   I live in an old-money, hard earned neighborhood. People are a marvel: Respectful, polite, kind and always willing to assist if they can.

   I agree it isn't directly useful but I think that is good common knowledge to have and a little exposure can only help.

   This is a hard problem to which there are no easy solutions, only trade-offs to be made. Here I think that I strike a reasonable middle-ground providing I act in good faith.

   Mmh possibly, there might be a slight bias favoring them. The shorter the recruitment lifecycle and the quicker I can go back work on actual software engineering. But then again, I hire lots of software engineers who have 0 OSS contribution

    Do you mean does it matter what version controlling tool they use or if they self-host? or if I would favour a candidate over another because of an active Github repository?

    I am not filtering anyone. I use the signals that are available to me and which I can proof-check. Candidates who don't have public software forges (whether it is self-hosted Git, Gitlab, Github, or Bitbucket etc.) go through the usual

    Here is my take on hiring: an active Git repository with a decent amount of non-trivial code/projects generally gets applicants I have to evaluate to skip the whiteboard interview and instead grab lunch or coffee with me. We then discu

    Did you hear that Sam's grandma is a Trump supporter? What are you waiting for? Cut ties with HN, YC etc. Quick!

    Wow. This is the end of YC as we know it. They can't possibly recover from this. RIP YC.

    I agree with everything you said. But I am too curious as to what you think of the posted video. I hardly see how there could be manipulation considering the chunks of raw footage posted are always following a Q/A format.

    > acknowledge it's biased and draw your own conclusions. I think this is the soundest advice here. The formatting of the video makes it obvious that there is a partisan motivation behind this investigation. However , the video also

    I do not want to discuss it is ethical or not. I have an opinion on this but that's not the point here. Instead of judging the morality of this smear/psy-op operation, I take a contemplative approach and use this video as evidenc

    1/ Unless you have dumped massive datasets of classified USG data I fail to see how your situation is similar to Assange's. What might be coincidental for you is not when it comes to JA. 2/ Since you post on HN I guess you su

    Directly related to what you are saying, DNC consultants and execs caught on tape explaining how they plant fake Trump supporters at rallies to disrupt them or get negative media coverage. It is pretty interesting from: 1/ a partisan P

    It is not clear whether Assange is tweeting or a third-party is. For all we know, they could have stormed and the only information available to the person maintaining the Wikileaks twitter account is that Assange cannot be reached. The situ

    > that this might be US backed action I doubt the USG is involved in this. They have a pretty solid track record of both respecting human rights and due process. Keep in mind the US government is the most ethical government in the world.

    A correct response would be to let people think what they want as long as they do not threaten public order or support criminal activities. It is not up to you to decide what is right or wrong. >is morally reprehensible. And I think that
