Interesting stuff, it's clear from this economics perspective that sexual behavior is tightly coupled to risks and societal influence. As birth control became more available, the risk of premarital sex went down dramatically. I think s

Seems fairly obvious. A lot of web startups need little more than an MVP to be effective for proving the concept or even gaining users and revenue. Something that can probably be put together in 3 months. Being able to do this yourself - a

Well there's a market solution for that too - keep looking for better work if you believe you're worth more. Eventually smart employers will see the ridiculousness of what's happening, and hire all the otherwise competent wor

Isn't the problem that they don't ask for raises and negotiate as much or as hard as men do? I wonder what would help women with this. Everyone needs to look out for their own best interests in "the real world", no magic

This reminds me of a friend I have. This guy pretty much skipped most of the first 3 years of his degree to lift and get huge, bodybuilding style. From a sub-120 lbs scrawny brainiac, he transformed into a ridiculously jacked 230 lbs monste

Nice I like this, it makes me feel somewhat better about choosing to pursue graduate education (in engineering) over getting a job at a bigco in my field. I will certainly learn more fundamental concepts, and frankly, work on much more inte

On a macro level, a likely hypothesis for this trend is that there is nothing better to invest in than tech. But tech isn't moving fast enough (value is hard to create, not in a gold rush period), so we try to translate money into grow

Could you explain to me the funding chain a little better? From what I understand, VCs raise money from "Limited Partners", but I never understood who those guys were and how they got their money. Pension funds and such?

I think it's fair to say that this analysis applies better to web/app companies. There's just a fundamental problem with raising (and burning) millions trying to grow a site for inbound marketing, or an app for dating, or wha

I have a solution for this: Anki. Over the past few months I've created decks for topics ranging from electronics to mechanics to convex optimization. They're simple Q&A format and have tags, making them searchable. Best part?

A good point to be sure, but I disagree entirely in my own case. In fact I realized this a while ago and put strict controls so that I actually earn whatever free time I have. My current schedule looks something like: wake up at 7am, apply

A business can be losing money but remain cash-flow positive. This is what allows them to continue investing in growth. Consider a traditional bookseller, say Barnes and Noble, who has to invest in physical retail, holding product (books),
