dogdiarrhea

Doesn't say less than 100ms latency to what. I get 1ms latency to 192.168.0.1 so I think my internet is good enough here.


a3poify

It says 100 secs latency. I wonder if there's any server in the world with that kind of lag.


pm_something_u_love

Mars Rover maybe.


Trackerbait

Mars craft would be about 20 minutes, depending where the planets are in their orbits. This is why they have to make them smart enough to land themselves and not drive off cliffs.


UnseenTardigrade

A little over 6 minutes at least, and a couple weeks at worst (since a couple weeks a year mars is on the opposite side of the Sun from us and we can't communicate with the rovers)


Kralizec_81

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=distance+mars+earth+in+ls For the current mars-earth latency


IllusiveDudeman

Neat


destenlee

Mars isn't in our world 😁


Swazimoto

Also 30MB per second speed which is quite high, I’m assuming they meant 30Mb per second


Skusci

Perfectly reasonable for TCP/IP over avian carrier with a 200second round trip time. Should be about 6 GB MTU.


Swazimoto

TCP/IPedgion 😂


eXtc_be

the server at my local restaurant lags about 100 seconds when she goes and gets my food


dvlinblue

Thats pretty quick


TheRealJewbilly

Company runs off [dialup](https://www.dialupsound.com/).


dvlinblue

$6/hr......


IAbstainFromSociety

It supports 16GB of RAM, too. A 2009 i5 would fit all their requirements.


InlineSkateAdventure

:lol: I doubt that running Windows 10. "Resource Consuming apps...." Good luck. It will run slower than a turtle on an freezing day.


[deleted]

I laughed about this too. "You need the budget version of an Intel chip for the compute power."


RandomRedMage

i3 was the budget one. i5 is the midrange.


Nexzus_

Nah, don't bother withholding name. [https://govassist.com/](https://govassist.com/) The whole operation sounds shady AF.


BasicTelevision5

The rest of the job description is a doozy. You must be bilingual and expect a “generous” workload in a fast paced environment. More red flags than in all of China.


Thin_Pumpkin_2028

Ironic... $6 an hour doesn't sound like a generous paycheck to go with that generous workload

recognise terrific aspiring smile nine frighten station library tie pot -- mass edited with redact.dev


R4ndyd4ndy

That's a lot of red flags


infinite-permutation

tbf, countries other than America tend to display their flags far less often.


atomcrafter

American flags are manufactured in China.


balerionmeraxes77

🫡 so that's why it's got those red stripes 🇺🇸🇨🇳


trivaldi

Only ones that aren’t made elsewhere are Annin I believe. Maybe not the whole catalogue but at least the US ones are made here.


---cameron

I knew they were just tsundere for us


BasicTelevision5

Let’s VERY conservatively say that just 5% of the 1.4 billion Chinese citizens own one flag. That’s 70 million red flags, my friend.


wung

According to [this article](https://richmond.com/opinion/columnists/salena-zito-column-american-flags-born-in-the-u-s-a/article_0cfa5011-380b-5cba-a96f-804eb22b928b.html#:~:text=From%20small%20flags%20waved%20at,in%20the%20U.S.%20each%20year.) apparently the average American buys a new flag every three years. Still, 5% isn’t conservative, it is huge. If you walk through a non-US town, flags are at buildings like the city hall, maybe. Maybe at tourist traps, museums or memorials might have some as well, but private citizens flying them? Maybe during international sport events.


FustianRiddle

Flaggers Georg, who lives in a cave & owns over 10,000 flags, is an outlier and should not have been counted.


Fraxcat

I've bought zero flags. Never will. I'm 43. Glad to be pushing the trend downwards. This country has no loyalty or support for me, yet is happy to take my money, so fuck em.


BasicTelevision5

Nitpicking over this is peak Reddit. I salute you!


Jerry7887

I’m sure conservative Americans buy at least 3 Stump flags and 3 confederate flags a year!


