    Really cool to see from sharing their guide on how to ACTUALLY file your taxes for free on the /r/povertyfinance sub-reddit

    When you're bidding on ads, but know that using others' brand names is against the usage terms. Taco Bel is hiring!

    I've been spending probably a bit *too* much time examining search results for various things. Did you know that you can really quite concretely report such problems to Google? (And yes I've had success with this.)

    Out of curiosity have you been reporting the ads? The form and Google AdWords policy seem to suggest some of these, at least, would be taken down if reported:

    Devil's advocate take from a user's perspective: - Official Canada site's topline takeaway: "you must apply by mail" - That ad/commercial site's takeaway: "you can submit it online (via us)"

    I like building these little small things because the small things add up! Here's how you get real-time departures on a mobile browser on the official web site right now... So, that's 4 clicks with a scroll. Making it 1 click is nicer.

    Put it up! You'd be surprised how SEO rewards good content (even over "official" content). My little kludgy web site is the 3rd organic result for "soft story oakland"

    Or you get paperwork in the mail, but need to talk to someone — but when you call, the system puts you on hold for 2 hours and then hangs up on you. Not an imagined example.

    Even when it's not logistical pain, it can be psychological pain: If you miss the piece of mail for mid-period reporting in Illinois, you get a letter that says "You failed to return your Mid-Point Report" This is how we talk to people at their hardest points in life.

    Walking around San Francisco today I saw my first poster on a building notifying of non-compliance with the city’s mandatory soft story retrofit program!

    Also very glad I screenshot *everything* as an audit trail. You'll note above it says "fully refundable within 48 hours" but searching "48 hours" on their knowledge base returns no results.

    So, I signed up for a Dedicated Desk at a and then got an email that... it is not a Dedicated Desk, and if I wanted that I'd have to pay $150 more per month. I was told it was a glitch in their system. Living up to the columns!
