If I'm clear that the 1.7B is: $1B in stock purchase $500M in a line of credit $185M consulting fee? I wonder what the valuation is for the $1B in stock purchase?

The beauty of his "con" is that he did it all in plain view and tacit approval by the board. He didn't need to do anything criminal when he's controlling the company's voting shares.

The companies that tend to have a harder time hiring and may benefit from these layoffs I think are more traditional companies that have SV outposts. Comcast, Samsung, Microsoft, Clorox, Walmart, Bank of America heck Honda and other Auto ma

The more I read articles in education based on national numbers the more I realize that national macroeconomic views are pretty much meaningless compared to local micro views. I don't care how much teachers make nationally, - I care ho

I can't quantify it - but WeWork's scale does give them a bit of an advantage. I run a small digital agency, as a WeWork member when I'm on the road being able to know I can find and book space for meetings or work is invalua

Interesting - I do wonder how well that attack would work in a normal use setting where it could become much harder to brace the lock against something.

Its interesting seeing this current trend of "Unicorns" (WeWork, Uber & Lyft) relentlessly pushed to quickly to grow and expand that they're getting pushed far past the bounds of a sustainable business. Is this VC/In

I always feel that the arguments against ORMs is like the one against frameworks or using “Vanilla JS”. Saying you don’t use one really means you’re just writing your own.

This is a pretty open secret within the industry. Geographic data can be provided via setup (a lot of TV's ask for a zip code on setup) or usually simply via GeoIP lookup. Dig a bit deeper and you get into service provided by Samba TV

Live beneath your means (aka save part of your income) This is where your premise breaks down. There are millions of people who do this who are not “wealthy”. They’re just “retired”. Acquiring real wealth requiring vastly more then your m

No I'm not saying most millionaires inherit their wealth. I'm saying that penny pinching isn't how you create it. Most people create wealth via entrepreneurship. The amount you can create via saving is minuscule compared to s

Penny Pinching does not make people rich and is not "often" why they're rich. This is a horrible misconception.

This is largely dependent on your account type and bank. There are many types of accounts that will not charge for wires or will only charge on one side (incoming/outgoing) of the transaction. I don't pay outgoing wire transfer fe

Shared Hosting is a different model than that being discussed here. Shared hosting never scaled based on usage. To carry the analogy forward that was the same as renting a traditional office space where you had to guess what kind of capacit

All due respect but I wouldn't expect a VC to say anything else. These guys want to be able to peddle their stake onto someone else in a future round. I'll be more interested in what those investors do in your next funding round.

Sorry “break even” The company is projecting solid growth in the summer months, when it expects to break even, excluding capital expenditures.
