Just as a reminder for folks. This California based position falls under pay transparency laws -- "Effective January 1, 2023, California Senate Bill 1162 (SB 1162) requires employers to disclose pay scales on all position postings". The linked position posting doesn't include this.

Of course I agree, but these comments have become so common as to be noise, making them off topic for HN.

I wouldn't call this noise.. The job poster knows the rules and decides to break them anyway. Potentional applicants should be made aware of that.

Anything this common becomes noise, since it doesn't add any new information.

Heres' another way to look at it: since the idea of HN is to be intellectually interesting (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), repetition is the most important thing to avoid (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

I'd say the Who's hiring post is by definition bound to not have intellectually stimulating discussion, so this logic doesn't track for me.

[dang]

That's a good point! But I'd still say (1) we don't want it to be a thing anywhere on HN, and also (2) these threads are already overwhelmingly large.

I understand where you're coming from.. My takeaway is that a HN post is not the right tool for the job in this case. (pun not intended)
