Stanford prof exposed her $5000/hr consulting fee
stanfordreview.orgI had a strange feeling after reading the article and I was right. The stanfordreview (founded by Peter Thiel) is a right-wing mag. It doesn't mean that they are wrong about the Stanford prof but I don't trust them to not be overtly biased.
This was discussed a few days ago [0] (I don't know if it's really HN material but it got some discussion). I mention this because I commented there siding provisionally with the "$5000/hour" consultant - this was per hour of workshop as I understand it, which with prep and support could trivially command such a rate. I am "right-wing" if you have to give labels, and I likely don't agree with the consulting professor's views. But that's certainly not a reason to feign outrage that she got what appears to be a normal market rate for her work. It's interesting (and discredits the magazine imo) to see them leading with the $5000 thing - it's what you'd expect from Fox News
How does the funding or political position of the Review invalidate the story told here? If you acknowlege that the facts are as laid out, is your objection that you disagree with who the good guys and bad guys are? Or do you think embarassing facts about the Stanford prof should have been suppressed?
