You aren't wrong. I've got a heavily locked down browser on an off-network device for working with questionable websites. While the vast majority of phishing sites aren't pushing malware spearphishing is another story.
* Other users might have, instead, an incompetently secured browser that they think is locked down on their work devices. It is hard for IT to distinguish between you and them.
* If the URL is personalized, it tells the attacker that the address is active. This is probably pretty limited help to the attacker. But it might tell them if your company emails follow a particular format, right?

I just asked chatgpt and it knows what email format the company I work for follows, so I'm not sure this is of particular value.
I'd be interested in some examples of where this "recruiting talent by offering to call them 'CTO'" strategy --- which I know has happened! --- has worked out, and what the actual role description for those "CTO"'s was.
Recently watched a relatively young person parley a position at a small company with a VP title that resulted in a slot at a regionally well known organization as a director and then president of a much larger startup.
Over about 4 years he went from front line sales to running a sizeable company with the key step being the VP title at the small company that rocketed him up.
I also recall a former co-worker that was denied promotion and generally failing to progress in his career. He took a slot at a tiny company explicitly for the title. I think it was director. He managed to parlay that into very positive career moves.
Personally, I don't care as much about titles these days. I just don't want to work for places making terrible tech decisions and forcing me to work within that. I'm happiest making the decisions and really don't want to stop, whatever it's called.
While I believe it's ok for my government to invest public funds in assets with different risk profiles. I would like to see an official website and an audited financial report.
This is not a far-fetched requirement for El Salvador, where a corporation with just $2000 in equity has to submit a yearly audited balance sheet for public record. Or even small town credit unions with assets a fraction of the bitcoin funds have to publish full reports online.
El Salvador is not currently on a widespread financial crisis... I mean by Latin American Standards of course. But some things are of concern.
First the country's access to international financing is still limited.
Right now International bondholders are being paid, but two major local debts have been renegotiated.
Last year the national banking association "voluntarily renegotiated" its short term with the government from 1 to 7 years. For context, the banks liquidity requirement has been lowered since 2020 and banks can buy more government issued bonds.
Also last year the ruling party changed the Retirement Fund law. And there have been changes to the individual and collective retirement savings accounts.
One of the changes on the collective accounts was that the old financial instruments that were interest paying were changed for new ones that include a four year 0% interest rate paid back to the account owners.
Information regarding this has been limited to a couple of paragraphs by foreign credit risk rating agencies and a tweet by the Retirement Savings management companies.
There is no publicly available prospectus for that new government debt, and the Retirement Fund statistics and reports haven't been updated for months.
Like if you go to check for a recent report on the regulatory government agency you get literally 404 errors.
Well, one topic which is covered in some detail when you are screened for security clearances is precisely how you use alcohol (and other intoxicants!).
It’s perhaps wrong of me to generalize but I’ve lived in Utah my whole life, some are clean and healthy others are unhealthy slobs, just like the general population. The whole ‘drank all the booze’ people are more often those pretending to believe in their faith because of the social repercussions of leaving it.
Part of what makes hackernews worth participating in is that the owners are not profit-maximizing and trying to extract the maximum possible value from the site.
It's a trade: y-combinator, by cultivating a group of talented technical contributors, gets to advertise hiring posts for free and, in some ways, autistically contributes to the community.
In exchange, we all get a place for thoughtful discussion with reasonably fair moderation.
It's a fair trade for those involved and closer to a non-profit model than Reddit which is clearly trying to extract as much value as possible from the content creators on their platform in exchange for giving them community/platform.

How do you know? Just because there is no ads doesn't mean they don't have any benefits from keeping HN thriving.
Also for me I like HN because of the content, not because I care about YC's motive. You are obviously different.
