I think this falls apart when the subset of fired people exceeds the subset of beneficiaries. Everyone's job is at stake on some level.

The "functionalist" truth is not that these individuals add no value, it's that they generally add negative value. When you're unemployed with no job prospects and unable to support yourself or your family, chances are y

Your comment is proof that it's next to impossible to reduce the nature of the human condition down to ironclad mathematical concepts.

Wasn't Soylent Green also made of "algae-based ingredients"? Perhaps the name of the product is more on-point than we realize...

While I'm a big believer in most of the ES6 changes (arrow functions! let/const! classes! generators!), I am not a big fan of many of the new destructuring features. They can actually make your code less approachable if you don&#x

If you're looking for a "butter only" game centered around economic competition, I highly recommend Offworld Trading Company ( http://www.offworldgame.com/ ).

Nintendo has been trying to blend mobile and console gaming since the Gamecube (anyone else remember the GBA link??). I think they've finally succeeded in a way that can make the transition between the two seamless. In a space currentl

After a year trying to teach myself on the side, I enrolled in Fullstack Academy (coincidentally, a YC company) because it was quite difficult to figure how to progress on my own -- not because individual topics were difficult, but because

There's a lesson for us here somewhere. Twitter undeniably provides value that is impossibly difficult to quantify by any widely-used economic metric (e.g. share price). It remains a platform where millions of users can interact direct

I just don't understand why everyone refuses to study the results (at least, from what the article seems to convey). Yeah, it was short-sighted and illegal and probably dangerous in ways that are currently inexplicable -- but isn'

There's a lot of potential for anti-competitive practice here -- for example, Apple could theoretically prevent the Spotify app from transmitting audio over Bluetooth or Lightning, forcing users into the Apple Music ecosystem.

Valve would be a fantastic investment. Steam is essentially the app store for PC gamers -- which is an extremely dedicated (albeit smaller) userbase that consistently spends money buying and installing new games that come out on the platfor

She should've focused on growth adjacent to Yahoo's core strengths -- trying to acquire FanDuel in its earlier days, for instance. Maybe we could've seen Yahoo lead the daily fantasy sports industry.

I find this article a bit ironic, given that Glenn Beck spent years at Fox News stirring up the ornery attitudes that he denounces here.

Twitter is a great product that lacks an effective business model. A similarly influential product that has been used widely for many years (Wikipedia) didn't have to deal with this problem because they are a non-profit. Maybe the only
