I don't disagree that the signalling of a pedigree brand is valuable. However, the signalling of accomplishment is much louder than credential. So, my curiosity was based on the emotional investment in the credential, when I would think a

Can you help me understand your statement 'watering down the value of my degree'? I'm curious, why do you feel that way?

I totally agree that social interaction quality declines as group size increases - interactions will always approximate the lowest common denominator of a group over time. However, I was not trying to imply or judge what is boring on facebo

I've run into many stats lately on women's use of facebook: 1. "Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, has talked about how women are not only the majority of its users, but drive 62% of activity in terms of messages, updates and comments, and

This is a lot like the framework proposed in 'Getting to Plan B'. That book also has some nice spreadsheets to use.

Has anyone else tried using the android app? Its at 1.5 stars on the market, and on my device (G2), it did not work at all. It appears no QA was done on a number of device types. I'm really surprised that Color is using Sequoia's brand fo

I agree with this, but something is missing. I think when it comes to recruiting, fundraising or customer development the work must not only get done - but it must be impressive to the target audience. I propose an adapted definition based

What exactly is an 'A player'? The definition I perceive from the investment world is - 'Person X is an A player because both myself and other investors I respect pattern match that Person X is an A player'. The attributes of that pattern

I don't think this advice is practical for majority of startups. However, this design methodology is interesting. It seems by introducing regimented cycles and clearly defined design roles that both designers and non-designers (ie, engine

I would agree with you if not for the last 2 paragraphs. Combine the quote I referenced above with "it's good and healthy and productive for us to like to play computer games". Its just a reckless way to say 'we all waste time..' - not wit

I think this is what surprises me - this is hacker news, not normals news. How interesting is a safe interpretation of the research that conforms to what I was taught in 2nd grade? Its like someone posted an article extolling the virtues

I'm surprised this article is at the top of HN. 1) It is not the announcement of a research study, rather it is just referencing previous hbr blogs and sleepfoundation.org's general guidelines for sleep. 2) It offers no unique advice.

Its a good point - regardless of wealth class, someone with relatively less social capital may feel compelled to focus on building his social capital instead of focusing solely on the merit of contribution.

Knowledge is stored in 3 buckets. Mentorship can help move the set of stuff you "don't know that you don't know" to the set of stuff you "know that you don't know". This can make the process of filling up the "know that you know" bucket m

Exactly, 'careful' implies that you are a powerless sheep - which is actually true for an alarming percentage of the population. I think Paul Buchheit's recent article 'Two paths to success' does a very good job of illustrating the distinct

I think you are ignoring what the author of the article was so impressed with - "I get exactly the information I need to make an informed decision on this person". Thats the takeaway of why this resume was so valuable to the hirer, right?
