on: Academia Is Eating Its Young
Yes, the risk-taking strategy of working towards a potentially high-impact publication is not worth the reward (as measured in citation rate comparing low-impact and high-impact articles )- see Foster et al Tradition and Innovation in Scientists Research Strategies

Thanks. Good ideas. I was planning on having user submitted pics here pretty soon.

on: Show HN: If I had Moola
I usually build apps. This is my first attempt at a content driven website. It's similar to the chive, but extracts the things which I like the most about the chive (architecture, travel and girls) and focuses entirely on them. Let me know what you think!

on: Retriever: a new bootstrap theme
I like the menu, it's a good change from the standard bootstrap sites that are everywhere now.

on: A better way for hackers to promote themselves
This is really interesting- I've actually wanted to tie the different aspects of my life together in one place- I'm programmer but also an artist. I'd like to promote both at the same time and this looks like a place I could do that. If anything, thanks for hosting my portfolio!

Nice format. I like the simple design you've got going on. Building some projects at the moment... tagging my projects with the different tools I've used is especially useful. I can see how when there are more users I can connect my projects with others using the same technology. Nice Job!

on: What Facebook Knows
As a PhD student studying ape communication there is nothing more enticing then landing a spot on the Facebook data science team. I bet the best way for a current student to get a job there in the future would be to initiate an academic collaboration while still in the lab.

Excellent site, but why limit invitations?

on: Show HN: Follow the Bookmarks of Leading Thinkers and Interesting People
Interesting site- if anything it's let me know how disorganized my bookmarks are. I can see how using this app would encourage one to categorize their daily inventory of interesting links to properly labeled folders.
Just a comment on the layout: it's certainly clean and straight-forward however on the feed page I would rather see the link title have more prominence over the user icon. Of course, this preference of mine comes from years of using HN and reddit.
Also, I would like to be able to see all the users that are on the site- is that possible?
Cheers! Hope this works out for you!
