I've been trying understand this too. If you have a liquidation preference on your preferred shares that says you get your money out before others, does that just go away in an IPO? If it applies, how? Because it's not like the

You can tell that the parent post understands all that, right?

But AMC will be dealing with adverse selection. People who only see a couple movies a year will not subscribe. Only those who spend more (plus a few who miscalculate) will be subscribing.

Exactly! After the first two "myths" I truly thought I was being trolled by some well-crafted geek satire.

Yup. This is not how you bust "myths".

Oh man. I don't know what to say. In the process of trying to bust myths, this confirmed every practical concern that the "myths" actually express. Perhaps the worst was: "Myth: Perl 6 will never be finished" The

At first I though you wouldn't be able to stay "in the middle" because you'd have to redirect to the typed address. You can't AJAX it in, because of CORS. But you could go to your own host and have your server sit

It doesn't seem like you and Matt Levine are disagreeing about anything material. Just over whether it should be called a "dodge" or not. It's just a rule. It's almost exactly like the rule for real estate like-k

When all is said and done, this ends up seeming like pretty much the exact same treatment that "like-kind exchange" gives to Real Estate. In both cases you're allowed to swap an asset without capital gains at the swap time (

I thought the problem was almost the opposite of what the article discussed. I thought that commercial real estate almost always used long term leases and that owners are reluctant to sign them in a fast rising market. If your building is

I hadn't seen that yet. Annoying limitation, and you're right.

It actually finished adding the i's pretty quickly (a few seconds), it was navigation afterward that was a challenge. Probably because emacs is optimized to navigate with reasonable sized lines. A one megabyte buffer isn't a big

I suppose that makes sense if it's one of the easier ones to produce, so many animals can produce it. So it would be a better indicator of general protein than any of the rarer ones would be.

It also seems to have pretty much locked up my emacs. I guess I deserved it.

I don't think I'm the target market either, but it seems to be a good fit as a GoPro competitor. At least in as much as people are often buying GoPros for Point-of-view vacation videos. (And GoPros also use wifi to download, which

Javascript and reloading a web page are the obvious parallel. There are one liners for changing colors, fonts, etc. A tiny bit of canvas setup and you can draw freely. I think sound is slightly more complicated, but not much. It might m

Ok, I guess that's where we disagree. I think that even if I were well versed in native Android or iOS development, I'd be better off writing a new app in React Native (even if I had to learn it all), rather than becoming well-ve

by jannotti 9y ago
I don't follow. In my opinion, if you're alone on a project, the case for React Native (compared to writing an Android app in Java and an iOS app in ObjC or Swift) is even greater. The OP didn't ever explicitly say he wanted

Trying to find other companies under the same threat is a great approach. In a similar situation, this allowed my company to fight a patent troll and share costs, so we didn't cave under the, "It'll cost us this much in lega

Maybe, but seems poorly done. You'd want to make it so it shows Dearborn when searching for Detroit. But you shouldn't make it show all of Detroit and surroundings when you search for Dearborn.

I think that's pretty close to what they're doing, really. Though usually COW refers to doing things on a page by page basis, which probably would not be as effective (since it would copy entire pages, when only a little was neede

Or, perhaps being the first to develop a new technique is actually a sufficient competitive advantage to fund the research. This is surely true in many cases where a first mover advantage is large. If you look closely, I think you'll

Spend can't really be the reason a company gets a public good, right? If I want to own a city park, and I spend a bunch of money trying to own it, that doesn't mean I do, in fact, own it or should own it. Society should give (or

True, but less so for BRK, because your money is in a single stock, but not a single business. (I understand there are still plenty of things that might make the BRK price change in a single direction despite all those disparate businesses

That's a scary scenario, and all too possible.

Well, if that's the problem with SPOF, that it's not a "single" point, then I fail to see how " one thing" makes a better term.
