What do you look for in the answer for 3 to see if it's a good culture fit?

> Robocalls I assume are profitable to someone. Therefore they will always find a way around blockage.
False. Robocalls can be made unprofitable. Take a deposit from the sender before calling you, and if at your discretion you determined the call was spam, don't refund the deposit.
Robocalls aren't solved because phone software didn't add this feature.

If these companies set the wrong metric of success (in other words, if there can be better incentives) and these companies don't follow the better incentives, then better companies will arise.

How would you prefer comments to work?
Could comments be assigned some big weight that has the effect of the comment staying around high enough to clear the misconception?
Could each thread be allowed only a finite number of comments or words, to not disperse attention, with lower quality comments forced to disappear?
Could there be a fool-proof mechanism to force comments you know are wrong to disappear?
If a new site like HN or Reddit showed up, how would would like it work? I ask because I'm toying with the idea of one. Thoughtful beta users get in touch.

> 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 probably a cost threshold past which it becomes unprofitable to post bad comments with an agenda.

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.

xterm.js might help too.
Now I want something more. I want to be able to run localhost.run locally and give someone else an internet URL to connect to my local xterm, or to my local X display (vnc?). I want them to see my text editor and type stuff in it.

1. I got this
$ ssh -R 2000:localhost:8080 localhost.run
The authenticity of host 'localhost.run (35.171.254.69)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:FV8IMJ4IYjYUTnd6on7PqbRjaZf4c1EhhEBgeUdE94I.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -R 80:localhost:8080 localhost.run
Port 2000 is not allowed. Only port 80 and 443 are allowed.
3. Can you make it so someone can control my xterm? This could be a useful (and dangerous, but also useful) feature. Check out https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/butterfly

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