Had you updated your contact information with a copy of a scanned ID? Was it legitimate? This is probably more due to regulatory pressures and any possible Coinbase alternative in the USA is going to have the same problem.

As if voting worked... (but that is another can of worms.) No. I wouldn't pay to vote with my phone. There is an annoying problem of "anonymity" which phones are very prone to break--if you could ever trust the operating sys

Read "The Phoenix Project" and everything you can get on "Continous Delivery", "Kanban" and "Agile Testing." You'll want to know how to set up your safety nets--even if you are doing 100% of the

There is a reason why you shouldn't adopt the e-mail address or phone number your cable company _could_provide to you: it ties you closer to their network and increases your dependence on it. I doubt that Kik's "core competen

Sleep and high-intensity exercise are underrated as productivity tools. Anger is best solved by not ruminating about it---the catharsis hypothesis is busted. Read other people's source code of interest, closely. Increase focus/lim

It is pretty on Windows, but disappointing in Chromium on Linux. No error messages, just a loading screen. The interface is better than the desktop app, but that is just cursory from material design. I cannot tell if functionality has been

I recommend setting a timer that alerts you that you have been in the same position for too long and going for a walk or some other exercise. I don't think you have to buy something "new"---you already have the equipment requ
