If an article only contains financial details, gossip, unverifiable rumor, or rambling incoherent editorials, then I don't think it belongs at the top of HN. Linkbait headlines are how TC articles get there.

That brings up a good related question: does the average SV tech salary afford you a decent quality of life? What's the point of a 6 figure starting salary if you can't afford a house and need to commute for an hour just to scrape by?

During one of the biggest entrepreneurial booms in history, what exactly is going on in your mind during such meetings?? Get out while you can. Join a startup, start a startup, anything, just get out.

Why do all jobs have to be posted at one time once a month? There is already a "JOBS" tab at the top of HN. Why not just let other companies post to that page. You can still emphasize YC companies, stick them at the top for 30 days, and

Microsoft was just hedging their bets. Development of IE was specifically to take Netscape down. Once they had won a majority of the web browser market they put it into Windows-style "churn" mode, where they release new garbage versions w

No, the burst will come after the Facebook IPO when they can't find a way to make the $5,000 per user per year that their stock valuation will suggest it can earn. When Facebook stock crashes and it's plastered all over the news, that'll b
