- Which crypto exchange do you use to buy altcoins? Was looking to use Kraken, but it has very low employee strength, so not sure how good their security is or if their platform has lot of bugs etc. Robinhood's employee count is about 20x of Kraken but it does not offer a lot of altcoins. Crypto.com's volume of exchange per day is 1/10th of Kraken.

- Recovered an old BTC wallet, can't even sell without ridiculous fees and 1+hour confirmation times. How can people expect to transact BTC day to day? To me, this is why BTC will never be a viable "currency". People are telling me to sell it on an exchange, but being a hardcore libertarian I refuse to use exchanges, let alone put my PI and banking info on there. Semi relevant: If you live in the b

- End of Engagement What does the end of an engagement/project look like for you these days? Pre-covid days it would have been either a happy hour or a nice team dinner to celebrate completion of work, before moving onto the next project. Of course nowadays nothing like that so it's a little disheartening but looking

- Google recruiting is so bad these days Got a reach out on LinkedIn from Google about a position. Exchange emails with the recruiter and set up a chat. When moving forward to an interview got assigned a coordinator out of India (which already seemed like a really bad idea due to time zone differences). Coordinator took several days to sch

- Macbook pro updated within half a year? WTF I love Apple products. But this time Apple really made me frustrated. I bought a new Macbook pro (15inch) one month ago. This Macbook pro is released in June this year. Two days ago, Apple has released a new 16inch Macbook pro to replace this one. I cannot return or exchange my "outdated" 15inch M
- Google recruiter not responding? My recruiter used to be very responsive throughout the 2 rounds. She got back to me immediately post round 1 the next day to let me know I got round 2.

- I launched a cryptocurrency exchange I've been working on a cryptocurrency exchange on the side and finally launched it. Now the product is live, but nobody uses it.

- vote How much did you lose in crypto? Poll: There is a bad side of crypto. You'll loose money, spending most of the time researching about coins, estimating future value of some xyz coin and getting depressed if it doesnt worked as expected. And lastly Day Trading.

- Recruiters Apple general recruiter contacted me, we had an email exchange, we had a phone call too. She likes it so she hands me over to the internal recruiter.
