> locking in 4%+ yield Locking in 4% AFTER TAX yield ... if you invest the $300K and it earns 4% you still can't pay the mortgage interest with those funds

I'm very disappointed with my Surface Pro tablet ... battery life sucks, resuming from sleep is really slow and the keycover needs to be disconnected and reconnected for it to 'rem…

We use https://www.enchant.com/ It works great for email support, haven't tried their chat features, but is the sweet-spot for us in terms of features and complexity. They have an …

Do not use your own corporate domain for user generated content. Source: been there, done that ... there is no benefit to it and only pain. Have a separate plunk-emails.com domain …

Any idea how CA handles (small) foreign companies hiring contractors in CA? Assuming they did decide to quibble about the classification what can they actually do to an entity that…

1/ Yes, and you also potentially incur taxable capitals gains at a time not of your choosing, which can suck.

We've used https://www.enchant.com/ for about a decade for email support .. it's great, does exactly what is is supposed to and doesn't add a bunch of 'cruft' on top. Had to check …

What is motivating you to look for a replacement? We are evaluating grids and AgGrid is the front runner currently though really rather heavyweight for our use cases.

Thanks -- appreciate the reply. As a future product option I'd love to be able to treat these as standalone terminals, so we can offer a web based POS app (running on a different d…

Question for anyone in the know at Stripe ... does this make a iPhone work like the existing BBPOS WisePOS terminals and able to interact with a web app _without_ any code running …

If the teacher is moderately technical then they can gain a lot of flexibility by using OBS ( https://obsproject.com/ ) and its 'virtual camera' feature as your 'webcam' feeding in…

Many services won't accept these 'virtual' phone numbers for 2FA. Last time I tried I couldn't assign a Twilio provisioned number as the second factor on a Google account for examp…

Thanks -- to clarify these are spam reports from the end users email host, ie the notification we get from yahoo.com, comcast.net, etc saying an email was reported as spam. So it i…

We provide a platform SaaS so generate emails on behalf of our customers to their customers. While our spam rate is very low, at least 2/3's of the spam reports we do get are for w…

Depending on the use case some providers will block voip sms numbers. I have been unable to set up a Twilio or voip.ms number as the phone# for a Google accounts 2FA

I have no knowledge of the ROI involved here, but would love to understand this: Twilio is 0.75c to send a text. Is it possible for a spammer to generate >$75 per 10,000 people spa…

We've run into this issue with replies to texts that the user sent first. Telecom spam filtering seems to be a ridiculously primitive and wide net. I can't imagine a valid use case…

This looks interesting and bears more investigation. One bit of quick feedback: the initial gif/movie is way too fast to follow if you don't really know what you are looking at.

While not ideal, I think this is a great option. Microsoft (used to?) offer this for developer support and I remember using it maybe 15 years ago where it was a couple of hundred b…

I have some custom code to convert CSV files downloaded from my bank to beancounts text format, but it is all dotNet code since that is what I know the text format is easy to work …

Very true, and not only do print statements inherently serialized threads, they also change the timing so significantly that probably your bug disappears anyway.

Your effort here is admirable, but I think you have chosen a very hard market to make an impact in. Some hopefully constructive feedback: Who is your target customer? A small busin…

If nuclear can offer sustained cheaper than average generation then the market would allow a long term fixed price contract — they shouldn’t need to sell their full output at spot …
