You may want to read more carefully next time. "A Harvard Business Review study from 2008 found that as many as 50% of women working in science, engineering and technology will, over time, leave because of hostile work…
Seems fairly analogous to the Barbie story that this woman's website broke and now other people are jumping in to help.
Oh, no actual recruiters or talent leaders? No way would I pay essentially a peer for something like this. That's what friends advise us for. You need inside info, and engineers and PMs just don't have it.
Who are your "Advisors" ? Just other engineers?
Wait, what? By showing companies "you're listening" to their astroturfing, you are even more actively condoning it. And you ignored this part, but aside from all the tweets and favorites condoning astroturfing, you've…
The failure of abstinence-only advice and education is extremely well documented and transcends class and race.
Agreed, I only recently found out how much Product Hunt relies on astroturfing tactics to grow their userbase and promote the site, but whenever I'd check it I was always baffled by what was getting to the top of the…
Can't say I agree that "mediocre or even slightly below average talent" should be compensated in the "mid-$150k range" (is that a way of saying $155k?), so close to excellent engineers. This seems to misunderstand how…
Yes, you're right. Depression is more common than AIDS, cancer, and diabetes combined; and nearly 400,000 people attempt suicide in the US every single year. Those are only the cases medically documented. Depression and…
"The 2014 Ig Nobel Prizes were physically handed to the winners at a ceremony at Harvard University, by five genuine Nobel Laureates" I'm enjoying the thought of watching them being laughed at in-person at Harvard.
No, users have no idea how many or what kind of ads are going to be on a website before they get there, and some content has ads, others don't. Just a few examples are pre-roll ads on YouTube videos (some have them,…
One thing not covered in the blog post (except Twitter) was social media or regular media where you interact with people you don't already know (e.g. Twitter, Reddit, Hacker News). Is this less common because…
"This is huge for Facebook — it has become an ubiquitous utility. And my sister didn’t even know Messenger, Facebook’s well-regarded, standalone messaging app, existed. Couple this anecdote with the WhatsApp acquisition…
Just curious, you're a PHP developer?
Yes, because I'm pro users rights. I don't believe people should be forced to look at (or sit through 30+second) ads for things they don't want or need, that are bad for them, or that perpetuate unhealthy stereotypes or…
This ad is the poster (pardon the pun) for YC sexism, it still appears in women in tech blog posts all the time. Hard to imagine being a Stanford student in 2006 who has never heard of "Y Combinator" and sees this ad.…
He needs ghost web designers.
Seriously, this is what gives Hacker News a bad name.
#1 is my ex, #2 and #3 are guys I barely know. After that, the top 10-20 are just the Facebook friends that are most active on Facebook.
I would not necessarily take the blog post author's advice. He appears to be a big self-promoter that's more impressed with the perceived prestige of a management consulting job than the success of his actual startup.
Apart from Alfred being the only CrunchFund company among the six finalists (and Mike Arrington tweeting it as the winner on Twitter before it was publicly announced), three of the finals judges have already invested in…
I'm curious about the actual statistics of ADD/ADHD drug abuse in the tech community. I do have friends that have started taking Adderall but stopped quickly, or only take it rarely, because of negative effects. By…
Nice to hear from Jessica on this. I'll be keeping an eye out to see if they follow through on this (female founders aren't afraid name names, just not to the media or on Secret, for obvious reasons).
Like most tech-savvy AdBlock users that this post references, I whitelist all sites I want to support (if those sites have chosen display ads as their preferred source of revenue). I can't imagine a web without AdBlock…
Does anyone on HN work in a windowless office? Curious what this is like.
