Why would they do that? "You guys did bad, here's $XXM..." Or maybe you mean they'd sell their stake.

Yes, it would be circular had I concluded that median is best.

Someone mentioned something like this in a reddit thread as well [0]. What conclusion would you be hoping to make from that? According to census.gov median household income was $78,378 in 2014 if that's interesting [1]. [0]: https:&#x

Hey, thanks for posting this to HN. For those curious, our designer/CEO (DEO!) Judd Schoenholtz made the graphs in Sketch (we're huge fans). A little trick from him on making the bars to scale... use the actual values as the pixel

That's kind of a 0-sum outlook on the role of businesses in society (gather wealth to distribute to employees). Most of the businesses we're talking about are benefiting society not through job creation but through technology crea

IDK, employee count seems like a red herring. To me it's much more impressive to do a lot with a small number of employees (like WhatsApp's 18M users/engineer [0]). Amazon incredibly impressive, I just mark the high employee

Yep, it's not like we don't have open protocols with millions of users. Data silos and super nodes in the network are a socio-economic effect, not technical. What I mean is that as long as it's desirable to become a high traf

I had a similar experience to this at amazon. I think the nature of programming work is so murky that it makes sense to do this even if you don't care about the employee (though my managers genuinely seemed to). What I mean by murky is

The network effects of this will be pretty strong if this takes off. If they have a large captive audience of people with their wallets open, ads could be pretty effective/lucrative (and there's no adblocker if they own the browse

I disagree with the premise that these apps exist to make a small group of people money... 1) Nobody's working on this kind of stuff just for the money, and if they are then they've lied to a lot of people and are fucking up. If y

That's a stawman, nobody's using these apps to make some guy with an app money. Users are on them because it's convenient and fun to have your neighbor cook an extra few portions of what they're having without necessaril

Yeah they do. I was offered a job after a summer internship but told them I'd only work in California -- after first declining, they offered me a position in SF the next day. When I arrived in SF to start there was ~12% added to my sal

Nice, looks very simple. But I don't see how it would make it simpler to build an app like instacart. Try instacart, the app is borderline magical. I've never seen a bug with their cart or the awesome realtime-multiplayer shopping
