- mwerty 19y agoOfftopic: Suggestion to the tip guys: Can you take me to the tipxxx page on the second click. People might want to know how the button works. Or was that a conscious choice?
- ivankirigin 19y agoThe star now links to http://tipjoy.com http://tipjoy.com We're debating making things more explicit. Hopefully the copy text is enough for most people "Like this? Leave a tip: [tip this]" We're going to make that customizable soon.

- mattmaroon 19y agoI actually know someone very well who knows him very well. Maybe I'll do that.

- mhb 19y agoIf you can sell 2% of the company for $1,000, doesn't that imply a $50,000 pre-money valuation?
- deleted 19y ago[deleted]
- mhb 19y agoI'm referring to the last bit of his post. I assumed I didn't understand something about the arithmetic.
- mattmaroon 19y agoIt implies 49k premoney. Person who put 1k in would then own 1/50th of the resulting shares.
- aston 19y ago$1,000 for 2% implies a $49k pre-money valuation. Either way, Matt's math is off.
- brent 19y ago$1000 = $50000 * 2%
- aston 19y agoI know. That'd give a post-money valuation of $51k, though, giving you a little less than 2% of the company in the end.
- brent 19y agoIf I pay $1 for 20% of your stock, I'm saying your company is worth $5. I now have 20% worth $1. You have 80% worth $4.
- brianr 19y agoSuppose my company is worth $5 right now. If you give my company $1, it is now worth $6. ($5 assets before + $1 cash). $1 / $6 = 1/6th of the company; you have 1/6th and I have 5/6ths. If you pay $1 for 20% of the stock, that implies a $4 pre-money valuation--after adding the $1, the company is worth $5, so your share is worth 20% and mine is 80%.
- thomasswift 19y agothis is funny, i read the other post and clicked through to see the last name maroon naming convention and I immediately thought of matt maroon, then he commented on it. hope you take over the world. should have included cloning myspace. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Maroon Demo</title> <script src="jquery-1.2.3.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){$("#ebay").text("Shop Victoriously!");}); </script> </head> <body> <div id="ebay"></div> </body> </html> Let me know what your paypal address is so I can request money :)
- mattmaroon 19y agothemaroon hotmail.com. Send me $100 so that I know it's you and can reply.
- thomasswift 19y agocheck's in the mail... cheers!
- bkrausz 19y agoI already have a language like that, but instead of just text it takes in text and money and turns it into code. It's also pretty slow for a language, taking up to several months depending on the complexity of the problem.
- technoguyrob 19y agoHere's my algorithm: 1. Parse the program input with a lexical analyzer that: i. Loops through each character. ii. Appends it to a buffer. 2. Submit the lexed program to eLance with a 7-week bid. i. If someone with at least one project completed bids on it, continue. ii. If no one responds by the 7th day, return an error: "Syntax error in program. Please recode." 3. Accept the bid. 4. while(!checkIfIndianSentCompletedProjectFiles() && isTakingLessThanTwoMonths()) Sleep(1); 5. if (!isTakingLessThanTwoMonths()) return a run-time error: "Temporal stack overflow." 6. else print resultant code. It takes a long time to compile some projects, but it's reasonable, since it is after all a very, very high level programming language.
- jcl 19y agoNice. I notice that unlike most algorithms I've read, this one requires a credit card number as an input. :)
- TheTarquin 19y ago//My first Maroon program Make me a "Hello, World!" program, written in Maroon.
- nostrademons 19y agoMy first Maroon program: "Make me a compiler for Maroon." My second Maroon program: "Make me a time machine to send the first Maroon program back to February 2008." See? Nothing to it.
- ntoshev 19y agoThis article is fluff. Insider fluff as Matt Maroon got funded by YC, but fluff nonetheless.
