☆ I have spent entirely too much time thinking about Mark Zuckerberg's outfit at his birthday party

Read previewThe Instagram photos from Mark Zuckerberg's 40th birthday party left me with many questions. AdvertisementIn two of the photos, he's wearing a slightly different outfit: the gold chain is missing, and his T-shirt is plain black. AdvertisementOr, another option, which is my theory: He didn't choose the shirt; the shirt was gifted to him during the party. My theory is that this wasn't just her regular casual party attire — she was dressing up in a typical Mark outfit as a joke, chain and all. But I feel confident in my assessment that Zuckberg's outfit was gifted to him as a joke during his party.

☆ It’s official: Silicon Valley’s entire business model is a scam

The problem is, conservative economists at the University of Chicago have spent the past 50 years insisting that under capitalism, predatory pricing is not a thing. Predatory companies could never recoup their losses, which meant predatory behaviors are irrational. Lots of economists have come up with solid counter-counterarguments to the Chicago School's skepticism about predatory pricing. A company that engages in predatory pricing and its late-stage investors might not recoup, but the venture investors do. "If people in Silicon Valley start thinking about this as a predatory pricing scam, then I think the late-stage investors will start asking questions."

Twitter plans to charge businesses $1,000 per month to keep their verification status after April 1.

Many business owners aren't happy with the new verification fee. Individuals have also taken issue with the $8 monthly verification fee for their accounts.
☆ A 27-year-old professional athlete landed a gig at Benchmark. Here's how she's balancing a Nike sponsorship, elite running, and working at the VC powerhouse.

Vanessa Fraser is a professional runner sponsored by Nike. As a professional runner for Nike, she's stared down American records, competed at national championships, and raced to make Olympic teams. These days, she's bringing that intensity off the track and into the world of venture capital. So when the call came from a recruiter working with Benchmark, Fraser was open to listening. In some ways, stepping back from full-time professional running and adding variety to her days have made Fraser an even better athlete, she said.
