Rekaiden··on [dead]
No.
Rekaiden··on Ask HN: Does a master's in CS develop you into a better programmer?
No. It's not even that second thing.
Rekaiden··on Ask HN: Ghost my company? (Updated)
No. You had some respect for them (for some reason) and made this arrangement; stick to it.
Rekaiden··on Why do you use Firefox?
It's not Chrome.
Rekaiden··on Show HN: Wow, a mod here threatened to BAN me for supporting Trump
Well, maybe stop violating the HN guidelines. 'Most stories about politics' is the very first entry in off-topic discussion.
Rekaiden··on Is this an industry changing technology? tell us what you think :)
No.

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

Rekaiden··on Does this website efficiently explains it's purpose?
This is parody, right?
Rekaiden··on Are NCDs the next world pandemic?
No.
Rekaiden··on Loneliness: The problem technology elevated but hasn’t yet solved
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.
Rekaiden··on Ask HN: Which password manager do you use?
I use Firefox's saved passwords.
Rekaiden··on Ask HN: Burned out, depressed, cannot do anything
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.

Rekaiden··on Basic income is the worst response to automation
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.
Rekaiden··on I Didn't Get Hired. Here's Why
Saw that coming 2 posts ago.

But that completely wrong title really brings it something.

Rekaiden··on My redesigned landing page is only getting 4% conversion, what's wrong?
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.

Rekaiden··on Ask HN: Prefer job matching site to exclude 3rd-party external recruiters? Why?
Yes. In my experience such recruiters consume job-seekers' time without providing any increased chance at employment, and are of generally poor quality.
Rekaiden··on Ask HN: What service would you pay $1k/mo for?
A good place to live, not much else.
Rekaiden··on Ask HN: I am 30yrs and never had a full time job, now suicidal. Any life advice?
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.
