What's interesting to me is that the least people "wished" to be younger. This extremely rational result was very surprising. What do you think most HNers would "wish" for?

Why the customer isn't always right
http://mechanitis.blogspot.com/2012/02/why-customer-isnt-always-right.html
Being English, the thought of going back and telling him I wasn't happy with it was horrifying. Especially since he had done a really good job of it. It wasn't his fault that what I'd asked for wasn't what I had actually wanted. But I knew what I wanted now, and I was prepared to pay for it (again).

Tell HN: I've added Facebook login to Pikk
It took me about 2 weeks, but you can now login to Pikk with Facebook and post your votes to your wall to compare how you and your friends vote. I decided to just use the Facebook social graph instead of my own because nobody wanted to maintain a separate account for Pikk. Thanks for any feedback.

CMS with radical inline WYSIWYG editor and online help
http://www.vimeo.com/2040803
Hi,

I am a long time reader of Hacker News, but first time poster. I was compelled to sign up and post this video because I believe strongly in the product and the team behind it.

I am part of a team that develops an enterprise level CMS called MySource Matrix.

The linked demo video is not of Matrix, but is part of the next major iteration of the product. I am not a member of the team that developed it, but I work with the MySource Mini guys and am just as excited as they are about their hard work finally going public.

There are lots of examples of the ingenuity behind the design of the CMS, garnered from the many years of experience the team has in supporting our current product. The inline WYSIWYG editor and online help system tend to particularly excite people.

Hope you enjoy the video demo.

Make Younger VCs Your Champions
http://getventure.typepad.com/markpeterdavis/2007/11/make-younger-vc.html
I took a negotiations class in business school. In one of the lectures the professor talked about the degree to which the age of a counterparty matters to negotiators from different cultures. The professor claimed that the American culture is far less focused on age and far more focused on performance than other cultures. However, this doesn't mean that business professionals in the US are not somewhat focused on age...

Ask HN: Career Advice, how important is a company's brand?
Hey HackerNews,

How important is it to work at brand name companies / start-ups early on in ones career?

More about me:
I've recently moved to SF to look for work as a entry-level product manager. I graduated from a top university with excellent grades, and worked as a product manager for one of the best tech companies overseas.

In SF however, there seems to be less than expected recognition from my academic institution and prior work experience. There has been less interest from the more established SF companies.

Ask HN: try my app Nc3 Bb4 Chess
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nmfacfmcddplmealebmgfpdfdbmbnplo?hl=en-US
I recently got back into chess, and I wanted to play chess with a strong engine on my chromebook, but all of the clients were slow, didn't work offline, required java, flash, etc... so I started a side project for an HTML5 chrome app that would run offline.

Ultimately I want to make it into a fully featured freechess.org client. Is that the right call? Or should I use node to create my own chess server? What do you use to play chess online?

Social Media playing a big role in Vancouver Riot Aftermath
http://thenextweb.com/ca/2011/06/16/twitter-playing-big-role-in-reporting-of-vancouver-riot/http://thenextweb.com/ca/2011/06/16/twitter-playing-big-role-in-reporting-of-vancouver-riot/
The article itself is mostly about twitter--and to be fair it's not necessarily a life shattering article, but I think it's culturally relevant, especially given what has developed in my country. I wanted to point out that for as much problems social media has played in this issue (it's being reported that Facebook riot groups were set up prior to Game 7) the great things being done using these same devices are of redeeming quality and shows that it isn't so much about the tool--but how you use it, and it's good to see so many Vancouverites putting social media to good use to help restore the city after it's shameful evening.

Show HN: Brain, Live Smarter
https://www.circl.tech/
Hi Smart People!
We are super excited to show you what we’ve been building. Circl is a brain-sensing headset that tracks your brain performance to help you improve it.

The Problem — Our brain is not included in our understanding and measurement of human health and performance. Therefore, it is often taken for granted and we burn out, get brain fog, and live with brain health conditions.

Our Solution — We have built a headset and app that allows you to track your brain performance daily with a simple 5 min test. This test has been refined over the last 60 years in academic neuroscience research labs, and we are bringing it to the world so that we can all benefit from it. It is the most accurate way to track your cognitive ability.
1. Build a baseline of your cognitive performance
2. Track the effectiveness of your sleep and rest
3. Track how exhausting your work is
4. Identify broader brain health trends that may lead to burn out or brain fog

Our ask — Tell us what you think

1. Buy on at a 50% discount through Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/circl-ba0cf8dc-c0a6-48b3-9...)
2. Tell the world about it
3. Tell me what you think of it.
