- Manhattan Aquariums service consultation.
- LLC.
- More iteration on BoA docs for Mahlstedt business accounts.
- Shopped at Chase for business banking alternatives.
- No generic rewards programs for banking balances, just cc.
- Need 2k to waive $15/mo checking account fee.
- Credit cards are basically: (full list https://creditcards.chase.com/business-credit-cards)
- Business Unlimited, 1.5% cash back on everything, no fee, $750 back on $7.5k/3mo
- Business Preferred, 3% points back on shipping/advertising/internet/travel, 1% points back on everything else, $95/yr, 100k points on $15k/3mo
- I like this one a lot, since it keeps your rewards points in the same world as personal.
- And remember you can redeem points back on travel for 1.25x (personal ultimate rewards is 1.5x) so you basically get 1.25% cash back on everything and 3.75% cash back on the special categories.
- Trust.
- Notarized the trust, was a process.
- Looks like Chase and BoA have both suspended notary services (informally/temporarily?). Chase doesn’t do wills, but the trust is all I need urgently.
- Convinced, called their notary hotline for some quick advice, then got the stamp.
- 2 docs: the actual trust, and the certificate. The latter is a truncated documentation that provides the proof without exposing any private details of the trust.
- Will/healthcare.
- Will leave these unsigned/notarized/witnessed for now. Adding note for future.
- Living will, HIPAA, PoA, etc.
- Notary Public.
- Less than $100 for application and exam fees. Takes a month or two to schedule, prep, test, commission.
- Lasts 4 years in new york.
- Prep material: Notary Law (https://dos.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2022/04/notary.pdf). There are other books too. Imagine could get prepared in 2 fulltime days?
- Test is 1hr. Must get 28/40 multiple choice questions.
- Will do this later, added note.
- There are some pretty great iphone scanner apps.
- Reinforcement learning and other methods for the netflix recommendation engine: https://netflixtechblog.medium.com/reinforcement-learning-for-budget-constrained-recommendations-6cbc5263a32a
- Uber is ending its rewards program (!) and focusing on the Uber One membership. Discounts and fee reductions and stuff, but no more $5 every 5k pts.
- Dissembled the s9 roomba and cleaned the edge brush, bin, filter, main brushes. Then replaced the edge brush and the base bag.
- Remember I have extra replacement parts from when the first s9 was shipped with faulty firmware.
- And remember the base turns red when the bag is missing or full.
- a16z invested 350m into Adam Neumann’s residential real estate startup Flow.
- Remember too that a16z invested 70m just a few months ago into Neumann’s blockchain carbon token startup Flowcarbon.
- Lots of reachouts to various folks from various disciplines for the startup.
