Applaud him for doing something good. $14m is a lot of money for any individual to shell out and $1500 is "exciting" to most normal people.
- nonuby 11y agoDoes it come with the catch that I have to join his professional network? Do people working at LinkedIn have to use LinkedIn? I always wondered the same about Facebook, some awesome engineering challenges but many techies I know, including myself, have zero desire to have a facebook profile
- pc86 11y agoI imagine they check but I also imagine you won't be disqualified because you don't have a profile. Why does the YC application ask for your HN username?
- stegosaurus 11y agoI think you've missed my point a bit here - I'd be excited if someone arbitrarily gave me $10 off the street. My employer giving me a bonus of that amount would be different though, because the nature of the relationship there is very different - I give up a large part of my life to work there. I'm mostly just asking whether $1500 is significant at LinkedIn - you seem to think I'm making the claim that it's not. Whether it'd be useful for the average person is not that relevant (because it's not applying to them).
