I really dislike these "nothing to hide" takes.

It's not just "something to hide". You're giving a tiny project complete read/write access to your twitter. What if the creator abandons it and sells it to a malicious owner? What if it gets hacked? What if someone who's out to get you finds this as an attack surface?

The API separates these permissions for a reason.


This is a wall of text that reads like GPT-3 and the actual site is 3 blog posts chock full of obvious SEO-only content, but somehow this lands on the front page?


Why not?

You do realize this is a forum spawned from a STARTUP INCUBATOR right?


Domestic students get a lot of financial aid/merit scholarships/etc. not available to international students.


As mentioned in sibling comments this is false.


OP hasn't said anything about the cause of the manager transition. For all we know, it could be just that their old manager left for a better opportunity, and they back-filled the role.

My advice - help the manager as much as possible while you evaluate them. It'll probably be fine, and you'll learn to work with them -- they may even make the team better. If not, start looking.


Why was it flagged?


Flags are generally from user votes- so probably too inflammatory/political to some here.

Per the guidelines: "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."


Flagging is automatic based on user-submitted flags, presumably based on HN app thresholds.
