This is why the myth of "market capitalization" is so persistent. Often what you have at an IPO is a conversion of preferred shares to common shares. So effectively the 8 classes of preferred shares do become the same as the com

FWIW, this is what a 409A valuation is supposed to do. But that is often done long after a funding round is closed. The PR people and journos need a simple number to report on the story as the deal is announced. I would argue nobody real

What are the key metrics for catalysts? Obviously cost is one. Round-trip energy efficiency? How does this measure up to existing commercial alternatives? How about against no-catalyst electrolysis?

The problem is that the feedback loop on the commodity side goes in the wrong direction for a "death spiral". A reduction in the number of gasoline burners on the road causes a reduction in the price of gasoline, which makes gaso

Regarding 2, I'd be interested to know whether there was a different legal/ethical standard for people who have died. Surely there must be a journalism professor around here somewhere.

This is the bargain you make when you talk to a journalist, you get your side of the story on the record, but you usually have no control over where the journalist takes it. You're not comfortable with that, don't speak to journa

I'm just imagining that the average homeowner isn't going to want to keep track of a second device, even if that's part of their iPhone. People switch/lose phones. I think it's better if its built into the hardwar

Yeah, I think I was implicitly including in my use case people unfamiliar with git/puppet/etc.

Right, and so that was my point about an second factor built in to the device.

OK, I know it's the worst to show a product and have the first thing out of the audience be a feature request. So I guess first: this looks awesome. Second: what I really want from a SOHO router is a decent remote administration work

Technically it happens occasionally, especially if you prefer terse method names and/or small interface definitions. However I have yet to see an example of it causing an issue. Usually I see problems where a struct doesn't sati

Yes, however I think the hard part is getting the attention and interest of the investors in the first place. The IBs also act as a quality signal in the other direction, too. That is, I, as a potential investor am more likely to invest i

Globally, how many people have net debt? I bet it's fewer than you think.

What an odd response. I think it's a perfectly reasonable question to ask. Why does it matter who the asker is?

It doesn't require Go any more than nginx requires C. Go executables are for the most part static, and depend on very little, making them highly portable across distros.

Trying hard not to read too much into what is clearly a small number of datapoints, but it sure looks like IPv6 adoption hit a wall on January 1. Is this an artifact of the data collection process or a real effect?

I think "created an algorithm" is probably overselling it a bit. Clearly they already had a route planner, didn't they just modify it to add extra cost to a left turn?

This is what I came here to ask. Seems a bit silly to fill the whole tower case with cooling fluid. My guess is that the incremental benefit you get from the redesign doesn't outweigh the costs. It may at very large scale, and I wou

Right, but then we're really talking about aeroponic farming, not vertical farming.
