AWS does this too, also to the tune of 100k iirc. You just need to show that you are funded by a known VC, and then each subsequent funding round gets you additional credits.
Correct. AWS gives you 100k credits for 1 year (or some other deal like 25k/year for 2 years). They also have tons of other incentives
* Free support and consulting (probably useful for some less technical companies)
* Free or discounted resources for POCs (ie: "This customer wants to do a 3 month POC, we're going to spend literally 0 dollars on that infrastructure")

Don't see a good fit? Feel free to reach out to me at the email on my profile with a resume and your strengths.
What's your business model? The product looks outstanding, but I, like many others here I'd imagine, am somewhat skeptical of a product that sells itself as nearly completely free for the user.
We make money on debit card usage (interchange) and deposits that sit with us. We will be adding a couple of other revenue streams this year.
We have pretty good unit economics and the bigger we get the more money we make. Agreed that you should be skeptical of anything that makes a loss on a per user basis.
I recently led the project completely rewriting the incident reporting system for one of the top 3 (by size) police departments in the country. This report wouldn't have even come close to passing client-side (or server-side for that matter) validations upon submission. An incident classified as a death with no medical information submitted? Usually the systems have some basic checks in place to ensure that, for example, if a theft occurred, property marked as stolen is present in the report. Likewise for any incident with some sort of physical harm: there's always a medical incident listed too. And a (nearly) blank narrative?! Even if that's due to Louisville PD policy, it still wouldn't have flown in the city I worked in. A simple assault (not battery, no injury) on public transit where the offender ran away and nobody could identify them would've produced a more thorough report than this one.
If this is standard in Louisville and there are no safeguards in their reporting software, stringent incident reporting software ought to be added to the list of reforms we ask of them.
The nearly blank narrative is listed under the header “public narrative”. Many departments use this to separate out the actual narrative from what can be immediately provided to the public (often just a sentence or two). So, there’s a possibility the full narrative was withheld as it’s an active investigation.
It’s also not uncommon practice for initial report narratives to be somewhat anemic when the follow-up investigation is immediate. Homicides being a perfect example where, in many agencies, all the useful details beyond “found dead guy” are in the murder book (i.e. case notes) outside of RMS.
And interestingly enough, the 10600k has a 20% higher base clock than the 4670k (4.1GHz vs 3.4GHz), and a 26% higher boost clock (4.8GHz vs 3.8GHz). That alone probably accounts for the majority of the difference. It's a shame that Intel has barely been able to increase IPC at all in the past decade or so.
I'm only 23, so I understand that I am young, but looking young is, without a doubt, a serious disadvantage when it comes to people trusting in your ability.
I recently worked on overhauling the reporting system for one of the largest police departments in the US, and every step along the way I was asked who was in charge, how did I enter the workforce so young, how I got an internship while attending high school (I had already graduated college), etc. I even got those types of comments from other employees at companies where I worked full-time. Of course, I don't really have the luxury of getting too offended by it all the time, otherwise I'd be really bitter, but the classic "Oh well you'll be glad you look young when you're older" gets tiring.
I always looked about 5 years younger than my age. It sucked when I was young. At 40 it’s not the worst quality, but it also doesn’t help much. So I look 35, big whoop. I did discover wearing my hair long in my 20s made me look a bit older (eh, more like my age). Might try modifying your look.
Absolutely, just dressing differently and changing a few things has helped. Facial hair is a big one. I'd rather look young than be balding at 23 like some of my peers.
Right!? I found dressing “older” actually made me look younger. It looked like I was pretending to be grown up. I kind of embraced a rock/slacker look in my 20s and that worked best. These days I just do the dad look. That works fine. Best of luck out there!
I can attest to this. I got an application this week for my company's senior software engineer position from someone whose only experience has been in residential flooring. And dozens more with similar qualifications from all over the country despite it being an onsite position in Chicago.

Not a lawyer, but I think it might be illegal to only hire US citizens, unless you're some government contractor. Did you mean you don't sponsor visas? Then you should clarify I think.
