It used to be that 90% of the time, you accessed stuff only on your computer’s local network. Then in 1993 at the University of Illinois, Marc Andreessen developed Mosaic, the first internet browser, which allowed users to wander around the World Wide Web 90% of the time. He moved to Silicon Valley and founded Netscape. Mr. Andreessen is now a general partner at a top-decile venture-capital firm, better than 90% of its peers. Andreessen Horowitz recently raised $9 billion in new funds.

90% of Everything Is BS......................
100% of the time I leave a smart remark on articles with a paywall....But I won’t this time because I have no idea what the article is about.
On a good day.
90% of everything is crap. That was true long before the internet. I think that is Sturgeon’s Law IIRC...
Yep.
Theodore Sturgeon SF writer and critic.
Easy....RACIST !!!
darn, you beat me
THAT’S RACIS
The “big guy’s” share??? ?
My husband read me this article this morning. I don’t have his access info to through the paywall, so I can quote it, but the gist was that 90% of everything is BS. I can say that is surely how I view my Congress critters (my opinion is even lower than that of them), the education system, and so much more.
Just another plagiarized version of Pareto’s Law - 20% of people do everything. Sturgeon just changes the percentage.
*can’t* quote it
That ratio seems about right. Trying to discern the useful ten per cent is hard enough, and wisdom requires that one be careful and discrete about identifying the useless ninety per cent.
“10% of research, expertise, success is good or works, the rest is crap.”
So why don’t we just cut out the other 90%?
90% of everything is showing up.
>> So why don’t we just cut out the other 90%? <<
Because 90% of such efforts to do so fail.
Well okay.
TBH I had never heard of Pareto’s principle until I just looked it up.
Learn something new every day.
60% of the time it works every time.
What is the 10% of this article that is not crap?
