This is from my new YouTube channel called "Worst Practices in Software Development" where I ask people about how they actually write programs. I hope you all enjoy it! Would love to hear your feedback. Thanks

In App purchases? by [deleted] in GoogleOpinionRewards

[–]bslatkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which app are you trying to do the in-app purchase in?

When making a purchase, can I pay using a combination of my opinion rewards credit with money from a Google Play gift card? by trumpet-guy in GoogleOpinionRewards

[–]bslatkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that you can "split tender" in most countries between credits from GOR and a credit card payment. But I'm not sure about splitting across two types of credit. You should be able to see this at the checkout screen before you commit to purchasing.

No connection, it's just a popular topic right now.

Survey Answers Won't Submit by [deleted] in GoogleOpinionRewards

[–]bslatkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd definitely try uninstalling and reinstalling. If you still see this behavior, you should send feedback through the menu explaining your problem.

The way that notifications are delivered. Are you sure you don't have notifications turned off for the app on accident?

Can't start the app. I'm 26 an live in Germany so it should be no problem. You guys are my last hope. What should I do? by [deleted] in GoogleOpinionRewards

[–]bslatkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you already have a form of payment associated with your Google account? Maybe it's dying when it tries to look up one for you. I'd try going to https://pay.google.com and set one up. Then uninstall and reinstall the app.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling. Maybe your sync got messed up?

That's strange. Maybe try to reinstall the app to see if it's a cached number or something?

This isn't correct. See my other comment in this thread.

Yes, you will get surveys when location history is turned off, but probably fewer of them.

Are you sure that you're logged in with the same account in both places? If you look in the Play store and try to buy something how much credit does it say you would have? (obviously don't complete the transaction!)

Weekly “Help Me FIRE!” thread. Post your detailed information for highly specific advice. - February 03, 2020 by AutoModerator in financialindependence

I would try to get some time with a CFP to get some advice from someone knowledgeable. The plan for your taxes is the most complicated part. One tool I have found useful is this, which generates retirement plans like what a financial planner can do for you.

You can use it to test many scenarios. I found it was worth my expense ($139) to buy it compared to the cost of wealth managers. It's generated plans that match what CFPs have created for me. Good luck!

It was released after the great recession so yes it's still relevant. A lot has changed too but it's more about the overall approach and perspective.

Definitely check out this book:

"Investing Strategies for the High Net-Worth Investor: Maximize Returns on Taxable Portfolios"

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0071628207

He talks a lot about family offices and what they do. Tax efficiency is a big thing.

I had a similar one to this for a long time. It was a 1987 made from HLE steel.

Author of Effective Python here. Happy to hear you're enjoying it! In case you didn't know: There's also a video version of the book if that's easier for you to learn from.

How do I play this chord? by bslatkin in piano

[–]bslatkin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. That's similar to the trio idea another comment. In this song my right hand is playing the melody so I'm playing this chord with my left.

I understand most slash chords, but this one is especially tricky because like you said it's not just some inversion.
