The API shows whether salary should be hidden or not and also contains the min/max salary, regardless of whether it&#39;s hidden or not.<br/><br/>When submitting an application, would it be immoral to use that information for the suggested salary field? 2026-10-06T15:27:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsx28hjh9n0fh2c96vvrvupes0qs5x98c3j8pp0gew3xrvqq029cwszyq0x5hlms20wrsmzlzcjza29phcrq0wxyr7cfdvrnucfewukf6lcvr94mz4 You don&#39;t see it terribly often, but one of my favorite grammatical aspects that gets used online is the pluralization of certain acronyms with an &#39;s, rather than an s or es. It&#39;s obviously incorrect, but it makes things very clear.<br/><br/>(I can&#39;t think of any specific examples right now, but surely people will put some in replies) 2026-09-29T12:12:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfyyaj339kj3arjmhky698hfvfns9xczu3snjypxqlvths03hk0kczyq0x5hlms20wrsmzlzcjza29phcrq0wxyr7cfdvrnucfewukf6lcvt9p8qw There&#39;s this parking garage I use, which lets you scan your ticket and pay on your phone. At the end, it gives you a barcode for the scanner to scan. All&#39;s good.<br/><br/>One day, I hadn&#39;&#39;t managed to get my phone out the window to let it get scanned before the arm opened. Weird, must be a pretty good scanner. That happened another time or two, pretty convenient, nobody likes to have to stretch way out of their car to scan a barcode.<br/><br/>The next week, I pulled up and before taking my phone off the mount, I turned back to tell my kid something, and...the arm opened. Wow, that&#39;s a great scanner.<br/><br/>The week after that, I decided to hold my phone in such a way that it couldn&#39;t be seen, and slowly lifted it up, but before my phone was visible to the scanner, the arm opened.<br/><br/>Another week, another barcode. This time, I left my phone on the mount. The arm opened.<br/><br/>Yet another week, I turned my phone away from the scanner before getting to the gate. I pull up and the arm opened.<br/><br/>Finally it hit me. I made it so that the scanner couldn&#39;t possibly see my phone. The arm opened.<br/><br/>My best guess is that when you visit the website, it grabs your Bluetooth and when you get to the gate, it sees that address and opens the arm.<br/><br/>I just checked the site and there are no Bluetooth permissions. I guess you don&#39;t need anything special for that? As with many things, you lose a bit of privacy for a bit of convenience. I don&#39;t know if I can even opt out of this (as per custom). 2026-09-25T16:24:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq6gvg45xvwkvantp0jy8psttdflp4pzf58vjeg9864tgvf9j9gaqzyq0x5hlms20wrsmzlzcjza29phcrq0wxyr7cfdvrnucfewukf6lcv77mme9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsglyu4e7f4e4m4lweawmm95nvt00s3ah3myga06gsnh55n464a3dcdj5873'>nevent1q…5873</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>only in an emergency 2026-09-23T11:03:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0r0g8y4wjnp52tfg5d28l0nvq82zxd5t6tehn500ytu2jzchm0cszyq0x5hlms20wrsmzlzcjza29phcrq0wxyr7cfdvrnucfewukf6lcv2dsm60 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqjwhnlj3kdgepg2qswmpqcdytj7rhefrprnjzcs423lswhwf7vlsx970gm'>nevent1q…70gm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>My kid will pop in occasionally just to say &#34;that&#39;s AI&#34;.