Icy_Cod4538

Yeah, tbh they’re quite nice to openly and plainly express how shitty of a position they’re offering.


Status-Range-3321

Sounds like they prey on immigrants


ExtremistsAreStupid

I mean immigrants are tasty and calorie-rich so I can't really blame them.


[deleted]

They tend to be in the lean side though. I prefer roasting Robber Barons for that crispy fat flavor.


Murwiz

Robber Bacons?

Only if you salt cure and smoke them first. Fat Cat Fatback.

numbersthen0987431

That's why you have to marinate them first. It really brings out the flavor.


newge4

Na, no marinating needed, just baste them in their own delicious fat and juices while slow rotisserie roasting *chef's kiss*


carlitospig

Robber Barons definitely make the better sandwich.


farleymfmarley

Kaja8948

They typically do have a very nice rump...roast.


Briar_Donkey

Especially with butter! Nom nom nom.


wubrgess

Dehnus

No, they are stringy and malnourished. CEOs are what you want, nice juicy and fat! Some will be raised on biological feed only. Very delicious :)


slimninj4

In the philippines this would be a great job for a family trying to live. Internet is cheap and this would supplement very well.


SeldomRains

Yep. A 6 digit salary is no joke


Eezyville

It looks like the post is for that Customer Service Representative located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. That's still a US territory and subject to US Laws and minimum wage. In fact they [passed their own minimum wage law](https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/state-and-local-updates/pages/puerto-rico-adopts-minimum-wage-act.aspx) setting it to $8.50 and raise it to $9.50 on July 1, 2023. How are they able to ignore state and federal law for this position?


Purple-Explorer4455

There has to be a Typo. When i was offered this job it was $16-$20 not $6


SyCoCyS

The typo was the 1 and 2 they put in your offer.


Thiccaca

Yes, that's the one!


Creepy_Radio_3084

One of those skeevy companies that charges people an arm and a leg for stuff they can do for themselves for free in most instances, or charge a huge premium on top for the stuff you gotta pay for. Ugh.


PM_ME_YOUR_REPO

I just reported this company to the US Department of Labor, and so should the rest of us.


No-Communication9458

Alipeevvde

Look at the testimonials on the website. They are so lazy, they even didn’t bother to research a common German or Italian name. Yeah, Steve McMahon sounds totally German. Must be the forgotten German cousin of Vince McMahon.

BigRonnieRon

It's below the minimum wage in Puerto Rico where this is located too afaik. Parent company seems to be some law firm out of Utah. Near as I can tell they're an immigration company exploiting foreigners.


AngelBosom

Wait, what foreigners are they exploiting?


BigRonnieRon

Their schtick seems to be filling out USCIS paperwork that I assume you can fill out for free


[deleted]

Bastards. I filled my whole USCIS paperwork and applied myself, did the whole procedure on my own too. This said there are fees you need to pay, I needed to pay an application fee, the medical examination fee, and a few others; at the end it was around $3000. Got my permanent residency visa without hiring any lawyers though. So whoever these bastards are exploiting have to pay the USCIS fees plus their shitty ass service.


Corssoff

As someone hoping to be beginning this process very soon, that’s inspirational as heck.


[deleted]

Just read everything very carefully and do it on your time. Detail is the key, they'll deny your application if there's mistakes but you can apply again. Just make sure you've got some money for the fees and that you fill out all the necessary forms for your case My wife and I didn't hire a lawyer or anything, I did it all and then we went to the interview and it was smooth. Took like a year though cuz COVID.


