It's all about expected values and your subjective preferences over those. All of this is determined under circumstances of uncertainty. You can make a reasonable estimate of the current value of your company, and a reasonable estimate

Value based only on hours of labor is far too simplistic and leads to perverse conclusions. E.g. Is it just as valuable for a farmer to till his fields by hand with a hoe and produce food at a subsistence level as it is for another farmer t

Ignoring content and ideology. If mainstream economics is so demonstrably flawed, the best way to make the point is not to childishly disrupt conventions and speeches, nor to make personally-directed attacks at individuals. The best way to

Out of a link from the essay[0]: >Do not enter acquisition talks unless you are ready to sell your company. Negotiating an acquisition is the most distracting thing you can do in a startup: going through M&A is an order of magnitude

A simple (though far from easy, and likely complex in political reality) solution to this sort of problem is to import workers. Japan, as a high productivity nation, would be a very desirable destination for workers willing to relocate. The

Linking my posts in a thread above[0]. The goal of Uber is to earn money by allowing utilization of the massive unused transportation capacity bound up in personal vehicles. As detailed in a child post of the linked thread, taxi-driving was

This article[0] (available with free registration) is a very interesting read on the history of jitney services in the US, and the fall of this massively popular form of ride-sharing. It is a useful case study in regulation used anti-compet

Except in the Uber/Lyft scenario, we see no $1500/month deadweight loss going to an economic rent. There's also no reason to presuppose that personal transportation SHOULD provide a livelihood. The goal of companies like Ub

I understand that the chips mentioned in the article are for the ultrabook market. But Intel will roll out the 14nm architecture to its entire line. The comment I was responding to expressed a desire for no die space dedicated to graphics a

Please show your work on how you get from the facts of the matter, those being: 1) There is more than one mobile provider 2) Multiple of these providers are independently considering implementing zero-rating 3) Zero-rating is providing a se

Zero-rating is not the same as censorship. A corporation cannot prevent any individual from taking an action that individual wants to. A government can, if not make impossible, make very costly that same reading. I would much rather have to

A clear analog for this issue is television. I do not know, but was there ever such contention over OTA programming vs cable networks? I view these proposals as very competitive - among mobile carriers, where we see much less competition (i

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not believe that the FCC would need congressional approval to do anything proposed in the parent article or what I've mentioned. They are a regulatory commission that designs and implements regula

This article prompted me to read more about pole access rights, and this article[1] seems interesting and informative. The question it begs, though, is why must a pure ISP be classified as a cable provider or telecommunications provider? It

What's important to keep in mind is the progress that AMD has been making with their Heterogeneous System Architecture. With high-frequency RAM (especially when we start seeing widespread availability of DDR4) shared between a CPU and
