It’s quite tough to get this info reliably. There are entire businesses that focus on aggregating global “where to watch” data and it’s still a challenge.

If you don’t like what the SPAC is going to do then you can get your money back before it’s used in the acquisition.

The problem is that the cool protocol for ledgers doesn't actually address many of the business needs while simultaneously being pitched as if it does. Very few people are arguing that blockchain has no benefit. But it also has cost

Yeah we had a long-term plan to buy a house this summer and we stuck to our plan but it's definitely scary thinking about what will happen when interest rates rise, if we ever wanted to sell. I guess the counterpoint is that the whole

What you’re describing is exactly how brands work. The garbage brands will continue to cycle because there’s no reason to keep the brand name (in fact it’s better to change it so that people who got burned don’t know it’s the same). But the

Ah, in the context of this conversation "pre-money" means the value of the company before taking into account the cash raised in the current round. It doesn't mean a company that's never taken any outside investment. I

A top-up would increase your number of options (and thus your percentage), that is different from the value/percentage not changing as part of a new raise. Unless you're talking about the cap table being completely wiped but that&

I don't know, I think debugging a perf issue in a large distributed system still falls under kind work to me, assuming you actually have a way to tell when it's fixed. Yes, you need a lot of knowledge, but the rules and outcomes

The banks care because they do this all the time. One way they convince people to buy into the shitty IPOs is to also get them access to the good ones. Then the bank can make the fees from taking shitty companies public without upsetting t

I tried to barter at a NYC sidewalk tree seller for our office tree once. They wouldn’t budge so I walked. Had to embarrassingly come back 30 mins later when we couldn’t even find another tree seller. They were nice and didn’t raise the pri

So, two things (and I realize you aren't the person I originally replied to). 1. Your argument here is implicitly agreeing with my point number one. There are terms that would be considered too offensive and so the conversation is

Imagine if instead of master/slave the terms were master and "n-word". Would there be a reasonable argument to change it at that point? If you say "yes" then you agree there is a line somewhere. If that's the