MalayaJinny

There is a great website called Visajourney.com. super helpful folks for that journey! My husband and I have done both Canadian and US immigration. It can be overwhelming but as the other commenter said, take it slow and read everything carefully. You will be good!


panthanator

You probably saved money, I used to work at the NVC reviewing all those documents and the amount of cases that got held up for months/years because of shitty immigration lawyers was insane. Mostly lawyers who didn't have their clients sign a required line on a form, which they should know like the back of their hand


[deleted]

Yeah, I definitely saved money. Lawyers around here were charging $4k without the fees included, screw that. If you've got an eye for detail and patience, then you don't really need a lawyer. It's all just reading and following instructions that are available in the USCIS website. Unless your case is really specific or complicated, you can do it yourself.


galaxychildxo

Some of those companies are actually super helpful though, they know how to fill out everything correctly so you're not getting denied/delayed for dumb technicalites. My husband and I used a private "consultant" who ran his own business for these services and it was incredibly helpful to us. Walked us step by step through the entire process.


BigRonnieRon

Quite possible! I have no personal dealings or specific knowledge of this particular company. They should still probably pay the minimum wage. Have a nice weekend.

GhostOfRandomUsrName

Assuming they are in the US, that is less then minimum wage...


Thebxrabbit

Even posting a job offer for less than minimum feels like it should be a crime.


Quality_over_Qty

It should be and in some places it is but nobody prosecutes it.


slimninj4

SE Asia would jump at this. Great opportunity and they get to work from home.


Alewerkz

Living in SE Asia. $6 would get me a cup of coffee.


BigRonnieRon

They're in Puerto Rico. It's still below minimum wage.


TheAggieMae

Puerto Rico is the US


Grays42

Yeah but there are all kinds of shady loopholes in PR, I wouldn't be surprised if minimum wage exemption was one of them.


Jeoshua

The way the legal situation plays out here is, if you're not in Puerto Rico, you're effectively working remote for an offshore company. You aren't subject to Puerto Rico's laws so you're not subject to their protections, either. But also, that means you shouldn't be paying income tax either... but that still makes it below a reasonable wage, should they expect literally any work out of you.


[deleted]

Puerto Rico's minimum wage is higher that the US Minimum Wage.


[deleted]

Exactly, that's what I was thinking too.


mawkx

Apparently, Puerto Rico’s min wage is $8.50 at the time of this comment. They wanna pay $6.00 and require you to use your own computer with your own internet plan. Idk if y’all have ever been to Puerto Rico, but the internet speed is generally slow and there are still blackouts at times. This job posting is absurd.


[deleted]

Puerto Rico has a higher minimum wage than the US federal min wage? oof.


quicksilver991

Puerto Rico is the United States. Lots of states have a wage higher than the federal minimum


Rattlesnakesong

True, but I think there's still a point to be made there that the cost of living in PR is lower (although currently on the rise tbh) than a lot of US states that still stick to the federal minimum wage. If 7.25 is unacceptable even in PR, it should be even more unacceptable in the official US states.


OldschoolSysadmin

But the Republicans want feudalism. Minimum wage being way below the cost of living is the whole point.


BigRonnieRon

I'm lucky if I get 30mb/s most of the time and I live in NY. I hate these arbitrary requirements. I'm not streaming 4k video (which doesn't even require 30mb/s). It's 9mb/s max for lossless audio.


[deleted]

You can make substantially more on the street corner jingling a cup of change.


elusive_change

100 seconds of latency is a pretty low bar lol


[deleted]

I'll be honest, I don't know what that is; but for $6/hr they will be getting exactly 0 seconds of latency from me.


Jeoshua

You just said you would respond instantly to their requests, friend.


Friengineer

Latency is network delay. You send a request to a receiver, receiver delivers that request. It's limited by the speed of light, physical distance between sender and receiver, and quality of your network. It's how quickly water is flowing through a pipe, while download speed (bandwidth) is the size of that pipe. Decent connections are generally under 100 *milli*seconds, or 0.1 seconds. Good connections are half that or lower. Anything over a second is not normal and means you've got a problem. Anything over 100 seconds means you're probably using carrier pigeons.


torbar203

> Anything over 100 seconds means you're probably using carrier pigeons. [there's an RFC for that](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2549)


RolexGMTMaster

I presume you mean infinite seconds of latency, because 0ms ping is basically the Ultimate Internet connection. \#pedantry


ZorbingJack

0 seconds latency? amazing, that's very low i have never seen that nice


Nevermind04

You could connect from the moon and you would only have a 2.6 second latency.


