alt Hacker NewsIf you are talking about LinkedIn, I don't know how universally they are considered a tech company. Is any company that does its core business on a website a tech company now, even if their innovations aren't tech? NY Times has some fancy tech, but you'd be hard pressed to consider them a tech company.
Are you seriously trying to argue that companies like Facebook or Netflix are not tech companies?
This comment thread is bonkers. I've never seen stuff like this on HN before!
