Thanks. I understand limits these days are based on 10DLC trust? Do those throttling still apply even with staying under those limits?

I think the floor is 0.0025 to 0.003 based on network access fees and depending on carrier. With margin I suppose yes I won't get much cheaper.

If I scale to that level I will look at direct integration, thanks. Do I still need blacklist if I have double opt in and users can opt out? Requiring confirmation would remove the need for that?

I get access to salary statistics every year via my union. They collect everything from the member, support is almost always around 80%. Just plug in area, experience, title and if you have a management role. So yeah, my answer would be: most people have insight in salary levels.

Also remember that in some countries you income is public record that can be looked up by anyone.
Most recalls are just to fix things. It might be replacing brake pads, or a bumper, or in this case some software.

Yes I would love to see the elimination of the four-way stop intersection. One road should be designated as the "arterial" road and should not stop. The crossing road should yield. There are very few cases where a four-way stop is justified.

In the center, there is trees and rocks as decorations and designed to prevent anyone from driving over the center.

I wonder if it would work to respond with a link to an online form to fill out with the job details. This website would also contain your resume and descriptions/code for your software projects.

Well, the new owners will continue collecting the same royalties that BlackBerry was getting until the patents expire; I'm not sure how much it is for this specific pool, but probably up to a few tens of millions of dollars per year.

I am asking you how one determines which regulations are actually necessary. Those of you making this "too much regulation" argument never seem to go into detail on that. Judging by every other industry that has ever existed, this is not a tractable problem -- one determines what regulations are necessary by failing and learning from the experience. With nuclear, how many meltdowns are you willing to tolerate to get this experience?

You could put it that way. I'm a huge fan of sports betting, poker, blackjack, you name it and have been gambling for well over a decade and this is something I enjoyed back when it existed as CentSports (2008-2011 era). So I'm just building something I wished existed (and is legal), and I'll leave the morality judgements to others.

Closeness isn't a requisite for nepotistic behavior, only undue bias due to personal familiarity.

I don't think it's any less bad to hire someone you don't know all that well because you share friends than it is to hire people because they're you're close friend or a family member.

The point is that it's exclusionary to outsiders, and outsiders tend to be the exact people tech needs more of.

I've had something similar happen. I was keeping home-made ginger beer in our refrigerator for some weeks after I'd made several bottles of it. Ginger beer is yeast, water, sugar, ginger juice, and a few other things. I didn't realize that - even at 3-4 degrees Celsius the yeast would continue doing their thing, albeit slowly.

I was sitting at the kitchen table, right next to the fridge, when a 750 ml glass bottle of ginger beer exploded. It took out another bottle along with the tempered glass shelf it had been sitting on.

Not only did it take more than an hour to clean up, the replacement shelf my wife ordered was the wrong one, so she had to order yet another replacement. It took ages to arrive.

I have not yet been allowed to make more home-made ginger beer, which is a shame because it's very tasty and is excellent for making cocktails in the summer.

Because people passing you is very slightly more dangerous than people following you. It’s not a big deal most of the time, but when everyone passes you across thousands of hours it adds up to a significant risk.
>This should initiate a conversation into following the spirit of laws vs. authoritarian rigidity of law without nuance.

That's why rolling stop laws don't always end up with you getting a ticket. I was pulled over a year or two after first getting my license for executing a rolling stop. The cop reminded me what I'd done, recognized that I was a dumb kid and a relatively new driver, told me to cross my heart and promise I'd never do it again, and let me go. Enforcement is circumstantial and nobody's going to follow that rule if they're not aware that they could get in trouble for it.

>In law class he gave an email: in some states in the US there are very long stretches of road where you won't see anyone for awhile, and sometimes there are traffic lights on a straight road - with no intersection. He put forward to the question of what do you do if that traffic light is red when you come up to it? There's zero vehicles near you in either direction, there's no intersection to worry about cross-traffic, and so do you stop and wait for the light to go green, or do you go again even though it's red? I think every reasonable person would answer that they would go. E.g. A rolling stop in some circumstances isn't dangerous for anyone; and I also see police doing it all the time.

Many such stop lights exist because they provide a safe space to cross the road for pedestrians. In fact there are a few such lights near me in long stretches of road, among woods, that allow people walking through trails in the woods to cross the road. I stop at those lights every single time. Why? Because I don't know if someone has crossed yet. Could be that it's a family trying to cross the street, and they had to go back to the trail to corral a kid that wandered the other way and they'll be crossing the street in a second. Or, it could be a group of people - some of them have crossed, others are shortly behind and will be coming out in a second.

