Does anyone know what law governs ISAs? Like why would a Lambda school be able to forcibly collect income if a student tried to vanish without paying if they found a job?

Living in a country where you have no choice but to earn in a local currency with runaway inflation is objectively shittier.

Opendoor also has pretty negative reviews from everything I can find online. Would guess tech is hardly a component to this business - likely just some basic pricing models. Seems like the basic playbook is to lowball desperate homeowners,

Cities change...it’s the longing for days past that created the housing crisis in SF in the name of preservation. I’m not familiar with the exact building restrictions in West Village but I assume there’s strict height restrictions that hav

I recently learned from a recruiter that one license for one recruiter for LinkedIn is $10k a year, so that is what they are protecting.

It’s a “friendly authoritarian” surveillance state. It’s great if you obey the rules, but you sound like you lean toward libertarianism...Singapore is the complete opposite.

In SF sugary drinks are taxed extra. There are signs that demand for sugary drinks are on the decline naturally e.g. demand for sparking water has increased as people look for alternatives to drinking a coke. And there was a recent article

Wouldn’t be surprised if this guy ended up being a puppet for some larger entity this entire time ala Epstein.

It’s a gold rush town. People put up with a lot when there’s billions to be made.

This actually makes this announcement even worse. A $250k budget is an utter joke, so it begs the question if this was all done as a troll move toward the entire startup ecosystem in SF to get everyone riled up.

I don’t understand what this proves other than the individual risk tolerance of every fourth person you saw this weekend.

Yep. Can’t wear sandals anywhere either for fear of stepping into a used needle and contracting something.

Too comical. Scooters are a threat to society but not record level property crime, car break ins, and opioid addiction and mental health issues among the homeless

I’m not a gamer, but I imagine most are smart enough to see through this cringe-y PR disaster. Late Friday night dump of nonsense corporate speak is painfully predictable. This will do more harm than good. Yikes.

Other than eBay, guessing the reason why the payment cos are dropping out first is because they have the highest regulatory/compliance burden as is, and don’t need more scrutiny dealing with something they don’t even fully understand j

Just because you choose not to work on a project due to personal reasons doesn’t free you of the unethical or immoral things the company you chose to work for does. And if you actually believe it does then it only supports the argument that

I want to see the terms of service agreement. Does anyone know if you can sue for wrongful injury or death? Or do you waive your rights away to Google?

Immorality is subjective. McKinsey is hired to (maximize|minimize) some objective. The fact someone didn’t want to work on the Purdue Pharma opioid marketing project when McKinsey employs a fungible pool of thousands of consultants means no

A lot of good, decent human beings justify doing awful things in their day job. Wasn’t there just a post on here a few days ago about someone who worked at Capital One writing about how everyone working there justified getting poor people d

Selecting a few outliers and calling it a “trend” is ridiculous. Honestly I wish there was a stricter policy on HN for posting corporate content marketing puff pieces. These a16z blog posts do nothing more than hype companies in their portf

By far the most egregious example of western firms working with China are management consulting companies like McKinsey that work directly with governments on expensive contracts, including of course China. I mean, in those cases they are o

No. It completely depends on how you hold your crypto. If you are storing it on an exchange it’s completely up to the exchange to credit your wallet, which they don’t necessarily have an obligation to do.

This is actually fairly common now, unfortunately. Many reports of Uber drivers being tricked into getting their account hacked using this method to obtain the 2FA pin sent via SMS so they can drain their balance or switch the bank account

Airbnb search is terrible. I also can’t understand why they don’t let you save filters e.g. if I’m always searching for an entire place with 1 bedroom then let me save and apply that filter to every search.
