At my first job in US I had about a year and a half of unused PTO accumulated. I gave my two week notice like a good team player I was and then left on the agreed upon date. I obviously didn't get any of the PTO paid to me and in retro

Putting aside the whole "why voting disenfranchisement is even a thing in the first place" argument, this situation should have been just — Sorry maam, it seems like you can't cast a ballot this time due to being on probation

What if their contract is to load paper into printer once every other week? Do they still deserve to be paid salary that'd allow them to rent property in one of the most expensive places in the country? That seems a bit idealistic, don

As a legal immigrant myself I'm baffled at how little typical American knows about immigration. Everybody's usually very surprised when you tell them that even the in the best case scenario a highly-educated specialist with a degr

In all mentioned cases the sex becomes sexual assault, which is a felony. It's very different from adult people consensually enjoying themselves.

I don't understand why nobody's pressing charges against Jackie. Seems to be a clear defamation case.

Removed the "open source" mentions. Sorry for the confusion. I didn't post it on Hacker News, I've just mentioned it in twitter for people who follow me. Didn't expect that much attention from HN.
