I use privacy.com quite often. It's a useful and good service. But some sites that you would want to use this service for explicitly block it (e.g, Bloomberg seems to do this). There's also a small number of other sites that I&#

I managed engineers in Silicon Valley for many years, although I've been retired for awhile. The problem with H1B visas (at least when I was a manager) was that there was a quota and it was about 3x oversubscribed: so most applicants w

Regardless of the meritoriousness of Sam Altman's startup, I find at admirable that the admins allow these kind of discussions about Y Combinator to go on. There is so much outright censorship on the internet these days. It would be
