- ForrestN 8y agoThanks for the downvotes for literally posting a question I've asked interns in the past. Always important to remember the reflexive cultural conservatism of HN's audience.
- jimcsharp 8y agoHave you gotten any meaningful answers from your interns?
- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoI didn't down-vote you, but I should mention that your first post's phrasing led me to assume you were making a snarky critique of current culture, rather than sincerely answering the question.
- ForrestN 8y agoI don’t think it’s actually snarky at all, though.
- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoBased on how you intended the post to be read, I agree it's not snarky. Taking the post to be snarky was one fundamental aspect of my misinterpretation.
- dang 8y agoOne reason the site guidelines ask you not to complain like this about downvotes is that often, by the time the dust settles, people have given more upvotes. Then in addition to being off-topic, the complaint is misleading. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- edjw 8y agoDo you pay your interns?
- sadamznintern 8y agowho the hell doesn't??
- krageon 8y agoA surprising amount of companies do not (or pay them a symbolic amount) and think it is completely normal. It's ridiculous, but it happens nonetheless.
- replies_to_all 8y agoYeh, not in the sciences
- ForrestN 8y agoYes
- jongold 8y agoI have no idea why you're being downvoted for this.
