As a car enthusiast, while I absolutely despise the driving dynamics of a Prius I deeply appreciate that it and other hybrids have had such a positive impact on cars. Hybrids are now becoming the standard for next gen drivers cars and are h

My point is the ease of abuse. None of us have used it or seen any evidence of abuse via their platform - we shouldn’t judge something before it’s had a chance to prove itself. That said - I absolutely totally agree with your sentiment abou

Yeah, it’s not terribly consistent what they require. I do agree they need to call it out more clearly :)

That’s an excellent question and one I would expect and answer for posted pretty clearly on the site. Probably a similar process, and I would also expect some sort of stats around rejected calls akin to spam stats in email platforms like Ma

(Replying to pavel_lishin - thanks for being civil!) I get where your coming from, as we’ve seen a lot of the moving fast / breaking stuff. However, do we blame FB for someone misusing it? Do we hold YouTube responsible for what people

Fair. I was referencing the demo and the ToS makes it clear you must have an Established Business Relationship, which means I’m this case it wouldn’t be truly cold as there is a lead and permission to call involved.

Just because we hate those damn robe calls doesn’t mean this isn’t a valid, high quality product. Look at the TOS and you can see that they are very strict about how they allow customers to use the platform. Before considering something amo

Shallow dismissals are agains the guidelines as noted in my other comment. I’m all for not liking something, but we shouldn’t do it with a wave of the hand. We’re better than that.

My issue is that you made a blanket judgement of something with seemingly little input or reasoning. Why do you feel that way? Go into some detail at the very least, instead of just dismissing it out of hand. The security questions could be

I see a lot of criticism of this product by referencing it as a telemarketing solution - it is not. These are not cold calls: they are inbound leads that you have to source and have permission to call. If someone fills out a lead form on yo

While your commentary around privacy and security is valid (they could indeed reference that more clearly), referring to them outright as an “Amoral SaaS service [you] kind of want to die” is extremely judgmental and out of place on HN.

Excellent point - it’s the rolling resistance indeed. I pointed out the size for reference (easier than saying 480,000 lbs rolling resistance :)

Yep. Modern yards today are pretty efficient affairs and are designed for safety from the ground up. Compare those photos to Union Pacific’s Global III yard in Illinois: https://www.hanson-inc.com/portfolio/Union-Pacifi

A 30,000 ton ore train in Brazil will take about that long to stop, due to the nature of that weight strung out over 2.5 miles of distance. That said, I think an emergency stop (air loss) would stop it faster.
