Re:If There Are No Stupid Questions, Then How Do You Explain Quora? on Tuesday January 09, 2024 @10:00PM (#38935607)

Quora was amazing the first couple of years. The experience is now terrible. Perhaps intentional to drive more views. I can't tell if there's actually an answer to a question or not. It's bloated with ads, related questions, answers to related questions, all within the same feed where I expected an answer to the question I'm viewing.

Not surprised. I had the worst experience multiple times with Maven, having my car reservation cancelled minutes before picking the car up.

Agreed. Not sure where that comment came from, but I've lived in NYC for 9 years and never seen homeless people at the library whenever I've worked from there.

Re:Startup Stock Options – Why a Good Deal Has Gone Bad on Thursday April 11, 2019 @03:10PM (#19638109)

But you have NSOs though, not ISOs right? From what I understand, ISOs are required by law to have a 90 day exercise window, so companies that offer more than 90 days after leaving a company are having ISOs converted to NSOs. When you exercise the NSOs, you still will have a tax bill.

Re:Airbnb and security camera disclosure on Thursday January 17, 2019 @10:28AM (#18931447)

Just to add another +1 on the poor AirBnb customer support...

I rented out my place on AirBnb for 3 weeks and it took nearly a month before I received my payment from AirBnb. I filed a support ticket with AirBnb and the support person was extremely slow in responding, sometimes taking 2-3 days for a response. I had to tweet at AirBnb publicly and post on their public FB page to get responses. I looked up the AirBnb customer support rep on LinkedIn and looked like AirBnb has a good amount of their customer support staff abroad in Asia. Their support team told me it was an issue on their end but wouldn't go into details. It was obviously an issue when i went to the billing section on AirBnb and saw 500 errors when using Chrome's debugger to see the traffic. I was close to just tweeting at AirBnb Engineering to offer some help to fix their bug when I hadn't been paid thousands of dollars for putting my home on AirBnb for a month. It finally got resolved and I got a couple hundred dollars in AirBnb credit for my troubles.
