Candidates would also have more information. They would have information about current employees and they could compare against their coworkers after they join.

If all of the above were true it would be great for new companies and great for consumers with the downside of being unreasonably expensive to the middlemen (car dealerships, grocery stores, etc.). I would say the same thing doesn't apply to internet companies. It's not unreasonably expensive for them to carry all websites and in fact they are making great profits. I don't think the internet companies gaining more profit (by not being neutral) is worth the consumer and new company benefits lost.

The other major issue is competition. All the above examples have a lot of competition, but internet companies are a lot of times monopolies and duopolies. The consumer has no choice but to use them.

What if your phone company charged you more to call/text specific companies or people? Or offered plans where you can only call specific companies for a reduced rate?

It would be very difficult for new companies to enter the market because people would not be able to call new companies, since they aren't under specific plans. The established players could effectively block new competition or make it incredibly expensive to enter the market.

This is very interesting, but I would love to know more details. Are they using something like Amazon Kinesis or Kafka to send events and handle missed events? What serialization format are the messages? How do they manage keeping the schemas of the events in sync?

You say you are creating a more performant NPM. Is it impossible to fix the current NPM? Why not submit fixes back to NPM? Why create a new project?

Are there any security implications for leap seconds? Do pseudo random number generators have any issues with 61 seconds in a minute?

    callbacks.forEach(Function.prototype.call.bind(Function.prototype.call));
It is just as long as the original and more convoluted, but much more fun.

Why not give it away? People come for the bootcamp and after the 12 weeks you represent them during their job search. The companies will pay you $5-15k, depending on the candidate, as a referral fee. No cost to the participants.

Very cool extension. Is there any way to use Clef/Walz to login on a phone?
