But how would you deal with it? If it's not Wikileaks or TSA, there will be some other topic that is borderline offtopic to HN. It's not feasible to start implementing content-based filtering IMHO. The HN will eventually devalue and be repl

I think it's perfectly fine to see this on HN. Much better than endless TSA stories around Thanksgiving. Unlike these it actually provides some interesting detailed information about something from a person with intimate knowledge of the ma

Interesting that you waste so much "productive time" that you claim you value so much arguing about those things on HN. It's not like HN exactly attracts the crowd that will write next banking regulations, is it? Then what's the point of ha

that's ridiculous. potential of the company is not about who owns the stock or how much cash changed hands in the process. having been part of one particular exit I know all too well that startup founders and ex-employees have deep emotiona
