How are you delineating websites and apps, and can you elaborate what exactly your hypothesis is here?

It's also crazy how many HN users think calling this guy a sociopath is constructive feedback.
Re:Ask HN: How can a unhireable person get a job? on Friday April 16, 2021 @03:40PM (#26838239)
Thank you! My point exactly. This is ugly as hell. So many brilliant developers and tech minds congregating to judge someone going through a sad time in their life based on an emotional post to some web forum.
Re:Ask HN: How can a unhireable person get a job? on Friday April 16, 2021 @03:37PM (#26838214)
Calm down, I know plenty of talented developers at FAANGxyz companies who are less articulate and have weaker writing skills compared to OP (at least in the post you're replying to, I do agree the original post was a bit off, but clearly it was written in some type of emotional state.. you know with his calling himself unhirable and all.)

It seems that a lot of people replying here never understood the phrase "don't just a book by its cover". So many people are opining about OPs character in definite, and it's just unpleasant to witness. Sure, the whole calling VPs directly thing is a bad idea, and definitely inappropriate, but I can understand someone feeling like they're doing the right thing to advocate for an issue they see to be impactful. I wish I could CC this to all the people postulating OPs universal lack of empathy. I agree that he could benefit from therapy, because honestly we all can benefit from therapy; but all the posts implying he needs to be medicated or psychoanalyzed are reprehensible. I see someone who is upset with where they are, so they wrote a post conveying that in a slightly conceited way, yet so many talented minds in the field of tech are coming to this post to say that he has delusions of grandeur.

He is the book, and this post along with the comments he's making are the cover. You can give advice on what's presented without insulting his character.

Holy shit, you're incredibly talented, I just checked out your website.

Get some therapy for your obsession with bitcoin though; it's unhealthy. It's like telling someone to refuse to work for a company that only does direct deposit because you love checks.

I mean, if his goal was to solicit a bunch of advice and (with the attention this post has received, perhaps even a job) from people hooked by the idea of someone being unhirable, and then motivated to correct him.. it worked pretty well.

That was amazing. It left me wanting to read more emails from the Unfortunate Spaceman guy obliterating entitled assholes trying to beg.

I went ahead and signed myself up to your website. The application made me feel like I wasn't supposed to, considering I've never done any of the things it asked if I did, and am just a lowly CS student who doesn't even have a great GPA, and is about to graduate jobless... so I figured I'd take a shot. Very nice signup process. Smooth as butter.

Completely understand if you can't help me, but would love some feedback on my resume at least.

Who do you recruit for? I'm soon to be a new grad, looking for a job, and if you reject me.. you could literally berate me for things I didn't actually do and I wouldn't find it appropriate or productive to argue with you about it. Let's set up an interview, you can record my reaction to the rejection and send it to those who argue for reference on how not to be a moron.

Thank you for the try! It was an older looking website, not on a platform like medium, or any type of blog hosting site. Thanks.

Around February, I saw an article about fault vs. responsibility. Can't find it

Please help...If you know the article I'm referring to, please let me know.It was an older looking website, not on a platform like medium, or any type of blog hosting site.It had a bunch of scenarios and laid out who is to blame in that scenario..It was based on the idea of having to stop blaming yourself for everything, while still taking responsibility, and not feeling guilt/shame for...

Hey Blatoni, big fan, and software engineer here. Any way you could add Rochester, NY (Monroe County Sheriff, and RPD) to the list of supported calls? I have an RTL SDR, but haven't been able to spend the time figuring out how to decrypt the Phase II trunking.
Re:Show HN: Axiom โ€“ No-code Browser Automation on Wednesday May 06, 2020 @03:01PM (#23094952)
You could charge based on some metric of use, as opposed to an all you can eat style charge. $50 is very prohibitive if I used this to automate a task that'll earn me $20/month.
Saying Uber is simply a tech company is basically doublespeak. Uber doesn't sell their app.. Uber maintains partnership with businesses, and managers their business using technology. Why shouldn't Uber employ their drivers, who power their app just as much as the developers who created it.
I mean.. maybe they're colleagues, and he posted the link to his post in like a Discord, or a Slack. Why be so cynical?
I.. don't think that's true at all. Ketones in your urine is indicative of ketosis. Smell of alcohol on breath is indicative of ketosis. Urine color is not an indicator for ketosis, it's an indicator for hydration.

This probably comes down to narrowing the number of people who can take action on these requests, as per the potential abuse that could come from taking action on invalid requests.
Re:Cloudflare silently deleted my DNS records on Monday February 24, 2020 @04:40PM (#22408745)
Some companies, this doesn't work at all. EG: Postmates. Emailed pretty much every one of their executive/management team about a literally brand damaging issue, and received zero bounces, but also zero replies. Some companies have a policy to ignore unsolicited emails, no matter how serious the issue, as to not fuel the idea that doing so will get results in the future.
Re:Cloudflare silently deleted my DNS records on Monday February 24, 2020 @02:43PM (#22407628)
I find this whole infrastructure, despite my taking advantage of it, to be very flawed. There're many customers who might have alarming issues, who never get attention because they're fearful to be perceived as a "Karen" for bitching on Twitter.
They charged Huawei with RICO.
