Currently, the biggest issue I’ve been having is that their support group seems to be disconnected from each other and from automated processes. The platform is otherwise pretty solid, as long as nothing breaks.

Thanks for pointing that out, that seems to patch up that rather large hole in the proposed legislation.

The big problem that immediately pops up to me is: a good chunk of the examples of low wage workers are in fast-food (i.e. the McDonald's example). Just about every fast food company out there is a franchise, and I'd be very surprised if there are more than a couple of franchisees which have over 500 employees.

I think it's regional. When I lived in the midwest all of the appliances came with the apartment. Now I live in Los Angeles and you have to bring your own fridge.

Hasn't everyone already learned to keep your personal and work Amazon accounts heavily separated?

That's an interesting take. Facebook is basically Television 2.0, with all of the advantages (free entertainment) that come with inherent costs (advertising), and as was pointed out in a sibling, with TV the advertisers didn't have nearly as much information as they do now.

I wonder if the same parallels would be applicable to broadcast vs cable TV? Namely: ad supported (broadcast), versus subscriber supported with additional ads (cable). More broadly I wonder if that is a direction we'll see social networks start moving into, to date, I don't believe any pay-for social network has gotten any real traction.

That's a good question. AFAIK Stripe already had their magical Dunning rules for retries, which were supposedly already optimized via machine learning. I'm curious if this is substantially different from that.

AIM = AOL Instant Messenger AOL = America OnLine

It makes sense.

Isn't that basically what an optical illusion is?
