Seems like Pareto 80/20 law is not too dissimilar from powers of 2. In binary, most significant(left most) bit is twice the magnitude of the previous bit. So that bit (or person) would contribute and get compensated…

a11y is similar to Andreessen Horowitz => a16z in that there’s exactly 16 letters in between the first letter and the last. Seems like good acronym semantics no?
I’m a big fan of YC, HN, and Garry Tan. I’d love to support Garry politically to get SF back to its roots and to put math back in schools. Unfortunately Garry has blocked me on X for no good reason that I can think of?
