Tailor your free speech for who is watching, or else you could get into trouble. Welcome to the new America that our fear of terrorism built.


I was watching 'Garrow's Law' yesterday. He said that "Laws which are passed in times of fear, are rarely removed from the statute books". Terrorists always win, because every time they attempt to strike the Government removes our basic liberties under the guise of protecting us.


Well, Norway is dealing with their attack quite well.


From the original article in the NYT, this story is from 2009?


This is fucked up. Not the only YC company I know that has done this to a designer, I really hope this gets voted up.


Super long, condemning article that points out hyper-hypocrisy, then I get to this. We’ve reached out to Apple to see whether a licensing arrangement has been reached for this graphic…but we doubt it. So, what we have here is someone who took the time to write all of that and not even fucking fact check first. I also doubt Apple licensed their artwork, but you can't fucking post shit like this before you know for sure.


You need to relax, buddy!


I worked at a social media marketing agency for a few months, when I went out of town I gave my manager my login information because my clients would sometimes direct message me instead of email (annoying). A few weeks after returning, some of my new messages would already appear open, and Facebook asked me if I logged into my account from a PC ( NEVER!!) at a different location than normal ( near my managers house). I was upset and went to her boss, they said she was just doing her job and that she had every right to check up on company communication.


You gave them access to your account, and were surprised they used it?


I think the expectation was that the company would stop checking the account after his return, but failing to change your password was a big mistake.


Is there a list somewhere of the companies that do this? If i knew a company required it's applicants to do this, i would be much less likely to shop there.


It would probably be 20% if we didn't sit at our desks all day looking at Hackernews.



PayPal is what happens when you have a completely unregulated financial industry. They act like a bank, but they have no responsibilities like a bank. Somebody needs to find out what PayPal 'is' and slot it under some existing regulatory agency.
