Don't bother sending me more spam. I've already filtered any emails from hn@ycombinator.com to be deleted upon receipt. If you're going to ban me, just ban me.

Either corporations are people--and will therefore be taxed as such--or they're not--and thus have no rights. Which is it?

And exactly how many people do you think have $1,500 laying around? (Hint: not many)

Not only do I not see a problem with this, but I don't think Twitter went anywhere near far enough. They should have suspended Trump's account well over a year ago.

Your President-Elect disagrees with you, and has called for the deportation of all Muslims--full stop.

That's a fair point. I wasn't thinking of contractors when I wrote my reply above. Hmmm, in that case, are there protections other than an NDA that are employed to minimize the risk of exposure of company data to a contractor&#x27

They take a cut from your employer. The employer pays the recruiter above and beyond what they are paying you.

by jackmaney 10y ago
No, they still took the cut directly from your pay. Sorry, but you were scammed.

Reputable recruiters charge employers, not candidates. Any so-called "recruiter" who takes their cut directly out of your salary (as opposed to charging the employer a percentage of a candidate's salary in a lump sum payment)

Who the hell works for a company (remotely or not) and uses their own equipment? I'm not a lawyer, of course, but a developer exposing their personal system to company data could be a significant liability risk to the company. In parti

No business has a fundamental right to exist. If you hire me for your HVAC business, and I manage to leave, build a competing business, and shut you down, then that isn't my problem. Your business never had a right to be free of compet

The First Amendment of the US Constitution (ie the relevant law at play here) mentions nothing about freedom of consequences from speech. And that is a good thing. The idea that such a freedom should exist is laughable.

Complete FUD. The rest of the world is not forced to use Facebook. Neither is anyone in the US. There is no such thing as free speech on a social network, nor should there be.

People are not "trolling" atom on performance. They are bringing up valid concerns. Atom runs fast enough on my MBP, but I could never get the packages and plug-ins to consistently play nicely with the corporate proxies and firewa
