I believe in 2011 the strike price (accounting for both stock splits) would have been around $0.75-0.80 after they raised funds around May 2011. Assuming they are worth at least $30 billion, the shares would be around $50 for around a 6150%

I don't think they expired quite yet but they let some very early employees sell as part of the IPO which may address those people

Total conjecture and even if its true, who cares?

They don't need the cash necessarily but the early employee options were expiring so they needed to go public

Yep some philosophers described it as “freedom to” and “freedom from”. Without freedom from others doing some things that effect you, you might be dead or otherwise severely restricted

That’s not clear. They likely spent about the same total cost on components with $100 more for worthwhile components instead of the Intel tax We will see when we get a full teardown

Sure I’m not saying it’s perfect. But I also don’t think it was harder for them to deliver if I order $30 in food versus $50 in food usually. Hence why I would try to pay them a fair amount based on their time, rather than rewarding the per

Thanks to both of you

Personally I feel like it should be based on the time to fulfill the order primarily if you have a good idea how long it took. For example, I used to order from a place that did bike delivery from less than five minutes away and I feel like

Yes similarly I’ve started to notice that other users never notice I’ve replied to their comments since there are no notifications. A bit sad since sometimes quite a bit of effort is put into the replies.

It was to be expected because they save a lot of money that they were paying to Intel. It was estimated that they could shave something like $100 per computer by switching to an in house chip.

Actually about 30% of America voted for Trump so I wouldn’t rush to give him another 20%+.

Its not about manufacturing costs. The companies continue to own the patents and after some period of time have every plan to start charging for use of it. This means they can get rich for decades off of the taxpayer-funded research. Meanwh

Are the areas with the cheap houses walkable destinations in their own right or mainly residential communities with a subway stop that can get you to the action? Chicago was the example that most came to mind as something with cheaper house

It seems like the real solution here is to outsource vacation hour tracking to one of the HR apps for the purpose (see Workday) instead of having the domain expert engineers split the company’s application apart into micro services so they

Can you give some examples of places that meet those criteria (good transit, walkable, major cultural venues, varied dining scene) with $200k houses? I don’t think there are many places in America with good transit that are walkable so I th

The legislation not only needs to pass the Senate and the House, but also various committees and the president must also typically sign it. Each one of these hurdles reduces the chance of successful legislation which tends to favor the stat

You don't need to replace historic Victorian and Edwardian houses necessarily, although its one option. Instead you can extend zoning in areas like SOMA to allow much larger buildings there where there aren't as many people alread

"make it clear you don’t want to have a discussion on the issues" You literally chopped off the last three words to try to make it sound like it said something different. Saying that when you pay more taxes it just blanketly disap

“Extremely high taxes that deliver no value to citizens” Hah! Yep the money just disappears Your comments throughout this thread make it clear you don’t want to have a discussion on the issues. So we can agree to disagree. In summary, the p

It’s one bug. Sure if it’s still open (the article was from January) then that’s not good but Chrome has thousands of open bugs as well and likely some that would give me pause. The fact that Google is the one giving Apple a hard time might

Employment allows people to afford things. Also when you live in a place with $8/hour minimum wage you quickly realize that nothing is affordable for most of the service industry workers. $320 per week before taxes with no stock option

You totally missed the point. It’s not that Miami designed some great alternative to get to Miami Beach and I am mad they didn’t use heavy rail. There is no good way to get around without a personal vehicle. Going from the airport to Miami

Your linked article is some Google researchers reporting some bugs in Safari which were mostly patched a year ago. It seems like they disagreed about whether some were patched initially. That doesn’t mean Chrome is more secure. They literal

You lost me completely when you said Miami is less broken politically than San Francisco. Have you spent much time in these places? Miami is a mess of planning and corruption with none of the modern industries like tech that create quality

It goes back and forth. As of a couple years ago, Safari sandboxed the network process which Chrome did not do. Chrome also sends a significant amount of personal data and usage data to Google and potentially other parties which significant

It happens occasionally but “a ton” is probably overstating it. Any major website that doesn’t work on Safari for Mac and iOS is going to get bug reports pretty quickly unless it’s a Google product and they just don’t care
