same thing.
More broadly, SH is hardly unique in having potential issues with old distribution piping. What is unique is how explicit and conservative SH is in its public‑health guidance to households about it. The potential for downstream contamination of drinking water logically exists in any large city. Perhaps people elsewhere who drink water straight from the taps because municipal authorities say it's ok might want to consider how old the pipes in their buildings are...🙃

@chrisalbon China Immigration and Customs also have a pre-clearance floor at the high speed railway station in Hong Kong.

It is wild there is an entire US terminal in Dublin airport where you pass through US customs *before* boarding the flight to the US.

They used to be super visitor friendly before 2015, or should I say they used to function just like every other country before then. Shops used to accept visa/mastercard/amex, and no “must register via WeChat first” bullshit. Wanna buy a ticket to enter a place, just swipe the card. Wanna exit a train station, just walk out. They have eliminated all that since 2015 when mobile internet took off. Now every mandune activity requires some combination of WeChat + sms + QR code + facial recognition + ID verification.

@kjoules Businesses still using these (apparently lots of them in Hong Kong) will be wiped out within the next few years.

There were 8,621 fewer fax lines in Hong Kong at the end of 2025 compared to the year prior, to 71,814 lines, a 10.72% decrease, via Office of the Communications Authority
• Since 2002, the annual decay rate of fax lines is 8.45%; at that rate there will be no fax lines by 2144

@MrLeadslinger A plate with California rolls? Good luck finding those

Hey Japan, roughly how much would it cost to get a sushi plate like this there?
Cost here is equivalent to 4,765 yen.

He can cosplay as “pro-China” all he wants.
The second he says “Wuhan virus” instead of COVID-19, the mask slips.
That phrase is not science.
It is racialized propaganda for people who want their prejudice to sound like plain speech.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times. I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible. But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.
English
Everyone I know uses 洗手間 when speaking Cantonese, or “toilet” / “bathroom” / “washroom” when speaking English. I have very rarely heard “lavatories” or “loo” though which sounds better to me. 廁所 is definitely a no unless you are among very close friends who want to sound a bit more grassroots between each other.
