To the founders and employees of all the other less "powerful" companies - well done too ... making the world better, however you are doing it, is powerful work. keep it up :-)

You should google power law, I think you misunderstood everything and have a chance to learn an amazing statistical concept today :)

How did you come to the conclusion that he misunderstood anything at all? Reading his comment I cant see how you think that.

No I understand it. I even have at least one book extolling it in business and life.

I just wanted to convey that the sheer act of starting and running any (non evil) business is a Good Thing and worth doing irrespective of your valuation, power laws or not. More power to their elbows. (That is such a flexible word!)

Any way, assuming power laws hold in life is like assuming financial markets have normal distributions - it's gravy while true, but if it ain't so, things can get hairy. :-)
