I don't believe HN should be front paging anonymous content without some proof of having worked at Uber.

  The front pageness is a function of the credibility and interestingness of the articles posted. HN is not journalism, it's a water cooler. There's some rules for decorum but little to no editorial function.

    > The front pageness is a function of the credibility and interestingness of the articles posted. did you mean to say "is not"?
    • wyldfire 10y ago
      No, I meant "is". Though, to clarify, I meant credibility-in-the-eye-of-the-upvoter.

        Oh, ok. Gotcha.

  It is totally understandable why she chose to be anonymous. I would let the readers decide, if they find any content shared on HN useful or not.

  So, people should only bring up horror stories about their workplaces if they also expose themselves to legal or extra-legal retaliation?

  I don't think people should be allowed to comment without some proof of being a person.

    I'm pretty sure everyone who's commenting here is a person, AI hasn't come this far.

  I'd rather have it there. Sure, there's no supporting evidence, but I want those still working at Uber to read it. They're in the position to decide whether it accords with their experience. Sometimes it can be hard to see what's in front of your face.

  I don't necessarily agree, but I don't think this comment should be downvoted to oblivion. It is worth keeping in mind that these allegations are being made anonymously. That said, given the level of detail and the consistency with other reports we've heard, I think this report sounds pretty credible.
