In their defense, the Times did print a piece last week about an increase in traffic fatalities: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/27/nyregion/in-reversal-new-y... Agreed, though, that cyling in NYC can be incredibly dangerous. Every seriou

I don't disagree, but I would suggest that if the "successes" are worth billions upon billions, then even "failures" are quite valuable as well, at whatever point in the processes they are still indistinguishable. As hard as economic value

A startup bubble is the best thing that could possibly happen. Look at it this way. There are plenty of talented engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs out there trying to build the next big thing. Due to the incredible scale and reach of

Completely fair point with respect to the Apple comparison. In the long run, I envision an enormous amount of economic activity flowing through micropayments, where everyone is giving/receiving payments based on their production/consumption

One key element that is missing from much of this discussion is an understanding of comparative advantage and its importance to society. If someone has the skill and ambition to succeed in a demanding professional career,isn't it better tha
