It wasn't a kid though. The guy had some pedigree because he opened a chain of juice bars back in the early 2000s. He's also been in contact with Jony Ive and Bill Gates, so I'm sure his connections helped him.
WTF. So if Intelius has your address, they can pay the USPS to get your new address. That incentivizes me not to fill out that darn form.
Easy one is they scrape Google for Linkedin bio info.

I'm paranoid that USPS sells your info once you fill out their change of address form.

It appears they will appear on Youtube as private.

The only thing it does is make people cancel their account because they don't want a company spamming them about to how to resist the president.

To spam an entire userbase to put forth your political beliefs is insane.
It seems like the WSJ has closed the HTTP Google referer paywall loophole. I've tried a couple of browsers/OSes over the last week and I can't view any articles. TY though for the pastebin.

Many tech companies have CSRs in SFBA. Eventually, they add positions in low COL areas.

Let's assume she was getting $12 an hour to do that work. That salary is ridiculously low for the Bay Area. Granted, they are paying for health, life, and dental insurance premiums. Still, most companies in lower COL areas pay at least $12 an hour for customer service work.
That would infuriate me.
How does a candidate improve on himself/herself if a company gives a stock phrase? Maybe doing a mock interview, but it's difficult to replicate the stressors associated with an interview.

They don't make the 3%, probably like a 1% spread after interchange fees. But they have a huge team, lots of software developers. So they most likely don't make a profit.

And half of its employees are engineers.
Eventbrite and Warby Parker have opened offices in Nashville in the last year for customer support, so it seems like a trend.
Eventbrite in the last year or so has opened an office in Nashville and has around 100 employees there, mostly in Customer Support and Engineering.
Right. Urban Outfitters moved its customer support, sales and warehouse jobs from Philadelphia to the Augusta, GA area in 2005.
The volume for after-hours trading is significantly lower as there are fewer exchanges open. 4PM ET is deemed the traditional end of the day for trading.

What area are you in? 75k in NY or SF for an inexperienced developer seems high.

It's your brokerage. For example, Tradeking allows trading from 8:00-9:30 ET and 4:00-5:00 ET. Some other brokerages, like Interactive Brokers, allow trading to 8:00 PM ET.

It's dumb that YouTube has muted the audio track of the ENTIRE EVENT because a few seconds/maybe a minute of copyrighted music was played.

I agree on #2 and changed the title as I don't want that inference to be made.
