People are drawn to success. Spend some time building your own value by making something cool. If you are impressive more people will want to meet you and more will come out of the people you meet.

Edit distance of titles?! Do you have a source? I'm very curious about how and why that would help.

Networking is about more than distributing a business card and shaking hands. Don't schmooze. Reframe as "Make new friends" and you'll do well. When meeting someone new: - Give yourselves an "official" reason to talk again, e.g. something

I don't think there's perfect symmetry. A bad programmer can get stuff done but leave a time bomb of bad code which would be hard for a non-programmer to detect. Sales results are easier to measure than programming. That said I'd have very

This is savvy. If I ran a big company that depended on smart people, this would be a priority. For top technical talent, starting a company is the alternative to working at Google. With a VC program, Google can say "Come work with us, you'l

To be fair the article wasn't a light read. It sounds to me like they're taking Erlang concepts to the next level and baking them into the fundamental architecture of the OS.

Why hide the search request with Javascript? Since the URL is always http://mixturtle.com/ , I can't easily send a link to a search to a friend. It's great instant gratification to play songs on the search results page, but I can't then ac

Second that. My email address is public and forwards to GMail, where the Google spam filter gives one false negative a week and I can't remember a false positive. Google has spam beat.

A large and frequently overlooked part of what good teachers do: motivating . In my opinion, it's the true hard problem in online learning.

Great comment. One consideration is that the credibility isn't global or transferable across fields. It's constrained to each niche. So you really want a slinkset for academia more than an HN.

Erlang is the new cool thing. There's a marketing benefit to writing programs in a cool new language, especially in github's early market: People who jumped on the git bandwagon because it was the new cool thing.

Similar position, but here's the thing: How long have the founders known one another and how did you meet? Have any of the founders not met in person? I think "cofounder" is in the same zone as "wife" in terms of trust required. Wo

I don't mind pay-for-what-you-use services... "unlimited" plans of anything rarely reflect the economic realities of providing the service. Paying by usage seems intuitively fair to me. I do mind that companies try to make money by forcing

Were I to design it, I would pagerank on users and their votes, or use a bayesian filter on article text with classification via some top users' votes. But I'm very curious to find out pg's solution.

I notice a couple of internal inconsistencies... Objective-C 30k more than Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows 30k off from Win32. And it compares incomparable averages. This thing is totally GIGO.
