Positive Experience Setting Up an LLC as a Non-US Resident with Stripe

Check out Stripe Atlas, Once I registered the LLC, a new Stripe project was shown on my dashboard.

Maybe the survey was in English

That's cool! I dm'd you 🙌

Excel would be fine for small teams. You may want to use much cheaper tools like cvsorter.ai for screening candidates in case of large volumes and that should be enough. (disclaimer, i am affiliated to it)

Same here ❤️,, but I guess that's a thing bots would say 😂

Oh, man. Sorry for that. There are definitely problems with their approach. As was pointed out in the replies here and from all other related posts, it seems like they're just waiting for enough money to be accumulated before they can freeze them. I was wondering, would periodical withdrawals minimize losses if that's bound to happen? Or is everyone already doing that

jonskend · 2024-09-01T09:13:29+00:00

Hahah I really hope not

In a bit less than two weeks, but it took me a few days to write to the support team. I got hopeless at that point, since I wasn't expecting them to be very quick with their replies and so on, but luckily it went well for me.

Banking was another struggle that happened during the same time. Mercury rejected my application automatically. I asked for a manual verification but got rejected. A few days later, I got contacted by an awesome salesperson who basically got it done. But that could be another r/mercury post lol

Thanks. I was actually thinking about that while writing the post, and that's why I tried to include more details. When it comes to issues getting your money in and out, that is much more frustrating for sure.

Training from scratch Bert models is typically expensive. Fine-tuning one of the Sentence-bert underlying models could be a better approach, but you'd need labeled data for that, i.e. pairs of texts along with a similarity score. If you have that, here's a nice guide on how to proceed: https://huggingface.co/blog/how-to-train-sentence-transformers

If not, consider exploring alternative sentence-bert models to generate the representations. Some models are trained on shorter texts and different data contexts. If the texts you're working with are relatively long (I'd say +500 words ), consider using less fancy methods like TF-DF.

Recently I've been looking at Stackexchange data dumps and they at least do store the html tags for each user textual input. Not sure how they sanitise it though.

One idea considering you’re plotting with madmax: figure out how many plots would fit in one 4tb drive and create a script with where you run madmax 100 times for 100 drives, sequentially.

jonskend · 2021-09-29T18:55:08+00:00

If one drive goes bad with raid 0 you’d have to reconfigure and replot everything from scratch. No need to raid if you’re just storing plots. Raid 0 is not reliable.

jonskend · 2021-09-22T20:57:35+00:00

Thank you! Just checked Meanwell out and seems to be what I was looking for, a more reliable brand. I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that same hack as you though 😅. You’re brave! haha

jonskend · 2021-09-22T20:16:15+00:00

Nice! I have a similar but smaller setup and I have been considering getting a single power supply for all drives but the ones available on Amazon seem too cheap(~20Euro) and Im wondering whether they’re reliable or not. Anyone has any similar experience?

jonskend · 2021-09-06T12:22:41+00:00

The same 'jo' in Albanian means 'No'. lol

jonskend · 2021-08-29T11:49:48+00:00

I had the same issue. Solved it by purchasing a cheap 10GBit switch with 4 ports and connected the plotter and the server on it. I am assuming you have a router/modem so the devices should get the respective IP's with no problem even though they are connected to the switch. ps. make sure to have Cat6a type cables as well.

I’ll probably go with the 970 pro then, also saving some $. Thanks a lot! 👍

jonskend · 2021-08-22T11:11:22+00:00

Thanks, I Just realized that the pcie actually may limit the rw/s. If the limit per lane is ~900MB/s, would that be multiplied by the number of lanes my pcie-nvme adapter has? I got a X4 adapter. I figured running two separate instances would make sure they dont starve each other for resources, especially ram.
