comment Some career start-up (postdoc) questions
No one cares about the specific job title of a postdoc, though the named ones often have more money or less teaching. It's true that postdocs at fancier places get more interviews, but it's hard to control for the fact that people who get those postdocs are much stronger than those who go to weaker places (the quality of postdocs drops very fast as you go down the rankings, just like the quality of grad students). However, if it makes you feel better I don't know anyone who did good work at a reasonable rate and didn't get a commensurate job (excepting certain jerks who no one would hire).

comment Almost parallelizable 4-manifolds
I understand this argument. However, the 3-skeleton is not homotopy equivalent to the punctured manifold (to get this, wouldn't you have to puncture the manifold in the interior of each 4-simplex?). Why does this imply the result I want? Thanks!
