pratikpoddar··on Wall Street vs Silicon Valley
Interesting views. Just to add:

Early on in your career, you get "transferable" skills in both the industries. So, shifting from one industry to another cannot be very costly. So, one can always decide for one self.

But shifting also requires a change in mindset. Wall Street is a lot of money/bonus talk. Silicon valley would not like people who think only about money every day. Silicon valley is less shit work. Wall Street would not want people who do not smell the coffee well. So, the attitude should definitely be checked.

My 2 cents.

Thanks for the feedback Sir. There was a minor bug. I would love to talk about it. It was too deep in the system.

I am sorry. I hope you will be forgiving and let us serve you. Thanks

I am sorry to disappoint you. Its a social dating website. It has to be built on facebook.

You do not share anything that is not required. We do not post anything on your wall. Facebook login is just to understand your network. I hope you will trust us, and become our user. Thanks

Cool. Interesting stuff.

I did not mean to offend you. I am saying 80k users are in the network. That does not mean 80k people registered. Its a "friend of friend" website. So, your degree 2 is also reachable. So, with 200 registrations, my network is 80k users. I am sorry if I misled you.

Once you login, you will see that there are a lot of potential dates for you, if you have even 2 friends on tomonotomo. That's the beauty of the website, imho.

The intent was never to cheat you. Since apologies if I got you offended.

Thanks for the feedback Sir. I am sure I will improve both the website and myself with time. I have changed the representation of the name to make it more readable.

Point taken, Sir. I am not in US, so I might not have the entire context, though.

I would say that the two ways I am adding value here: 1) To discover potential dates rather than search for them 2) Mutual connection if both parties find each other cute/handsome/attractive.

Please let me know if I am wrong somewhere. Thanks

I found this font attractive though. Is it just me? I am bored of the regular fonts anyways. Can you suggest a font to go well with the theme, please.

Your point is valid Sir. But as P. Omidyar says - "People are basically good."

I have changed the representation of the name to make it more readable.

The value in my opinion is to discover potential dates rather than search for them, and of course the mutual connection if both parties find each other cute/handsome/attractive.

That is a different problem as the fox cannot enter the water body. Here both the tamer and the lion can go anywhere in the cage.
pratikpoddar··on Ask HN: Thoughts on cyclical content refreshing?
I agree with you. One very simple technical solution that I used a few months back was to use a firefox addon which blocks my facebook, orkut, twitter for 15 minutes after I have used it for 15 minutes . Will that work for you?
