That could pose its own ethical issues, especially if companies start accidentally creating documentation and links to guthib.com without realizing it's redirecting them. At least this way it's clear you've made a mistake.

WSB has over 5 million subscribers right now (up 1 million from yesterday alone) and some threads get over 100,000 comments on a single thread. I don't find it hard to believe that a 100k Android users got angry enough with Robinhood to leave a negative review.

Sounds like most of my experiences with Airdrop (though recently it does seem to be working better)

Would an alternative be to offer auto-generated usernames that you have one-shot to generate a password for and if you lose that password you're gone? Something like opposite-dwindling-zodiac, casino-smile-widget, or creative-crumpled-dismiss?

If you choose to add a phone number as a recovery (and for contact finding) that's your optional choice.

I'd agree with both sides of this. I was a customer for years and anytime I had an issue they'd respond very quickly. However, getting my wife to get an account approved so we could have the shared/joint account feature was impossible and they would never explain why.

Looks at username Oh hey, thanks for what you've done!

Would the solution be a shift in the expected outcome of testing to:

A) Project-based testing proving critical thinking rather than memorization, and

B) Testing with the understanding that as long as you can find the answer via Google, notes, or a book in a reasonable time frame, this shows you understand enough to proceed? Is this not how much of the working world works as it is?

Often times these browsers also require microphone and webcam access and track eye movement. Huge privacy violation, but I also don't have a proposal on an alternative other than proctored in-person tests.

Let's say it takes someone 30 minutes in total to drive to your house, replace it, and drive back to their own house.

If they did it every day, that's 15 hours in a month, or 182.5 hours in a year.

If you paid that person $1500 for the year, that's $8.22 per hour, above federal minimum wage.

$1300 will get you a 1300+ sq ft house with a 2 car garage in many places outside of California. A one bedroom condo does not scream luxury to me, especially at $3700 a month.

Simply knowing salary tells us almost nothing about the benefit(s) of your move. How much more/less do you spend on:

* Vehicle Registration, Public Transportation, Gas

* Housing (rent/mortgage)

* Sales tax

* Etc.

The housing is a huge factor, given that 30% of $55k is $1300/mo (A decent house in most of America), yet 30% of 150k is $3750/mo (A nice cardboard box in the bay area)

Do you have a hobby? Most of my side projects (and if you notice, a lot of the projects here too) stem from a hobby. It's not work if you have fun doing it, and if it's a side project then you can stop whenever it stops being fun.
