Why this is ridiculous and in need of some very basic economics lessons: 1. Hopefully the words "Monetary Policy" and "Fiscal Policy" ring a bell. The ability to control market fluctuations, let alone wield some level of political power a

It's simple really: Because people make the mistake of constant blanket statements: Technical people say: "MBAs always suck." Non-Technicals say: "Techies are incessant and snarky geeks." One blanket statement results in the retort of anoth

yes, yes, yes! How odd that such a huge portion of the US worships a ton of bulked up dudes tossing a brown ball back and forth. My favorite oddities: 1. One that smacked me in the face from Paul Graham's essay was that when a CEO makes 1

Yep. YC'ers have probably read some Paul Graham essays. If so, one of best perspectives I saw from him was: "...What it amounts to, economically, is compressing your working life into the smallest possible space. Instead of working at an
