As with all of HN's rules, you need to understand that rule from the spirit and not just the letter of the law. The intention is to avoid general prosecution of everything/anything about a company, because hiring posts are not a good context for that. Otherwise what happens in a large, open forum like HN is that simply the appearance of a name begins to attract every grievance or accusation or concern that's floating…

If you're going to prevent me from responding and having my response visible, then go ahead and just delete my original comment. I have, of course, personally read all these justifications for the rule before, but they do nothing to address my question.

If you're talking about your sibling comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22247530, it was flagged by users. I didn't see it, nor did any other moderator touch it. I'll unkill it and reply now.

The problem here is there's no way to know the "spirit" without knowledge of its history. Why not just say what you mean, instead? If the desire is "no replies that are or might spark a controversy", then why doesn't the rule say that? Better yet, go all the way and forbid replies entirely. That achieves the same stifling of conversation, in this one context where it's deemed "terrible", without the enforcement that…

I get that you feel strongly against this rule and how we choose to moderate the Who Is Hiring threads. But we've been over this at least three times, for over a year now, and I'm not sure what else to say. I don't see anything new to respond to here. You just strongly disagree. That's fine; I understand your argument and it's a good one; it's just not as strong, in my mind, as the opposite consideration. It's my job to make this call, so I've made it. Continuing to prosecute the case is unhelpful, and escalating like you've just been doing is particularly so.

Thanks for your work!Great to see location restrictions - a large chunk of remote jobs are restricted to US, and not remote far enough for us here, in Europe. I like that you clearly show this information on jobs.

Our mission is to protect people and companies from social engineers who are waging information warfare against us. Our team knows the dirty little secrets that power the campaigns of these social engineers, cyber criminals, and nation-state hackers.

What you will do if you put on a developer hat: ● Design and implement creative and intuitive approaches to help companies and people stay ahead of (or away from) cyber criminals ● Build a Saas platform from the ground up that protects personal information and miraculously serves and organizes insights to help people protect themselves ● Architect integrations to accelerate our tools to the rapidly evolving cyber-security battle, which, unfortunately, now involves individuals.

What you will do if you put on a data science hat: ● Build a machine learning platform from the ground up - all the way from data ingestion to labeling to deployment. ● Architect tools to capture human behavior using the most computationally efficient and lossless approaches. ● Design the most creative approaches to interface with multiple systems.

If you love DevOps: Help us stitch together services across AWS, GCP, and other cloud (decentralized) infrastructures.

We are a clean energy company. We build our own batteries and aggregate them and other third-party energy storage devices on a Virtual Power Plant to optimise their behaviour and maximise savings for the end customers. In doing so we provide part of the flexibility that the Grid needs in order to maximise the usage of renewable energy and to unlock mass adoption of EV technology. Our mission is to manage the world's batteries.

You will be joining a small, focused and collaborative team of talented developers that act autonomously to provide the features that the company needs to succeed in its mission. Those include any subset of:

  - Solving complex optimisation problems, using machine learning and other often bespoke algorithms.
  - Building the required platform infrastructure to ingest and process big streams of data in real-time, using AWS primitives.
  - Designing and implementing the business logic to expose our functionality via APIs and UI interfaces, using functional programming and serverless computing.
  - Developing the software for our iot devices including optimisation on the edge and integrations with third-party energy storage devices, using embedded Linux and Rust.

You will be encouraged to work and grow your knowledge on multiple parts of the stack according to your personal interests and abilities. Our team has a strong tradition of using functional programming and type systems to build pragmatic and flexible systems to satisfy business requirements.

I do disagree with the rule, but I fear you're having a knee-jerk reaction either to me or to any criticism of the rule and thereby missing my point, which I don't believe you've addressed at all:

If you can explain in a short, simple sentence what the broader purpose of the rule is, then do so in the rule itself. Brevity may be the soul of wit but, but I expect a higher standard than rule wittiness from HN. The https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html do this fine.

Wouldn't you rather have compliance than enforcement?
