sure. Not making excuses for any business decisions by newspaper management, just pointing out that that their criticism of the tech industry isn't out of character with a company …

the editorial bias from management of NYT has always been skeptical of Google and Facebook and perhaps all of big tech because big tech was a threat to their business. Most newspap…

to be fair i would guess that a lot of the engineers there are also stuck because of visa issues. plenty of sychophants too i’m sure.

you don't think there are exceptions to the formula of LSAT/GPA? who do you think those exceptions are made for?

very funny to write an article about the crisis in the legal system without addressing how it is a pretty good example of almost complete elite capture by a few top law schools who…

more than ten tweets from Sam in this thread and he doesn't mention that public colleges used to be essentially free, but now cost enough to put students into crippling debt. And t…

I'm curious what people here think of all the healthcare startups that many of you likely get recruiter emails from regularly. Aside from the ethical questions of making money in t…

wild how different the prices are, but I guess that's what happens when a lot of buildings only have one or two providers. No fios available for me, but I'm paying $70/month for op…

you get that price in NYC?

a coalition of groups in New York City is also pushing for a municipal broadband option: https://internetforall.nyc/

yeah I live in New York and I definitely went to more protests this summer because they were happening literally right outside my apartment than I would have if I had to deal with …

I'm being downvoted too lol, politics on HN are so ridiculous.

do you not remember when all of cancel police on twitter got mad at Bernie for accepting Rogan's endorsement in the primary? he can call himself whatever he wants that doesn't mean…

I think the "wide spectrum" part is really important. I'm on the far left by American standards and Rogan still has a lot of interviews that interest me even though I think he's mo…

right right, it was confusing to me that they mentioned COBRA but it does sound like Airbnb is paying, which is good.

oh I might be confused about the COBRA situation actually. I can't tell if Airbnb is actually paying for COBRA. aside from that, assuming that non-engineers get paid better at Airb…

ah you might be right. wording confused me.

it's generous by startup standards, but laid off kickstarter employees are getting an even better deal because they unionized: four months full pay for everyone, up to six months o…

for everyone praising the severance package, laid off employees at kickstarter are getting even more severance and full healthcare (not COBRA) because they unionized: https://twitt…

lol imagine being a simp online for the actual richest man in the world. Amazon consistently resists unionization efforts, makes workers work at a furious pace, offers almost zero …

it's really rich to read a blog post from someone at YC wishing "the federal government was doing much more". YC and the extended universe of VCs have spent years providing an inte…

The sentence that I posted is false, not biased. There is a difference.
