Now implementing stricter hiring protocols eg. thorough background checks, in-person meetings, ... Any suggestions?

Headed to London for a belated birthday trip — and this will be my first time in London!

We have our nicer dinners and high tea (Lanesborough) etc picked out, but would love some casual recs for lesser known bites and pubs, or any unique areas to shop

One thing Warpcast and Threads do correctly that Twitter/X does not is defaulting to the author’s posts — sans reposts — on their profile.

Coinbase’s risk models flag VPN usage as a negative sign since attackers always use VPNs, and their recommendation is not to use a VPN when accessing Coinbase. 

Thoughts?

PSA: Don't use a VPN to access Coinbase. 

Attackers always use VPN's, so our risk models take that as a negative sign even if you're legitimately using your own account.

I have tremendous respect for the Coinbase team and their dedication to security, but in high-risk regions (read: authoritarian regimes, conflict zones), forgoing VPN usage can put users’ physical safety at risk.
