Of course it's the new technology that causes this and not economists running monetary experiments, that keeps wages stagnant. (who would expect the purchasing power of money to dr…

This is why you test from the outside in: You first write an acceptance test where you just specify what goes in and what should come out. The error/failure messages you get when r…

What a brilliant "solution": if somebody does something you are not happy with... just deport them!

You couldn't by the NYT as a whole for its market cap. Companies are almost always bought at a premium, as the sellers receive some of the value that is generated by the transactio…

This seems like a pretty poor strategy for the involved companies. 1) It makes other companies (not involved in the agreement) more attractive, as their salaries will be closer to …

Don't be torn: there's a place for both. The affordable mass-produced stuff is great for obvious reasons, while the wasteful, pretentious hippster-alternative is cool for whomever …

Why don't you start a business that offers competitive insurance packages to people who want to use airBnB (and similar products) instead of demanding a law that obviously would ha…

I didn't mean to imply that markets were efficient or that MZ can't have information that suggests that fb will surpass Apple in market cap or otherwise. I really just meant that h…

It doesn't really make sense to extrapolate future stock performance from past stock performance. The market says: If you consider all publicly available information, we think that…
