woodtrail··on Ask HN: Freelancers - how do you find clients you trust?
Thanks for the response. His site looks like a normal e-commerce site.

My parents are new to the idea of freelancing, and they're worried that the site might somehow be a disguised site for selling illegal products.

My parents might be a little paranoid.

woodtrail··on Ask HN: Freelancers - how do you find clients you trust?
I'm not worried about payment right now.

I'm worried about how you would verify the legality of the client's business, or the client's identity. I've only talked to this client over the phone. I've googled his name, but found nothing.

His LinkedIn profile also has little info.

woodtrail··on Ask HN: Finding a team for a hackathon?
Talking about the Cleanweb LA hackathon. If anyone wants to get together for it, email me at davidwong.xc@gmail.com.
woodtrail··on Degree or equivalent experience - what's the conversion rate?
Thanks for the reply. It seems like equivalent experience is decently variable.
woodtrail··on Gap year student looking for an internship
I'm interested in machine learning, though I haven't had much exposure to that yet. I'd be interested in most things, probably.

I'm a rising sophomore, though I've self studied a few of my future classes (data structures and programming in C, discrete math) CS 223 and 202 at Yale, respectively. Apart from the languages and frameworks I listed above, I'm comfortable with HTML and CSS and ready to pick up anything new.

I live in California, though I can be anywhere if if the internship is reasonably paid.
