- alec 16y agoHow is this better than a mapping between uid and LinkedIn?
- luminary 16y agoI think you should allow an option for secondary email address for communication. I don't want to use my corporate or school id for HN-related stuff.
- j_baker 16y agoI hate to be the grammar police, but a little bit of capitalization goes a long way.
- kloncks 16y agotyping in all small letters is a movement though
- deleted 16y ago[deleted]
- carbocation 16y agoI think it would make plenty of sense to let companies see students, and vice-versa.
- jrockway 16y agoHah. Something about the proxy server we have at work makes this unnecessary. If HN takes too long to respond, I end up logged in as a HN-reading coworker :) Maybe there needs to be a "cache-control: no-cache" header, or something.
- aneesh 16y agoThe same thing happens to me at work. There are a lot of HN readers at my company!

- pg 16y agoI recently heard from him. He gets your pages too. But I don't think you're actually logged in as one another, in the sense of being able to do anything (e.g. vote) as one another. If you know of anything I can change to prevent HN pages being catched by your proxy, please let me know.
- SingAlong 16y agoI went to the page hoping to signup, but I fall into 1.5 categories. Sorry for the humour. Anyway, I'm a student from a not-well-known college and I'm a freelancer. How do I signup as a freelancer? Do you also accept companies from outside US?
- cscotta 16y agoI'd love to sign up, but apparently students and employees of eight companies can register. Would the creator consider opening this up? Those of us who work for smaller companies and businesses would love to have the opportunity to connect without being on the same level as Googlers.
- jmtame 16y agowhat's your company's email?
- tomh- 16y agoJust wondering, why should the users go through this "annoying" process of getting their company/school added to the directory. This would be more user friendly if it was done automatically as part of the signup process. Signing up for a new service is already annoying enough as it is. Emailing to get "permission" to sign up is a step to far for me to use any service which requires to do so.
- jmtame 16y agoany u.s. school is automatically added. as for companies, we wanted to target it at students doing internships at places like google and facebook. there's nothing to stop you from joining with your company, and I would agree that part is annoying. it should speed up over time.
- nopassrecover 16y agoWhat is the motivation behind limited types on schools/companies?
- jmtame 16y agoit's only slow starting off, but as we add more companies it will become easier. it seems like the most intuitive way to categorize the directory. enter company email, done. most students will probably intern at a few places (google, facebook, microsoft, etc)
