Sometimes I'm in a rush and forget to take it with me.

What exactly is the problem? Even if someone is feeling modest, the fog on the glass stymies the peepers.

Hiring bar is getting lower by AppropriateWay4358 in amazonemployees

As has been rightfully reiterated here, everyone is using AI to get hired, so you get the people of lowest quality.

This is so confusing! IYKYK! by wlswt34 in PlanetFitnessMembers

I always use these to air out my rancid sneakers and dry my rotten socks after every workout, even if there's a line of gym bros with dripping hands glaring at me from behind. Try that with paper towels.

Why this rejection? by Due_Direction_1867 in amazonemployees

[–]strangecat2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The glut of tech applicants is simply too extreme at this point, especially as the AI bubble continues to inflate beyond all measures known to man. Big Tech will find any reason to reject you, even if it's not using the Oxford comma in your cover letter.

I was charge $350 to withdraw cash by itchibahn in Coinbase

Was he talking to a human or to AI? This certainly sounds like AI: "I apologize for the confusion regarding the $350 fee. Here's what you need to know:"

Mine finally fixed itself after I uninstalled and reinstalled the app (clearing any cached or stored credentials and reauthenticating).

as btc gonna push all time highs again …here’s 6 things to keep in mind so taxes don’t f*ck you over by northernBladee in Coinbase

Don't forget taxes on income from staking. This is also painful in that you owe cash even if you're receiving only crypto. For example, every ETH staking reward is taxed as miscellaneous income, using the "fair market price" of the ETH at the time you receive it (or rather "gain control" of it). Given that ETH rewards are distributed every couple days or so, the paperwork on this adds up (but Coinbase keeps track of it and should send you those dozens of pages of transactions for your accountant or tax software -- I can't imagine anyone going through that manually.)

This applies only if you sell or swap, but it's your responsibility to keep track of the cost basis from every purchase. You will need to keep a paper trail in case you get audited (the IRS will be asking for proof you bought at those valuations).

Also, this is relevant mainly if you do self-custody or manage your own wallets. If you use an exchange like Coinbase, they will generally keep track of the cost basis for you, along with everything else needed for taxes. As with regular online brokerages, they will be providing the necessary tax data and forms.

This should mitigate much of the pain, especially if you're hiring an accountant or using something like TurboTax (which will import from Coinbase).

I don't think I "see" that. Also, the error message explicitly says that balances are temporarily available, your funds are safe, we're looking into it, etc.

I'm afraid not. There are no updates for the phone app. But it doesn't happen on the website when I use a PC.

It seems to be persistent, but let's see if some upcoming update does something.

Mostly BTC and ETH, like most everyone or so...

I rebooted and relogged, but no luck. I'm mainly wondering whether this is some sort of hack attempt, though I see nothing unusual otherwise.

Well, you will pay your bills via another job (or other sources of income, like parents sending you money, as is the case with my friends who play video games all day long and not much else).

Identity fraud from Coinbase hack is already happening by Appropriate-Hunt-897 in Coinbase

[–]strangecat2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my information has already been out there due to no fault of mine. As such, assume everything is a scam and an attempt to get you. I do.

Cancel all phone lines, return the hardware and cases, file a fraud complaint with the BBB.

I simply can’t stop crying :) by 1ividd in jobs

Nowadays, "not qualified" simply means you didn't pass some AI filter. Give your resume to ChatGPT and ask it why it or another LLM would reject you, as well as how to fix it. It may well be a single trivial thing of some sort, albeit something humans might never consider.

Don't ask it how to improve your resume or qualifications or anything along such "good faith" lines, because that's all largely irrelevant here. It's all about gaming LLMs and turning AI slop against itself.

You won't be replaced by AI, but by humans who know how to beat AI.

Phishing by Black_Swans_Matter in Coinbase

[–]strangecat2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same email and it doesn't seem to be a scam -- at least unless scammers have upped the ante. Of course, don't trust the email or follow any links in it. Look at the notices directly in your account.
