Highlight from A Hacker's Mind

VC funding and private equity are such a normal part of our economy that it might seem odd to call them hacks. But they are; they're hacks of pretty much everything the market is supposed to do. No one calls it a hack; everyone just calls it "disruptive" and "innovative." That it's both legal and accepted doesn't change the fact that money and power decide what behavior is accepted and who gets a seat at the gaming table.
