I'm also really impressed with the gov.uk sites. So clean, simple, and usable.

Do you think Google could make a good pitch to consumers about how much great stuff they produce and how critical they are to modern life so the consumer should give them at least 30% of their 5,000? I bet they could, and words like 'a

Exactly, so the legal team and the founders didn't do a good deal. They agreed to those terms. Nothing was "re-negotiated" as the article said.

I wouldn't be so sure. How do you allocate resources and pick the best prospects in your alternative, presumably centrally directed, economy?

It's a good article but some parts of it don't ring true, or perhaps things have changed since it was written (in 2001). For example, the investor director a VC appoints to a board does not generally get any stock options - just a

Yes, in my company some of the fastest proposal writing has been done during lockdown as 3-4 people co-author the same document online via Word. It works very well.

This article nails it. Particularly the part where the author reminds us that Gibson's cyberspace and Stephenson's metaverse were both DYStopias run by and for massive evil corporations. It's like they are trying to make that

They aren't, so this topic is off to a bad start. Nice try in pigeon-holing an entire sex.

In my (UK) experience, a 1x liquidation pref seems requested. 3x seems unpalatable. Maybe things are different in the US west coast. (It's certainly easier to raise money there, so perhaps the terms are harder as a compromise.) You&#x2

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting anyone was stupid for believing the hype that founders use to punt their stocks. What I was trying to get at was whether you had an idea of the valuation of the stock relative to your exercise price. If so, a

But was this a surprise to you? Did you expect to make more money from the sale of the company, and if so, why?

This is an oversimplification and, as written, is not quite right. It doesn't matter whether the company is acquired outright or floated on a stock market. If the company has a well-structured employee options scheme, then either of th

The British did this a while back when their Empire still looked strong - the Foundation was North America. The silent sleeper cell second foundation is probably New Zealand. Unfortunately, Boris Johnson a.k.a the Mule came along.

It's OK everyone, the government says there is no shortage, so there isn't one. That's how it works in the New Sovereign UK.

Also, the end results look quite good, but not amazing.

Seems like there is rather a lot of misunderstanding about what Apple are doing here, which is a bit disappointing. They're running an algorithm to detect known child pornography pictures from a database (CSAM). It's run on your p

You're missing the point though, which is that people need time with people to learn. Watching videos isn't enough. What happens when they have questions and need to have a conversation?

I'm probably missing something but W10 has for some time had a Privacy dashboard built in that explicitly lists and gets your permission to grant access for apps to things like Camera, Microphone, Location, Account info, Notifications,

People don't accept it because it doesn't solve the problem. The problem is why an experience is had by someone, not why there is a mind.
