You really think Zuck's PAC will succeed? Right now the political climate is being more controlled by the right, and it seems they're dead set on combating any immigration reform of any sort anytime in the foreseeable future. I&#x

dang, I think HN has improved for the better, especially since some effort has been made to make things more transparent. But it would be despicably dishonest for you guys to deny that routinely you guys do things here to protect YC compa

Facebook, Microsoft and others do end up using consulting firms like Cognizant, which generally provide them H1-B immigrant workers. The conditions of their employment, at least in my eyes, are similarly predatorial in nature.
