argh, spoilers :(

Oh, drat - I'm sorry. I had assumed most HN readers would have seen the series already - it was on a while back, wasn't it? (We only just saw it in Australia, which is usually an indication that is has been on in the US about a year ago?!?)

You could edit it.

Thanks! I'm really tempted to post about the suffering, near-fraud and deceit in my company, but I figure it'll be all over the news soon.

You could share thoughts on Glassdoor, right? I would like to find (or create) a service where we can talk about the real dirt at companies. Encouraging honest accounts without disparagment is a hard balance. Building an identity and reputation system where reviews are trustworthy is hard, especially if you also want anonymity. Like many people, I've worked at places with big problems. In cases where friends apply, I…

I'm working on an encrypted chat system in JS, I'd lend my code and skills to such an effort.

Is it time to start holding Pink Slip Parties [1] again? [1] http://sfgirl.com/index_last.html

I went to one of those. It was hilarious.

Back in the day I went to first Tuesday and those with badges for VC/Investors got swamped.

I managed to nervously pitched to one guy and thought "he looks familiar" looked down and saw his name badge was a single word "rothschild" :-)

He looked like Nathan Rothschild (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Mayer_Rothschild) who was the UK's banker during the Napoleonic wars

Twitter is firing the people who worked on Vine. http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2016/10/27/twitter-strong-q3... Really love how you are doing the opposite for this thread. I guess It helps people get prospective on both sides :)

RE 'prospective', did you mean 'perspective'?

Must be out of time to edit :( don't see the option any longer (perhaps I don't have enough karma?)

I registered unicorngrill.com on a lark for exactly this, but I'm allergic to lawyers.

We need to see someone follow sci-hub.cc lead and put the server and public face in Russia.

As luck would have it I'm Russian.

Do you think it would take off if I would do it for real?

Should we poll the community in an "Ask HN" thread to see if people want this?

Not technically "firing" I suppose but all of the dev org in Atlanta and SF, including myself, were laid off at athenahealth last week. Something like 120 people. Sucks.

Wow. I interned at athenahealth Summer 2015 in SF. Hope things work out for you. Did you work on Epocrates?

I imagine that will be the RNC as well. Kind of a tradition in an election year ^_^

The head of the DNC was already fired from CNN for directly colluding with Hillary Clinton (she gave HRC questions for the democratic debates ahead of time). I have no idea how Bernie still supports her. She literally cheated against him to get the nomination. This is not speculation. It's direct evidence of corruption in the DNC (and it revolves around guess who---Hillary Clinton). http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/01/…

It's not cheating if that's how the game is played.
