It's been mentioned, but a solo-401k would likely allow you larger tax-deferred contributions than a SEP, depending on income (Can defer ~$57k on $200k w/ solo-401k). I have one at Fidelity, it's free and I would recommend th

To me, the Iowa Caucus Fiasco™️ is best explained by incompetence and embarrassment. A bug in the app caused it to fail, call centers overwhelmed, and a bunch of people who had been at the caucus for hours probably tried to take the reporti

You know, you just jogged my memory here. We did have an issue with Stripe changing the order / timing of payment_failed webhooks, which caused them to be sent before the next payment attempt was known. We used the payment failed hoo

It's interesting to compare and contrast this method of API management with Stripe. As far as I understand, the Stripe api would continue to work indefinitely so long as you lock your api version, whereas Shopify would eventually break

Turns out, Amazon has a program called Seller Fulfilled Prime. Sellers get the prime badge, and ship from their own warehouse. If I had to guess, the seller tells Amazon where the product is located + their shipping cutoff time, and if the

My understanding of net worth is that asset purchases like a home would initially be a wash w/r/t your net worth. Starting with a $200k net worth, and you (for instance) put down $100k on the home. You now have $100k in cash/

I would disagree with your 'crux' of the argument, as the majority of the article is discussing human rights violations, capitulation of some of America's largest institutions to CCP demands, and recent protests in Hong Kong.

One method I use for fighting “friendly fraud” in our b2b business (smb customers) is to message their Facebook page after sufficiently attempting to contact someone more official. It has always worked. I hypothesize it’s easy to rationaliz

Am I missing something, or does this render “Ships and Sold by Amazon” useless as a heuristic for receiving an authentic product since sellers who opt into the program also receive the label?

This will improve with more automation and cut-to-fit boxes. For now, every human shipper cannot have access to an unlimited number of box sizes. It's possible to route orders to shipper lanes with the optimal box size stocked, but dai

Not to ignore the '/s', but you brought up a good point. We did add an unobtrusive disclose menu to our shipping tiers during checkout for customers to select their specific carrier if they'd like. This seems to have wor

We ship 75k shipments/yr across FedEx / UPS / USPS and, while I too have my own bias about preferred carrier, these kinds of preferences are usually pretty specific to locale. Some people love the carrier you hate, and others

As someone in consumer-goods warehousing and distribution, automation is the only way forward. The seasonality of demand and inherent monotonous nature of the work itself makes it near-impossible to scale and retain the workforce required t

I came to say the same. For my 15mo old son, I prefer asking Alexa to play music on the Echo because I don't have to ignore him (in a way) to go tapping on my phone -- which makes him very curious about what I'm doing. As a plus,

Forgive the oversimplification, but you borrow from someone who owns the stock. They lend it because they collect fees/interest when you borrow it.

I've noticed lately that Amazon's search also returns products if the query matches customer Q&A questions. So if you are wanting to purchase, say, a 10ga extension cord, and UL listing is important to you, searching for &#x27

Anecdotal, but I've had the opposite experience on Airbnb. A situation arose where I would have certainly received a partial refund from a hotel, and when in arbitration, Airbnb sided w/ the seller (landlord?) and there was no ref

I checked DKIM records and they did pass. Many emails did not have DKIM headers, but I never found one that contained DKIM headers, and failed validation.
