I went through a smaller acquisition which had milestone based earn-outs. Are your earn-outs time-based or milestone-based? Mine were milestone based and I negotiated for 25% to be time-based. The company underwent a big re-org and the new

The premise here is that many people (most, even?) are not as interested in career growth and learning once they hit 50 as they were right out of college. That fact is what makes many people consider software development a dead-end job unle

Not everyone trying to make self-driving cars a reality aren't looking to enter the manufacturing and distribution business though. There's a case to be made that is self-driving technology becomes commoditized then GM, Ford, etc.
