Whenever I see a post like this on HN, I see the inevitable "the product sucks" posts in the comments. As an engineer and social media user, I completely agree, but it doesn't seem to be bearing out in the marketplace. Facebo

I agree with you, but those social issue narratives are much easier to consume than the far more wonkish economic policy world. Why should a member of the bottom 70% care that the top marginal corporate rate was just cut from 36% to 21%?

you need to strike business agreements with literally countless small practices, hospital systems, lab service providers, drug companies, outpatient clinics, etc. This is why the aggregator model described in the article is relevant - the

For football(American), I agree, but basketball and baseball stadiums see much more use. MLB teams play 81 home games a year. NBA teams play 41 games a year, and basketball stadiums can also double as Hockey Arenas, and concert/convent

Indy has Rose Hulman and Purdue University of Illinois has top notch CS grads too, pretty close to Indy. Seems like the most likely reason they made the list. Indy also has underrated infrastructure - having to host the massive event that

I'm totally miffed, not one mention of my most famous ancestor and Van Dyck's successor: William Dobson[0]. So far as I understand (though it's hard to prove) everyone in the line was named William until my great grandfather

This was the Eureka! moment of the article for me: What’s more, once the researchers took the effect of physical strength out of the equation, men and women were equally likely to be depressed. Humans, and men especially, are pre-disposed

A giant market with a single gatekeeper. Does anyone have thoughts on alternative app stores like Google Play or Amazon? The markets are obviously much smaller, but there's also much less competition.

I've always found I am most productive during short, intense intervals. A 40 hour work week for 50 weeks a year is 2000 hrs. I've never been able to do it, but I believe I could be far far more productive working 25, 80-hour weeks

The inequality doesn't bother me so much, but I do think such inequality gives labor a bargaining position - a position the union in this article is wisely using to its advantage.

Or monetary policy. There are laissez faire arguments to counter every example you provided, but calling monetary policy laissez faire is oxymoronic or, if you prefer, anti-intellectual.
