   I had the same issue, couldn't see the underwear at all. And finally after seeing the people in pictures, I can see. Internalization requires a lot of effort.

   So it's time for a 'Show HNtM', which shows HN the Money :) That said, Show HNs are one of the most exciting parts of why HN rocks, even if they don't yet make money.

   Normalizing per total users or karma has also some side effects. The demographics of HN user base has most probably changed during the past years as well as number of interesting stuff produced also changed. Now there is more submissions mo

   So there are 2 cases. First one is when a startup offers a brilliant product with the 'wow' and 'aha' moments. It spreads like crazy. Second one is when a startup with less striking product comes, executes well, pivots a

   The replacement of muscle by automation was 20th century. In the current wave, we see a replacement of office workers with a mix of more productive office workers outsourced, online or in house.

    A very well-thought and written article. LinkedIn is like a corporate party, where everyone is there, connected but there is no party indeed, just a crowd of faces hanging around. In that way it becomes just another resume service with so

    Mass recruiters and hiring managers wouldn't hesitate, but individuals running business units may want to keep it discreet. I believe it is needed for some situations..Time will show. Thanks for your comments.

    Initially we implemented hiring and applying as the same action, assuming our users would implicitly know how they position each other. After a week of feedback, we now allow you to choose to select to hire or get hired by someone. We appre

    You are right in pointing out the asymmetric nature of job interviews, namely "You may want to work for this person" vs "You may want to hire this person". In the current model we wanted to keep things simple and leave

    You are absolutely right in pointing out Mightyspring. They help especially when you focus on what you want to do. In Jobrupt's case, the focus is on 'with whom you want to work'. It may be your ex-boss or ex-employee, your

    Thanks for the concept 'premature rejection'. Especially between some connections, premature rejection becomes a risk no one wants to take.

    Your manager will not know anything unless you also select her/him. And if you both select each other, that's just a re-validation of your synergy :)

    I finally got your point. It s a great idea indeed. Actually it was already part of the growth plan to target people with hiring powers. We were thinking of various ways to target people in hiring positions and get them here. Our options no

    Great feedback, thanks. It will help us improve the home/landing page. It has been 2 almost weeks, and we are trying to validate the idea and come up with a better version.

    Actual I entered the second one, after seeing Tomonotomo's title first. I liked it as a nice expression of their ideas, and wanted to reuse it, so no coincidence indeed. But we are not at all related. Sorry if that was disturbing in a

    That's part of the 'Robin_Message's points here on this thread and it is a valid concern. We want to focus on small circles inside employment network, where your Director and you end up being there independently. Yes, the ch

    Thanks for the comparison and feedback. You are right with the risk, but we have some soft limits for selections as an anti-spam measure. Also in our case the set of people are not finite but open ended. Someone today suggested using it for

    Thanks for the great feedback. We don't contact people in your selection or connections. We want to focus on the small verticals where there is a high chance of match, like academicians, senior executives, developers, kernel developers

    Good luck with the idea and I believe there's market for that. It will definitely help a certain category of people. But some other people will quickly say they don't like it because they don't want to date friends of their f
