Well I haven't received any spam from Carta so possibly they're only spamming celebrity investors...

Citadel Securities LLC (market maker) has a relationship with Robinhood, Citadel LLC (hedge fund) the one with the short doesn't. Read into this what you want.

Historically no it's not, my parents still have a lot of IKEA furniture bought in the 1970s made of real wood which gets used every day.

It did used to last a lifetime though, my parents bought some items in the 1970s which they still use today (stools, shelves and the odd table), it still looks good as well.

There are a few CCC talks of interest around this:

I'm very happy with Tresorit - https://tresorit.com

Well as both a Visa card user and Plaid customer I suppose I'm happy about this!

I have business accounts with Chase, SVB and Mercury and Mercury is definitely the best experience for what I need. I'm sure you could outgrow its services pretty easily but for now it's perfect.

Plus I like all these challengers snapping at the incumbents, have you seen the SVB app and website, even Chase put them to shame.

I've been very happy with Mercury, possibly the most basic of offerings here compared to all the others but I haven't had any issues and they're constantly improving.

You're right, I must have activated that toggle years ago and forgotten about it. Yes the SMS fallback could be painful if you're not paying attention.

The reason I originally signed-up to WhatsApp was because of spending more and more time in Brazil and realising how ingrained in society it is. Even though a lot of my friends and family there have iPhones, none use iMessage.

Out of interest, what do you use instead?

Well their offering is much simpler than that of AWS, Azure or GCP. I've been using them for over 5 years now without any issues, it's often the case that you get what you pay for but Linode do a very good job for their price point (yes they've had their issues but so have Gandi, Digital Ocean, ... any other competitor).

https://hover.com offers telephone support though it's not 24 hours, always been helpful though.

Of all the Wordress sites I help manage, some pre 'Gutenberg' and the rest post 'Gutenberg' only 2 are using Gutenberg, the rest have either stuck with or gone back to the Classic editor. For most users it's just too confusing.

Love the clean look, certainly a break from LinkedIn.

Some minor feedback, it's strange that all the external links in your CV have an arrow next to them apart from the one at the very top of the page under your name [0] where you link to your website.

I've worked from home pretty much my entire career (over 20 years now, and am fortunate to have a dedicated office) and the last thing I ever want to do is work from bed.

I need some distance between my bedroom and office both physically and mentally.

Have a read through the section 508 guidelines [0] from the US government, they link off to a couple of good sites detailing what the text should be.

Similar to what Facebook does automatically [0] which was easily visible with an outage they had in 2019 [1].

I'm been working on the same problem, it's a hard grind though when you're starting from zero.

I've started to get some traction though with constant tweaking of my landing page. Unfortunately unless you get some third-party recommendation you'll most likely have to pay for it at least for now.

Like in Palm Springs where they are replacing 460 wind turbines with 11 for the same energy production.
