Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Your comments suggest to me that you think there was yet another secondary offering associated with this news. > The 8,167,544 shares of Issuer common stock were acquired by the reporting persons in a re

Do you understand that's not what happens when shares are acquired on the open market?

by danhak 10y ago
This was not a capital raise. Read the filing. Tencent acquired most of the shares on the open market and the remainder in the round that was announced earlier this month.

by danhak 10y ago
This is not a new raise. The filing indicates shares were primarily purchased on the open market and then topped off by the Goldman-led round earlier this month. No new dilution here.

I did read it. The author makes an arbitrary distinction between "consequentialist" and "ethical consequentialist" vegetarians and implies the second category is comprised entirely of those concerned with animal welfare

What is your point? That nobody should be criticized for anything as long as ISIS is doing something worse? That's the standard for American society now?

You can have live / work communities without shoehorning a $35 billion company and its 2,000 employees into a bunch of retail storefronts originally built as single-family dwellings in the 1920's. There's plenty of large comm

When I said "center of gravity" I was referring to culture--art, live music, nightlife and food--not tech, which is certainly centered in Venice and Santa Monica.

Snapchat is a unique case because they've insisted on shoving their growing workforce into a bunch of small bungalows, retail spaces and storefronts--including Nikki's, a beloved neighborhood bar--scattered throughout Venice. This

Somewhere along the line, being "anti-pc" became synonymous with being deliberately obnoxious and antagonistic.

Good point, I should've been more precise. Edited the comment accordingly.

Other errors can be remedied. Death penalty not so much.

Important note on Prop 66, which PG unfortunately glossed over: it will override 62 if it passes with more yes votes than the other measure. Therefore, if you're opposed to the death penalty and intend to vote yes on both measures--rea

The government investments do not "go directly into the hands of a few individuals..." The Federal tax credits for plug-in cars, for example, are available to all automakers (or more accurately, the customers of all automakers).

Unfortunately the mortgage interest deduction is a major third rail in U.S. politics and it is probably here to stay. This article is 100% spot on though--it is a completely regressive policy and privileges those with enough capital to purc

The last sentence of your post is strange and difficult to parse. You love it when people communicate in ways that align with their worldview? OK fair enough. But you're really just throwing around a bunch of innuendo and five-dollar
