Kids using Facebook is an issue, but how can network operators truly verify age?
A good question. Apart from credit card verification methods (I'm sure that would go down like a lead balloon o n Facebook) what other methods are available to organisations such as Facebook (they claim a minimum age of 13 for users of their service).

Is asking for a date of birth really fulfilling Facebook's quota of responsibility?

What would something like this cost the big social networks, not just in monetary terms, but ease of use and user opinion?

Ask HN: Financial hack: 100x Margin Trading DAI vs. Tether next week?
I know this isn’t exactly WallStreetBets on HN but it is hack and crypto related so I wanted to run this strategy by yall. Just don’t call me DeepValue.

I rarely share investment advice unless I am 95% sure of a strategy's EV, and in this case I would like to get your input.

It APPEARS here there is almost no risk of a serious downside, and a chance for a huge upside.

But it requires doing a bit of research to find the best exchange to trade USDT via DAI with 100x leverage, like HitBTC maybe.

The Backstory

So basically, the one big landmine that's unexploded in the crypto space is Tether. Tether represents the on- and off-ramp for crypto around the world outside the USA. In the USA, it's not used due to regulations. Outside, it's used for something like 80% of the volume!

You know the joke "if I had a dollar for every..." well, Tether likely doesn't!
And the chance that Tether Inc. and its trustees have a dollar in a Bahamas bank to back every Tether issued is very small, considering ALL BANKS IN THE BAHAMAS COMBINED do not have as much as the amount of Tether out there.

Here is someone else's analysis with actual data and graphs...
https://crypto-anonymous-2021.medium.com/the-bit-short-inside-cryptos-doomsday-machine-f8dcf78a64d3

His conclusion was to exit the crypto market into dollars. I have a different suggestion:

The play:

Find one or more exchanges where you can trade DAI vs USDT on high leverage.
Then 100x leverage margin long DAI vs USDT.
If somehow everything is fine, you don't lose much, just keep covering your margin. Tether ain't gonna go above $1 very much and DAI isn't gonna fall.
But IF THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL IS GOOD AT THEIR JOB, they're going to find something and send Tether dropping. For every cent it drops you can make $1.00

So this is almost riskless. And what else has such good odds of going up next week? Cardano? NOTHING. Nothing can be guaranteed to go up but not down. Except this.
Ask HN: Dealing with a client who refuses to pay?
So I know I need to consult a lawyer, which I am doing, but I figured I'd ask in case there was any non-judicial useful advice.

I have a client who hired me on a contract to hire kind of situation. After a while I determined I didn't want to work there (constant interruption, second/third/nth guessing, constantly changing objectives, etc).

Around the same time they stopped paying my invoices and started dodging my emails regarding it. After many many discussions, repeated emails, and many dodged phone calls they finally agreed to pay, kind of. They initially promised to pay within a week (in early Dec), then they reneged and went silent until recently.

Now they want me to sign a release of any and all past or future claims against them in exchange for a staged payment over an unspecified time period and are conditioning that payment upon the release, which seems to be illegal (adding conditions to an agreement after the fact).

Part of me wants to just sign the damned thing and recover what I can since I'm going to be short on rent, but the other part of me really wants to recover the whole amount since it represents more than a month's wages. They say they're in a cash crunch but they're still paying other bills that are significantly larger than the one they owe me.

Has anyone successfully recovered their money from a client like this?

Ask HN: Best database management service for Mongodb?
I am looking for a free Mongodb database management service. The storage doesn't have to be too big, 1GB is good enough. I looked at Azure, Google Cloud Platform, mongolab, and Parse.

I would like your opinion on the ones that are available.

Ask HN: What are your frustrations when doing 3rd party integrations?
For me, the whole process of taking the time to read the documentation, picking a client library for your language, testing the integration, managing keys for different environments, and deploying to production is frustrating. I just want to get back to my core app, and not spend time doing integrations for business operations.

Context: Stripe now supports all sorts of payment workflows besides the simple one-time credit card payment, such as subscriptions, metered billing, and transactions in a 3-sided marketplace (like DoorDash), which can get complicated.

I was thinking about building a low-code payment workflow builder--it helps you integrate with Stripe to gather payment from customers.

Before going too much further, I wanted to start talking to people to see that I'm on the right track. What are your frustrations and experiences with integrating payment workflows? Is this something that is a problem that you'd like taken care of for your next project(s)?

I plan on posting updates and notifying people about the beta at the bottom of this substack: https://paymentworkflowbeta.substack.com/p/coming-soon
