I have never heard of Pave before, but this just sounds like yet another copy of Equifax's "The Work Number" [1]. Basically, HR at many companies gives your salary and employment history data to Equifax, who then sells access to the information to certain parties with supposed need to access it, including potential and current employers and creditors. This report is likely one of the most invasive consumer files out there for many people.

I cannot comment on the legality of this kind of data sharing, but as I and others have pointed out, it has existed for a while. I do agree that it is concerning. You can freeze your Equifax The Work Number report at least, just like other credit reports.

In case folks want to quickly know how to start a freeze, heres the info from the website:

To communicate a freeze request, send an email to the address below requesting a Freeze Placement Form: TWNFreeze@equifax.com

Read the first chapter and really loving the structure and framing of the document. It’s incredibly hard to keep up with the pace of AI when you’re trying to actively develop applications. Looking forward to diving in. Thanks!

I mean, is it? You can easily buy a bike a year for that. And a decent second one at that.

Definitely not a steal, but NYC apartments are usually pretty small and potentially high (and many buildings don't have elevators).

Pretty simple script that can integrate with your bot to do some funny Michael Scott responses. Feel free to suggest features, best thing I can think of is GIF support.

My first Show HN, my first Chrome extension, my first open source app. Lots of firsts, would love feedback and/or ideas.

Basically it's a little extension that replaces people's real names with their nicknames. E.g. Donald Trump = "Drunk Uncle". Pretty simple really, just about ~50 lines of JS.
