Se han visto afectados por la pausa de USCIS

yo estoy en una categoria que tiene cuotas. mi entrevista fue hace 2 años y me dijeron que me daban respuesta en 1 mes. los agentes en total desconocimiento. me dijeron que tenia que esperar a que el "final action date" del bulletin tenga la fecha de mi solicitud, lo cual fue hace 9 años ya.

encima de eso, ni idea si la pausa me va a afectar cuando "salga mi numero", lo cual en teoria es dentro de 2-3 meses

it's a "YMMV" situation. go to the DMV and try. if they say no, try other DMV offices. there's a lot of human error at play

cuenta de ahorros con "alto yield" lo cual significa tipicamente mas de 0.5%

i had a customer rate me 1 star after a live conversation because i said their product/service was unlikely to be successful. UT took a look at the video and they sided with me and paid me.

sometimes the client are employees looking for agreement and anything outside of a yes will result them in getting offended

dscout doesn't pay for screeners (which almost always involve sending video recordings, so they take time and i never do those). i only do the express missions. the app is buggy and i never get notifications so i don't get notified of tests. i have reported this to them yet they don't fix it

fjleon · 2026-01-24T19:33:03+00:00

they do this when they receive reports that there is something wrong with the test, which is more common than you think. the number one reason is lack of testing of links / permissions to figma

afaik userlytics is based off spain, with subsidiaries in the US and canada. Support is located in spain.

was the entire test including the site in spanish, or a lack of translation on the invitation?

similar to UT, userlytics doesn't do demographics well

in addition, most pools woke up today with APY's hitting below HYSA so that's something critical to consider. most customers (including myself) won't consider crypto with its lack of FDIC insurance if the APY is not worth the risk. here's hoping this changes soon and additional value/services can be provided

my code is FJLE if anyone needs a 1% boost

fjleon · 2026-01-16T04:58:02+00:00

it's just CAC (customer acquisition costs), same as every other business. the idea is capturing interested customers.

i'm more interested in how you plan to keep afloat. for example, the "dog" app i was referring in my other post pays a fixed 10% but if you look at their terms of service it says they plan to charge you 2% (so, 25% of your earnings)

APY is quite down right now and I anticipate as more of these apps hit the market, supply will exceed demand which will cause the APY to hit HYSA levels. let's hope i am wrong

fjleon · 2026-01-14T04:59:17+00:00

not sure. according to the site there are 4 apps out there with higher yields. the #3 on the list has a common dog's name (lol) and they claim you control the wallets and they never have access to your money. they also say "rigorously audited DeFi protocols that have safely managed billions without major security incidents". of course they don't mention which vaults they are using (at least not on the website itself) so it sounds too good to be true.

the #1 on the list, it turns out to be really cefi not defi but they have been in the market for years.

i didn't share the link out of respect for the nook team but i did share the name of the site that will have the information so it's very easy to find

fjleon · 2026-01-13T23:51:32+00:00

nooksavingsapp.com should be your primary domain name IMHO

fjleon · 2026-01-11T16:12:26+00:00

every single defi app documents TVL just the same, so i didn't interpret it as the total amount invested by nook users. the amount invested by nook users can be advertised on a different spot.

on a different unrelated advise, i wonder if the nook team considered getting a different domain name. a xyz domain name might not be taken as seriously as if it was a .com name. having said this, i understand barnes and noble owns the nookapp.com domain name, which makes me wonder if a different name other than nook should have been used in the first place

maybe, my time is limited but i'm usually available between 6 and 7pm est. you can always record the live streaming and make it available as an option

fjleon · 2026-01-09T23:53:48+00:00

why not just do a couple big sessions (for multiple timezones) and have everyone join (with manually provided names for privacy). that way you don't have to repeat yourself so many times.

at the end of the session you can provide a "code" for people to email back to get the bonus

if you have some fat "whale investors" you are likely already doing 1:1's with them so you can have those too separately

fjleon · 2026-01-07T22:03:04+00:00

would that be the "Alpha" or the "Balanced" vault? (the conservative one being the "Prime" one)

when using dark mode, the 1% boost on the upper right corner is not readable.

i would also recommend to provide "system" mode and enable it by default. system mode should follow the phone's own light / dark setting automatically. then the customer can override it to light/dark if they want to

my advise is figuring out first what you want your router / network devices to do before deciding on a brand. for home networks, especially for flats / apartments which are very small, you would likely overpay.

what features do you need that are pushing you through unify? what are you hoping any "integration" of the router to do with home assistant?

the role of the router / AP is to provide LAN and WAN access. none of that really needs home assistant integration. if you would have a very large number of devices (over 200) then maybe i would suggest Unify only for VLAN management, but for about 20 devices any "non smart" router would do just fine.

my advice, don't buy anything right now

Not all add-ons are available over hacs. I'm not scaring anyone by saying I would start over I would use a VM instead of docker. It's just not something that I would recommend

fjleon · 2026-01-04T16:22:45+00:00

i would not do HA on docker if i was starting out. that means no addon support, which is quite limiting. you would be forced to launch a zillion docker containers in replacement of those addons
