I agree, there are cases where the values converge. They are, however, a very small percentage all startup outcomes. Most outcomes for venture-backed startups are wind-downs, or small-time acquisitions. In these cases preferred shares ar

That's a really nice tool, well thought-out, and the calculations it does are spot on. However, I think it's based on one pretty big assumption: that the shares that investors buy are the same as the shares that you would get thr

I assume this uses the crypto libs in the Go standard lib to do the SEC part of DNSSEC. It used to be that the Go authors urged caution when using those libs because they were relatively new and unaudited. Has that changed? Are they reco

To be charitable here: is it possible that this person did not work for Google? Historically, I've known third-party recruiters play fast and loose with their affiliation with the company they're recruiting for. This literally c

I would like for this to be true. There are a bunch of red flags in the abstracts of those papers though. For example "Fortifying refined grain and drinking water with biologically available magnesium to pre-twentieth century levels

I have to admit ignorance about this implementation, but as I understand it evaluating a single move is computationally much simpler. That is given a piece, validate that the proposed move (decided on by a human) conforms to the rules of c

You're correct, at a liquidity event the value of common and preferred shares could converge. A term called "participating preferred shares" would mean that they don't. But most capital structures I have seen are such t

"Mr. Biederman holds 64,166 Domo shares that would be worth $540,919 at the $8.43-per-share price where Domo sold stock to investors last year." Is there any reason to believe that these are the same series of shares? Isn't

I don't know enough about Disqus to render an opinion, but I do find it entertaining that the sample comments shown in the animation on their front page are entirely noise, in that they contain nothing more than a "Yay!" sent

I don't know that the math is right in this piece. In one paragraph they make mention of "a yearly tax credit of $150,000", then in the next they say "With a yearly tax deduction of $150,000 and a second deduction of 35

Flossing can have benefits. That still doesn't mean that we should be ok with medical professionals making specific claims like, "flossing reduces the risk of tooth decay," that have no good science behind them.

I think that's missing the point. And, as an aside, so are all the comments in this thread that are essentially "flossing works for me, so I'm going to keep doing it." The point of this article is not that people shoul

There may be an effect there, but IMHO it would be a lot smaller than what we're seeing. As of 1:49, about 14.5 million shares have traded on the open market with an average price of about 25. Seems like there's healthy appetite

You're right on, and there may in fact be a half dozen more material economic terms which also adjust down the implied $10bn number. Add into that the fact that each round often has it's own set of terms, and you begin to realize

This is almost entirely attributable to v6-only mobile networks, right (at least in the US)? Anybody know what the stats look like if you exclude those, and only look at fixed connections?
