#2The headline is actually So Say Some Computer Science Students, which I think is a non-trivial difference.

#3After Susan Fowler wrote her exposè on Uber's culture a couple years ago, many commented saying that they would have trouble attracting talent given their tarnished reputation. Did that ever happen in practice?

Blame HN's 80 character limit on titles.

#7On this topic: could someone tell me whatever happened since the "security incident" that they were "very sorry" for? Did they commit to making even a single tangible change to their coding practices to prevent millions of people's accounts from being hacked again? Or is it business, condolences, and hoping-the-wind-blows-past-quietly as usual?

#9> Ms. Brown said a lot of students criticize Facebook and talk about how they would not work there, but ultimately join. “Everyone cares about ethics in tech before they get a contract,” she said.
This describes my what I've observed perfectly. There are very few companies that make new grad offers comparable to Facebook's, and career advancement opportunities and working conditions at Facebook tend to be better than the other 'Big-n companies'. So it's hard for a new grad to say no to a Facebook offer, even if they're morally opposed to its products.

Yeah that's what I suspect too, but I most definitely have not...
