> adults talking about direct job opportunities they know about, it's not a job board
Serious question: what's the difference? Looking through this thread, the positions being advertised are mostly posted by people who work at those companies. More to the point, would a judge see a distinction between this HN thread and another job board?
Seems like GP is right. Many of these companies probably do employ at least one Colorado resident and therefore are subject to Colorado jurisdiction.
Generally the solution when you're in violation of the law is to stop violating the law, not to stop doing things in general. Colorado's law is not unreasonable.
There is even a forgiveness provision in the GP's link:
> Employers that violate the job posting requirements may be required to pay a fine of between $500 and $10,000 for each violation. The Department will waive all fines if an employer brings its postings into compliance after the first violation.
I get it at this point that you're a troll, and I shouldn't keep discussing, but you'd really like to see each post in a forum thread comply with every jurisdictional employment law that might be applicable? Is that true for all internet content generally, and all jurisdictional laws? I don't buy it. Like I said, you see something good happening and want to destroy it. I honestly can't understand why? Why not let people have a forum discussion without trying to ruin it?
If you go to any major job board, you will notice that every single remote posting is in compliance with this law. This is in no way controversial and does not "destroy" anything except your odds of getting a nastygram from the Colorado department of labor
