Does Softbank have more than ~$10bn to lose here, or is that it? Are there any extra liabilities they've underwritten?

I loved the article, but even if it were valued at $0, would that decimate and "shutter" the Vision Fund?

Right, hold the most clandestine organizations in the world to the same standards as petty theft. Do we really expect the NSA to be trailing HN in knowledge on zero-day vulnerabilities?

I dislike that we can't downvote.

That's it people! They've cured spam. We can all go home... right?

Not all pilots have the choice.

I've been doing this too. I'm also doing this with NYT, WSJ, FT -- all publications behind higher and higher paywalls, all publications I tried, but ended up leaving because they still serve you ads on their mobile apps.

Now the question is this: if I didn't care or it wasn't worth reading, why did I click on it in the first place?

Perhaps I don't care about this content as much as I thought anymore. Maybe we've been addicted to reading content, rather than actually making use of most of the content anyway.

PS: I'm trying out The Guardian now. No ads for premium users on mobile.

2017.

I should not have expected it to be with all the other financial reports. Totally my bad. Thank you!

People who work hourly are in the same boat and come to work sick.

I love it.

But, the first thing I clicked was the transparency report.

> We publish ... with a delay of 6 weeks ...

But the last report is from October 2018.

Otherwise great stuff, truly inspirational.

I wish they finally could so I could stop being held hostage through multiple rounds of visual recognition tests -- how long is it going to take me to prove I'm human when I'm senile?

Sounds like the industry responding with "we cant really know guys, right?" I'm throwing away my Advil right now. Screw that.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting this when I clicked on this story, but for me the next logical step ended up being to promise myself I will not read a single article about or sourced from instagram ever again.

I realized I removed the app to get away from it, and that I'm only reading about it because other people haven't. They're just looking for interesting ways to write about where they spend their time. I don't actually have to read this stuff just because it shows up here. I get that now.

Thank you!

The article is so cringy... made me say 'aww' a few times. I don't know - sure, it's an outsiders take. Alright. I kind of want my 6 minutes back, why is this even here?

Abstinence.

ARGH! Now it all makes a bit more sense. Triplebyte is a YC alumni, and that's why they're allowed to spam HN.

I got downvoted in the comments of another spam post of theirs because I made a snarky remark. I think they have mod access here -- they can delete your comment, make it invisible, etc. I think they're deleting comments in this very thread right here.

I'm just tired of seeing your ads everywhere, Triplebyte. You're right, I am an engineer. You have found me. But, I have a job that I plan on staying at for years. May I please, please be excused from the endless barrage of triplebyte "stories"? (not "spam", guys, OK? that word is not to be used anymore in 2018)

Hi Peter,

I held an H1B from 2012 to September 2015.

If I were to look for visa sponsorship again, am I cap-exempt because of my previous H1B?
