I was banned around that time, myself. I ported to objective-c and applied to iTunes. the exact same app. made it through their manual review process. Still banned in the dev console even after this settlement. If there’s any way to get back in, someone please let us know. Unfortunately, I believe the only answer is to create a LLC.

Used car companies buying up all the inventory during a shortage and Zillow buying up properties in cash over their own online estimates. Regulation anyone?

I have seen Walmart and the supermarket offer the bigger family size box which cost more per oz than the smaller box. Maybe this is the short time where they offer both sizes and faze the other out but it sure makes me think people don't pay attention. People can't seem to do simple math based on how sales prices are consistently implemented. Coke and Pepsi sales alone is a good example. Calculating the cost of a 24 pack as cheaper than a 12 is a mystery to the average consumer.

Re:The rise of never-ending job interviews
on Monday August 02, 2021 @12:44AM (#28032975)
It's odd. I'm tending to think going through recruiters is the answer. The recruiter can be the bad guy and actually get a yes or no by putting pressure on otherwise I'm emailing multiple times and lucky to even get a response. If you weren't sure what the next steps were then why are you even hiring?
Re:TSB bans cryptocurrency amid fraud concerns with Binance and Kraken
on Wednesday July 07, 2021 @10:16AM (#27761377)
Scammers? Binance itself automatically locked my account due to a software glitch. No notice and severely lacking in customer service. It took 2+ weeks for a human to respond and escalate the issue. They have very low trading fees but surprisingly the withdraw fees are rather high. The best platform as far as I’m concerned but I’m not sure how can I go back now.

I'm not positive if any of them charge at this point, but years ago this would also work at airports.

It might help but they were charging the fee back in May, which is as far back as the wayback machine shows for the page.
Re:Transfer Stocks Out of Your Robinhood Account

I've transferred to and from multiple financial and brokerage firms including crypto and have never been charged a fee. Not one dollar. Robinhood is charging $75.
*As others have mentioned, this is an ACAT not just ACH transfers. ACATS usually have fees. I also have done an ACAT but it was by chance that it was with one of the three companies listed in the link with $0 fees.

Tinder is riddled with spam accounts for Insta and Snap. If you swipe through the women available you can then see the new accounts hitting the area. A lot of them are created in the middle of the night. Bio to Insta or being a FWB with a Snap account. The app stores should hold Match responsible for allowing them to lure dumb, lonely guys into fraud.

Google Chrome is constantly creating temp. files that eventually take 40GB+ of one of my drives until it is completely full. Every few months I needed to manually remove a ton of files. It drove me back to Edge, which I thought would never happen.
