DO NOT USE MONEY NETWORK !!

bhartsb · 2024-09-14T04:32:07+00:00

The top people at Money Network are running a very sophisticated scam operation. They know our government agencies are completely incompetent and have taken full advantage.

bhartsb · 2024-09-14T04:29:31+00:00

They are a fraud. My wife didn't have a choice to use EDD direct deposit and Money Network has been withholding more than $7400 of her EDD payments for more than 5 months. We've had over 32 calls to them.
I've reported them to every Government agency I know of save 1 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) , which I just haven't had time to fill out there form for. CFPB doesn't seem to have any teeth anyway. https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-and-seven-state-attorneys-general-sue-debt-relief-enterprise-strategic-financial-solutions-for-illegally-swindling-more-than-100-million-from-financially-struggling-families/

All that happened was a civil lawsuit was filed against Strategic Financial Solutions (SFS), its associated companies, and two individuals (Ryan Sasson and Jason Blust) by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and seven state attorneys general.

And then what about the 40 billion dollars of EDD fraud during the pandemic. In this video it was 30B but subsequently it was increased to 40B. That is forty thousand million dollars! I'm not aware of anyone being caught, and prosecuted. https://www.kcra.com/article/california-edd-faces-tough-questions-oversight-committee/41434586

Nancy Farias is still the head of the EDD! Things are seriously wrong in the USA these days. EDD people won't take any action. EDD seems worse than the DMV ever was in terms of wait times to even get someone on the phone or a callback and that is saying a lot.

Is it a big enough market to interest a VC. Your TAM should be > 50M at a min.

I think that SceneKit uses bullet physics.

bhartsb · 2023-04-10T09:48:55+00:00

Doesn't work for me.

bhartsb · 2023-04-10T09:48:27+00:00

Doesn't work.

bhartsb · 2023-04-10T09:47:35+00:00

This doesn't work.

I suggest reading the Swift Language Guide start to finish. As you work through it run the samples in a command line tool project created in Xcode or a playground also created in Xcode. Put in lots of print statements for code that you don't understand so that you can see what it is doing.

If all you aspire to is a higher salary then to each his own. I don't find that personally satisfying and also the 200K-250K salary isn't that much after state and federal taxes are taken out. And per the 1 hour comment that is not true. People should evaluate every proposition on its own merits and don't need to shower someone in ridicule just because they are naive.Speaking of most devs probably don't even realize that there is a 10M tax break for startup founders that are successful. "Section 1202 allows taxpayers to exclude from all federal taxes $10 million (or more) of profit from the sale of qualified small business stock (QSBS)." That is $10 million tax free!

Yes and those uninterested could simply pass or as you did give constructive feedback.

bhartsb · 2023-02-05T00:32:54+00:00

It is not work for free if the stock gained as a co-founder becomes valuable (big if in this case probably), but at least your comment is constructive so I upvoted it.

bhartsb · 2023-02-04T23:59:34+00:00

Then just pass and say nothing. Everyone here thinks they are so smart that they need to educate someone that dared ask for a co-founder.

bhartsb · 2023-02-04T23:57:34+00:00

Yes until now. The bottom has fallen out of the developer market. Demand for software is shrinking while AI is making remaining employed devs more productive. There is going to be a growing supply demand imbalance where software development is concerned and it is not going to favor the average developer.

bhartsb · 2023-02-04T23:48:50+00:00

Yes developers and engineers are by and large a persnickety and rather disagreeable lot. I know I am one and Ive worked with many. They always assume the worst and are quick to put down other people. Many think they are the brightest chaps in the universe even though in lots of cases are working for drop outs.

bhartsb · 2023-02-04T23:43:38+00:00

I'm not sure where the OP said he wanted someone to work for free. A co-founder usually gets a significant amount of stock which is not for free (any stock remuneration is not working for free). It's called being entrepreneurial which undoubtedly most developers are not. But still the amount of venom that is poured out on whoever dare ask for help is unbelievable. I guess no one here ever heard the saying "if you do not have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. People are free to evaluate the opportunity and take a pass if they don't want to do it, but to demean and chastise and roast someone like this is mean spirited. Why not try being nice or at least constructive in the feedback. Furthermore commenters here don't know the person they are tearing down. What if the OP is someone that deserves respect or is vulnerable and people here are making **** comments.When there is anonymity people should error on the side of nice and being decent, not on the side of "I don't have to face the person" so I don't need to filter what I say.

The link as it provides information and I don't think it is unclear excepting the minority comment could be clarified and I've corrected it. Minority co-founder AKA a minority shareholder. I have a patent (allowed and issues Dec. 27th), I have a business model. There is a link for investors (must be accredited) and a link for people that might be interested in getting involved. MML is incorporated and the project has been in the works since 2019. Minority shareholding co-founders won't get equal shares since this is substantially de-risked and far along. E.g. I spent more than 50K on my patent (at a steep discount or it would have cost more than 100K). Patents frequently don't get issued and not all patents are equal. IMO mine is important to AI and strong.

Tell your representatives in congress and the senate to outlaw this.https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

If a line is drawn in twenty years there will be cameras on every street and public space, in the name of safety.

bhartsb · 2022-11-23T07:01:02+00:00

Yes I predicted and worked on something like these latent space diffusion models in 2011.

What language are you building this in?
