It's very common that companies have adverse candidate flow -- in other words, the ratio of 99:1 is not necessarily representative of the market; it's simply representative of the median candidate a particular company is attractin

Regarding your sidebar, a good filter would be whether the topic and ensuing discussion are likely to be of general interest to the community here (vs. specific to helping you).

The essence of doing a startup efficiently is learning how to get leverage on your time. Having a family makes that non-optional from a company point of view, and you have to learn to find the ways to get similar leverage on a family front

Wow. I wonder what would happen if you wrote "you really murdered me on the golf course today, here's your 20 bucks".

This is a very insightful comment. It's hard to imagine most high-school seniors having the sophistication to make good choices here without the guidance of sophisticated parents or supporters, let alone imagine younger students making

I think it depends on the Ivy in question(re your first point). On your second, absolutely agree. But again, say you want to do research work, or take a graduate course. In a "best in the world" environment, the average of your

I think there's more to it than social milieu as other commenters have suggested. One way to look at it would be to think about a university as a series of (populations of students, professors, alumni networks, recruiters, athletes, ex

There are many many examples of this. Beats Music was one of the more recent high-profile ones that comes to mind (for shifting from an offline-only pay model to in-app payments for subscriptions). Most of the team productivity apps, as a

There's a lot of value in the follow-through from shipping. I don't want to make too many assumptions based on your age, but if it's your goal to get better at this, I'd encourage you to release, learn, and iterate befo

Very interesting conceptually -- ecommerce and p2p commerce create many opportunities for arbitrage. But it begs the question of why you wouldn't just programmatically do the buying and selling yourself.

The fact that it is working for at least some people is interesting to me. I believe it's a function of the community in part, and also an indicator of product opportunity in the job search market. I'd love to see something a lit

We are in agreement re facebook violating user trust in a variety of ways. The Anonymous Authentication product is more about what goes to 3rd party developers though.

by gregcohn 12y ago
Nor should they! But I don't think that's an argument against this auth product, which only works if a user has an active facebook account (ie has trusted facebook with data) to begin with. It's another developer option, one

There's an important difference between sharing information with facebook, and allowing facebook to share your information with 3rd party developers. Pure auth has value to developers who want to verify a user without requiring a hands

This may be true, but it is not the POV implied in OP's question.

If you're seriously asking, I'm happy to answer my two cents, but i'm very concerned that you don't have a sense for the reasons people would want to use G+ gated products without being part of G+. As someone who has a p

Like everything else, it's a question of supply and demand. If they want you badly enough, they'll interview you on whatever terms you demand. If you want them more than they want you, they'll set the terms and you'll

If the mods are genuinely interested in what's best for the HN community, I think a discussion about the appropriateness of this YC-only advertising model is in order.

HN front page tends to concern itself with recently published news. It's a fair point that something doesn't have to be just-printed to be relevant, but I personally visit the front page and new page to stay up-to-date with what&

I think you will need to make a decision as to whether you are hoping to serve as a proxy login (you log into me with twitter ; i log into them on your behalf) or to have a separate standalone service that's clearly demarcated from the