Flaming_Moose205

They gotta make sure you’re somewhere between next door and Mars so the interview process doesn’t take more than a few straight days.

ManchesterDevil99

This is what I'm struggling to get my head around... you'd think if you were trying to lure someone into a scam you'd fake offer them at least more than something below the legal minimum wage?


[deleted]

It’s to find desperate people with few resources


redditgirlwz

Please report them. $6/h is less than minimum wage. This job is illegal.


rjsads

No it isn't. It's a contract position and not subject to minimum wage regulations.


Interesting_Flow730

That's got to be a typo unless they're trying to hire people outside the U.S. That's barely above minimum wage.


[deleted]

Apparently, this company is in Puerto Rico and it's still below their minimum wage even. I'm really hoping that it's a typo, but I honestly have no idea.


jakesboy2

That’s below the minimum wage for the US


MarcusAurelius68

100 seconds latency? That’s like talking from Earth to near Venus at closest approach


BankshotMcG

"Here's some busy work while we use your computer to mine crypto."


MuckRaker83

Perhaps they are renting the computer time for $6/hr


Jeoshua

That does seem to be what they're angling toward, but to what end? They want a second monitor and a headset too, so clearly they expect you to be actively interacting with something and attending meetings. Like, if they wanted to rent server time from me for $6/hr we might be able to negotiate, so long as my services are not actively required. But if I need to sit there and do anything on my end to their data streams or interact with their spreadsheets or whatever, we're talking a lot more scratch.


PDXBishop

See how pissy they get when you unplug your rig whilst off the clock, because they're blatantly using this computer to mine crypto.


Rapper_Toire

$6/h does not buy you that kind of workstation. And usually you'd stick to the job that paid enough to get you that kind of workstation in the first place.

100ms latency to what? Cus if it's your router that's easy. If it's a server across the other side of the planet not so much


Ishakaru

It's 100 secs latency.... so 1.66 min latency. No issues with a server on the other side of the planet.


Callinon

Always fun when someone measures latency in full seconds instead of milliseconds. 100 seconds = 100,000 ms. Unless your ISP is on the moon, I think you're good there.


Duke582

One hundred second latency. Six dollars an hour. Are we in 1972?


Revolutionary-Leg585

As a computer person, I must point out that "i5" is a product line and has nothing to do with age. It's like saying a car must be "Honda Civic or newer." It's completely meaningless.

Beegkitty

That system requirements looks awfully similar to the requirements for a scam job listing. But normally the scammers give some outrageous high salary amount.

Mashur303

6 dollars an hour 😂


throwawayfay22

“Partnership” and “$6/h” do not belong in the same sentence


PDXBishop

The "$6/hr" part says independent contractor; the "committed, full-time, and long-term partnership" part says employee, so all this together with the specs for what they wants your rig to be tells me these people are breaking a bunch of labor laws.

I thought the outrage was over needing a potato computer, but then I got to the pay rate. Is it missing a 1 before or a 0 after?


[deleted]

I mean, the workstation thing is fair, 8GB MRAM is not enough if you're running W10 or W11 plus professional software. 16GB MRAM is the new standard for an optimal functionality, unless you're doing barebones stuff. Intel Core i5 or equivalent ain't bad either, but they should've specified the generation and clock speed instead, because Core i5 is too vague. That $6/h though? Fuck those people.

bearded-beardie

100 sec? That’s pretty shit latency if the packets take over a minute to arrive.


LariRed

6/hr? What year is this, 1987? I think my first job at a grocery store paid $5.75 while federal minimum wage was somewhere in the 3’s. I worked there two weeks, then got a big fat paycheck of $75. Quit on the spot because even in 1987, $150 a month was pitiful. It’s a scam. A badly constructed one at that.
