Many of the companies you are targeting probably already have HR generalists who do such events online now because of the new reality . Perhaps you should consider a pricing package where you provide the games and training for the host and make it self service for the hosts to run these events for their companies. It would be more scalable and doesn't erode any value.

Anecdata but I also saw a bunch of adults with school going children becoming sick with flu like symptoms in December & January and recovering, incidentally the kids were either mildly sick or totally fine. In hindsight I also drew the same conclusion. Perhaps covid-19 was making the rounds in the US even before we officially declared it was here.

Came here to say this. I use both and Personal Capital works better for investments than Mint and Mint for other things. I am still not satisfied with Mint Budgeting and I am currently trying YNAB. Mint sync with banks works better than all and YNAB is not intuitive to use (at least for me) . Maybe I am not the right demographic.

You will see a new Beta Source Code Contract Verifier link on that page (thats what I linked to above) , this will allow you to verify. Set the Optimized to No and Runs (Optimizer) to 0. This is how I got my hello world contract verified on the rinkeby test chain: https://github.com/Tri-Valley-Blockchain/blockchain-playgrou...

It is not possible to put a freeze on a child's SSN until they have a credit file. So unless they have been a victim of an identity theft or have a credit file (because they have a credit card from their parent for eg) this won't work. The only thing to do for parents with minor children is to monitor their SSN for activity.

Exactly this. I didn't know this was such a big secret. In one of the rides, I happened to be in an Uber that I had taken before and the driver remarked "Hey! you have dropped down from 5 to 4.9". And I exactly remember that just a few days before I shared a ride with a friend , and he was being a dick to the driver unnecessarily.

Over communication is key. If at all possible, you should do a trip to the US at least once every 3 to 6 months and spend some face to face time with the folks you work with. This will help with the relationships immensely.

I have never understood this hatred towards a language. Some languages and the ecosystems around it may allow you to burn yourself easily more than the others and in some cases where you were in your career when you first started hacking in that language might have burnt you. But in both scenarios I don't see the source for hatred. It adds to who you are as a developer I think. I frequently hear this from people who like to identify themselves with one of these camps. Why not enjoy all the languages and use them for what they are good at or more accurately use them for what you are good at using them for. Can't we all just get along...

This is the first place I stayed in Tsim Tsa Tsui in the late 90s. The diversity of people that lived and visited this place is unbelievable.

If there is ever a company to look at to model your developer relations, Stripe is it. It is really a joy to see the stuff these guys come up with.

It also depends on your tax bracket. Mortgage interest and property taxes are tax deductible. So if you belong to a high income (dual income for eg) bracket and the math might favor buying vs renting based on how long you plan to live in that house.

POSTman is an awesome testing tool and also a great way to document APIs to share within a team. I wish it had support for storing information in responses as variables for use in later requests. I currently use globals within environments to set things that rarely change like API keys and secret but it doesn't work for things that change in every invocation for eg., it would be nice if I can save the access token of an oath call in $token and then refer only to $token in other protected resources.

My favorite episode as well. After this episode when I recently bought a new car I did the research (used the step-by-step of this fighting chance package I found googling) and bought a car on the last day of the month about 1500 below dealer's invoice price after accounting for all hold backs. Felt really good to get some of that money back I have lost to dealerships over the years.

However, with Coinbase, there is a need for other people to be able to recognize who they are doing a transaction with

Why is this? They are not receiving money , they are sending money. The recipient needs to know the sender but why does the sender need to know that the recipient is a registered coinbase user or what their firstname and lastname is. Why does the response json of the request_money api need to return the user's name and couldn't the email and the transaction history page be the same when you send money to a registered or non-registered email until the recipient is in some sort of address book of the sender (perhaps after a valid transaction has happened between them). I have used chase and paypal and in both cases either I have to add the recipient to the address book and fill out the email address and first and last names or just use the email address.

Fortunately or unfortunately when you play in the financial services, you are held to a higher security standard. I really like coinbase, I hope they fix this simple problem and move on instead of denying its a problem.

I have used nuzzel since beta. It is neither curated nor trying to figure out whats relevant to you. Instead it uses your twitter stream to show you relevant news and also has a few featured feeds of other prominent tech people. I can easily catch up on my tech news (most of what I follow in twitter) every morning.

full disclosure: I know the folks that built it.

I agree a lot of this becomes cat and mouse game but rate limiting is necessary for the health of their system if not to counter same basic spam prevention. Ideally you want to remove the incentive to spam, which in this case is figuring out emails that have registered coin base accounts that could later be phished.

I think this is by design. If the email address is not associated with a registered coin base account, you get a link to sign up and receive money.

The email content copy should include a footer with a link to get out of receiving such emails. Since they are sending emails to "unverified" email address there is a good chance they get marked as spam by recipients there by damaging their email sender reputation.
