There are non-profit startups that really do geniune work. Do we let them pass? So many like DDG should we let them pass? What about Tor they do hire people to manage the project. Should we let that pass? What about research on cancer? Not saying LE is not important to get a little notice (it’s probably hard for anyone to notice their career page or whatnot to be honest), but we should be fair.

Yes, happy to let the org types you mentioned pass. Their benefit outweighs the hassle of someone hiding or skipping a post.

  Then we should now start fetching them begin to post them on HN. There is a reason we don’t do that because we can have maybe a hundred to post here as independent submissions. It is lucky enough there is whoishiring submission every month. This is not a job posting website. If people really believe in this pass. I will start posting a dozen of them, you cool? Let’s not make an exception from an exception.

    But this is a job postings website: https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs And when you ask if it’s cool if you post a dozen, that’s up for readers and mods to decide, not myself and my opinion. I’m even happy to champion the cause of connecting more readers with jobs available; a rising tide lifts all boats. Edit: perhaps HN could add a “showjobs” flag similar to “showdead” for those who don’t want to see a slew of job postings? It seems silly that we’re quibbiling over a bit of data and it’s visibility.

      HN is funded by a venture and they have the right to promote startups they have funded. That is something we cannot change. I don’t agree with certain rules on HN but what can I do? I am arguing we can’t turn this site into a job website simply because we make exception for the so-called “public benefits”.
