About repartix

Building stuff. I like https://repowcha.com.

To create this account I recreated my Tor route three times because Google's Captcha kept saying I'm sending automated queries (not true). After I created the account and posted, I tripped some HN spam filter and had to ask @dang to whitelist me (dang said the defaults were tuned too high). I want to use the Internet anonymously and prove I won't abuse your service. I'm not a bot. I'm HUMAN -- dammit.

If something could kill HN, what could it be?

    > sales & engineering roles In the other comment you said sales & marketing roles. You just saw a candidate's video. How do you "find a culture fit"? What do you look for?

    This is too good to go unnoticed. Have you thought about making it a desktop app?

    Pay to post is harsh on the consumer. Pay to prove you're not a spammer is better, because you get your money back. I'm experimenting with a fix for this at repowcha. There's proba…

    Why can you not do this if you are hourly?

    Add cost to post the prediction. At high enough cost it can't be gamed. edit: and it's also your revenue.

    I want to know more about the book than what the page shows. It might help if the page shows in larger fonts what "We will look at", and maybe a teaser example as code.

    I wish the front page showed what I need to do to use it, without having to click or scroll anywhere.

    It's not a joke. rePOWCHA stops bots. If a bot automates sending the amount to get by the CAPTCHA, the bot won't be able to afford paying this amount at scale, because when you not…

    The anti-spam system is that the user has to pay to send you the message. If you ask for $50 per message, and the message is spam, you'll flag the message as "spam" which means you…