The point is that, often, I don't know what is or isn't there. And unless I know, I'm going to stop.

They're beautiful, but years ago I was on a white water river rafting trip and the guide knocked down any human generated rock art he would find.

The reason he said is it was hubris to insert your ego into other people's experience of nature. It distracted from what was already beautiful and transcendent.

I'm not exactly sure I fully agree with him, but when I go to the beach and see these installations, I do tend to see them as intrusions, rather than art.

Human drivers respond to incentives. Lax policing, lax drivers. Strong policing, speed traps, and bigger fines result in people driving better. It's not that people can't drive, it's just that they don't care to drive well, but they will drive well if the enforcement is frequent and heavy enough.
That's baked into the assumption of the script though. If your response is a copy and paste, who cares about the ones that ghost you after one message? Doesn't matter because the cost of interaction was quite low.

If they send the ball back after your initial response THEN you know you can open a conversation up until that point, just assume it is spam and you're spamming them back.
Oh, I don't know, maybe writing it so that it doesn't mean companies in the EU "basically have to cease all economic activity"?

Or writing it so that it doesn't claim to tell me what I have to do with my website when I live in another jurisdiction. I laugh at GDPR. The EU can keep its bureaucracy to itself thank you very much. Making simple websites illegal and forcing me to hire a lawyer to figure out not what I'm allowed to do, but how I must do it just so is just the sort of nonsense I've come to expect from them.

And yes, I agree that it is a continuation of the stupid cookie law that has made the web measurably worse in every regard. As I wrote here recently,

> What an utterly useless law. We have a convenient way for people to request universally that sites not track them. So let’s make a law that makes them have to ask “the right way” every. Single. Stinking. Site. On. The. Internet. Every. Single. Time. They. Visit. Every. Single. Site.
>
> One might be forgiven for assuming that the law was actually intending to accomplish the reverse of the stated goal. It gives site owners tons of explicit opt-ins that nobody can complain about, even though they were coerced.
Krydus | Sr. Frontend Engineer | Full-Time | Remote (US)

I'm Derek of Emerald AI (emerald-ai.info), and we’re building a platform to clean, balance, and annotate data for rapidly deploying Computer Vision (CV) models. We provide an intuitive flow that guides users to create the highest quality datasets which in turn create models that solve their problems. In the age of Deep Learning data is the code that programs AI and that is why we take a data centric approach. We use a combination of active, Bayesian, and meta-learning to make this possible with very little labeled data, as much as 100x less.

We are looking for someone experienced to take ownership of early planing, designing, building, and implementing the user interface and to be the team lead for our other frontend hires. You will work closely with both the backend developers who produce the APIs that you will use, and the Machine Learning team to develop a workflow and data visualizaitons that are finely tuned for our users. You’ll offer mentorship and guidance to your teammates on the best ways to design and implement software solutions across all of our products and you will be an experienced voice that helps define our systems architecture, technology stack and technology roadmap.

The team keeps things simple and functional. We take pride in combining professionalism, trust, and very few meetings. We are remote first and operate with async communications where possible. Currently we have employees in all US time zones including Hawaii, and work hours are very flexible.

Currently we are hiring a Senior Frontend UI/UX Engineer who has experience with React JS additional experience with graphs and data visualizations is a big plus.

You can email me at dgoddeau(at)krydus.com with "HN" in the subject.
It seems that it's also part of the default behaviour: https://twitter.com/digitalhen/status/1480230704520773632

It happens in all three modes Chill, Average and Assertive to different degree.
I suppose it is possible that a temporary contractor has an email address from that company, but I think you can get reasonably high signal by looking at their LinkedIn history. Switching positions every few months is a red flag. Even if they're an independent contractor, longer-term arrangements with each client suggest better relationships and better commitment to real outcomes.

I see plenty of recruiters who just work for recruiting firms and don't hide that fact. Anyone who won't immediately tell me who they're recruiting for gets ignored. I'm sure I end up talking to the occasional contractor but you can easily filter out a lot of obvious low-hanging (and rotten) fruit).
Yeah for me it's just about keeping Obj-C out of the project. It's enough to have two languages, I don't want to unnecessarily add a third.
I find that a lot of people working for a recruiting company actually make it clear in their email with the address or signature.

To some extent a contractor who working for the company I know ... I'd still consider that a direct company reaching out to me type situation that I'd be more inclined to respond.

I don't find that it is hidden all that often, but that's just my experience.
I think he meant that he dosen't have a huge professional network, just something slightly informal.

I don't think, "It's always been done this way." is as good of an argument as you think it is, especially considering the discrimination that takes place when you hire referrals over searching for the most qualified candidates.
