No.
No. It's not even that second thing.

No. You had some respect for them (for some reason) and made this arrangement; stick to it.

It's not Chrome.
Well, maybe stop violating the HN guidelines. 'Most stories about politics' is the very first entry in off-topic discussion.
No.

After reading the page, I can confirm. No. It appears to be a slickly-marketed consulting service.

This is parody, right?

No.
I'm only unhappy reading this article because it's so bad. People have had 'better' things to do than socialize for 100s of years.

I use Firefox's saved passwords.

If you're working 60 hrs/week programming, you do not have a great job. If every line adds lots of problems but no one can help you figure out what to do next, you do not have a great job.

Work fewer hours. You won't even be getting less work done (or do you need overtime for some financial disaster?).

Track everything that needs to get done.

You are correct. The article is flatly wrong when it suggests that people would lose the UBI as they start making money elsewhere. It is not global unemployment insurance.

Saw that coming 2 posts ago.

But that completely wrong title really brings it something.

Well, I'm not those 96%, but:

It's ugly.

You misspelled 'Recruit'

There's something broken about the sign-up-with buttons that makes them display unprintable characters. Actually, that's all over.

It's unclear what you're doing.

Once I understand vaguely what you're doing, I first think 'oh great, another useless job site'. Bad place to put people. Once I understand a little better what you're doing, I think 'It's impossible for this company to be doing what they say they're doing. They have no special power to access top candidates.' The landing page fails to convince me.

Yes. In my experience such recruiters consume job-seekers' time without providing any increased chance at employment, and are of generally poor quality.
Re:Ask HN: What service would you pay $1k/mo for? on Tuesday December 06, 2016 @09:59AM (#13115000)
A good place to live, not much else.
Don't give up on finding a job.

You're probably going to need to make hundreds of applications to generate dozens of interviews to lead to a job. The majority of places won't even bother rejecting you. It's stressful, but you've already gotten a start.
