Thank you Adria. This should have been on the front page all day.

Obviously 5% is 1 in 20. But 5% of what? All accounts ever created on LinkedIn? Really curious about their MAU. I'd bet it's something like 20M. Meaning, if you're in the "top" you're really just one of the people that uses LinkedIn regular

It is very strange. I love the AA women's cuts, but they are way smaller than most women's clothing sizes. It's really awkward to give them out because I have to tell people that they're going to need a bigger size.

Consider how many LinkedIn users are active. Probably fewer than 25%. I'm guessing the top 10% are the people who use LinkedIn a few times per month (like I do). People who use LinkedIn actively will get way more views since they will be ad

Certainly not. Most users probably do 3 clicks per year. But some probably do many, many more. 1 pageview per user per day might be way off, but seems reasonable.

Pretty sure I was proudly touting one of those on my old tripod site :)

A counter is one way to do it, but they probably use event data because it is much richer and more powerful. I'm guessing they don't just store a generic tick every time someone views a page. If they're doing it right, they're storing every

That team is really amazing with data too. Their work is so impressive.

nice. packing and shipping tshirts is a real drag, so I could see this being a really great service. signed up!

I don't feel like I use it very much. I wonder how many of the 200M users are inactive. My guess is most of them. The top 10% is probably anyone who used LinkedIn more than a few times last year. Not to put a damper on your achievement :)

That's why we mail tshirts to customers who find bugs :)

Exactly. That's why people are seen as being too sensitive when they complain about any one specific thing.

I think you are right. This guy needs some advice. My best guess is that he thought he was flirting with me. It's called negging. http://www.seductionscience.com/2010/negging-women/ Just threw up in my mouth a little.

Here is SF. I think the guy thought he was flirting with me. It was not effective :)

It's not evil. It's not mean-spirited. It is a tad sexist, but not in a super offensive way. Probably the worst thing about it is that it's turning away some women and some feminist men. I doubt Gun.io intended that. I think it's a good exa

I am absolutely empowered, as an individual or on behalf of my company, to tell this guy he is an ass. Or to ask the conference organizers to boot him. But I didn't feel like doing either. I didn't even cross my mind at the time. It's kind

Yes, men are discriminated too. I'm sorry about your situation. I encourage you to write about your experience and we can talk about how to help you. Your experience doesn't mean we shouldn't work together to support women who are being dis

Are you being sarcastic? Are you really calling the author a whiny bitch? This is the most misogynistic comment in the entire thread.

Sexism definition: Prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex. This was clearly sexism since it was demeaning to the woman and her gender was used as a part of that (e.g. the fact that pictures

I think two things make it more likely for me to encounter incidents of sexism: 1) I do some programming for my job, but a majority of it involves going out and meeting other developers, learning about their work, and seeing how we can make

by mwetzler 14y ago
It is indeed tricky. I want to give developers a positive association with our company and with me as an individual. Being confrontational does the opposite.

Thank you Faruk! Keep up the good work.

On Friday I pitched my company to a room of 150 developers, since my company was a hackathon sponsor. I was the only female speaker out of about 15. Afterwards, a well-known, elite developer asked me if I programmed. When I said yes, he sai

It's not, but even if it was that wouldn't be a bad thing. They need as much support as they can get because they are doing very good work.

Thank you for reading and trying to understand. I really mean that. I hope some of my other comments will help explain it better. Here is a link to one of them: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5157470

I wrote the piece and I worry about this too :( My hope is that even if they get more brand awareness out of it, they'll at least think twice about their next booth.
