I'm not sure if meta discussions are allowed in these hiring posts, but I just want to remind people that effective yesterday California now requires job postings to include a salary or hourly wage range. Companies with fewer than 15 employers are exempt so it might not apply to all California based startups, but I already see multiple job postings here for larger companies which are clearly violating this new law.

I personally would love to see HN make this a requirement for all postings going forward and not just for the California based ones.

It's my opinion that posts like this ruin these discussions and more generally are what ruins forums as they grow in size. Above a certain size you get people who think they and their agenda is more important than the actual topic and the noise drown out the good that the forum is trying to do. I don't see a solution for public forums, but it's sad to see it happening.

I actually dont know if I like the new law - but while it is in effect it seems like it should be enforced? Otherwise its just a tax on the companies that invest in HR and are trying to abide by labor laws.

I know its minor but I dont think we should just pick and choose which labor laws to follow, especially with something as relatively unobtrusive to do as this.
