CPL is awesome. They recently dropped late fines, too, which I greatly appreciate. I miss dropping in on the Harold Washington branch after work when I worked in the loop.

The “at a valuation of” numbers you see thrown around in funding rounds are preferred shares and have a higher cost than employee equity. As a result, companies can use that risk factor to push down on employee strike price, aka 409(a) valu

A major portion of an S-1 is outlining every possible thing you think could possibly go wrong, so that someone can't sue you later for something going wrong you didn't warn them about. Given that, there's no incentive to cali

For everybody who is trying to relate this to current controversies, read W. H. Auden’s letter of Feb 2nd. “ I agree with you “a) That Art and Politics (and Morals) are not unrelated, but the relation is in the work itself. There are works

Blaming Canada is not arbitrary, they are angry about Terrance and Philip, who are Canadian. Doesn’t mean they know a lot about Canada but it’s not like they spun a globe and pointed somewhere random.

I mean, the NYT during the Clinton and Bush years was hardly some golden age of journalism. Off the top of my head, there was Whitewater, Wen Ho Lee, the Jayson Blair thing, and the Judith Miller / Curveball / Iraq war stuff.

If you're going to spend trillions of dollars to dig point to point tunnels for autonomous vehicles, why not only spend hundreds of billions to build subways instead that can carry 100x the number of passengers?
