Zenefits recently held a user conference called Z2 and explained about how they are solving their regulatory problems and how the company is moving forward with their newly redesigned product. There has been a lot of press coverage around this too but I hardly see any article on HN making it to the front-page.<p>In comparison an article about how Theranos is halting its lab tests easily gets to the front-page without breaking a sweat.<p>Why does this bias exist amongst HN audience? Are we inherently biased towards seeing companies fail?
This is general. Almost all the air time goes to bad news, almost nothing to good news.<p><a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wired-success/201411/why-we-love-bad-news-more-good-news" rel="nofollow">https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wired-success/201411/wh...</a><p>However any post on HN about a new technology can be counted as good or neutral news. We've got plenty of them.
