Help who? I’m specifically talking about an employee getting standard common stock. If liquidation preferences are coming into play, you’ve already lost as a common shareholder. But you should never be in that situation to begin with. If a

But also know that if liquidation preferences are coming into play for the company’s exit, it’s almost certainly a giant failure and any late joining employees aren’t getting anything significant. If the startup is not growing extremely fas

This is a straw man to begin with because the building codes are not the issue… the permitting apparatus is. However, your analysis is simplistic and assumes: 1. The house uses no natural gas (most do) 2. The cost of electricity never goes

I’m one of the few people that does, but for me it’s because I actively played the startup game early in my career to maximize my lottery ticket chances. The worst thing you can do is spend too long at a loser company when you are early in

If the company is growing and in the “lottery ticket zone,” there is no chance a refresher grant should be a meaningful change to your potential outcome (for example: 20% more equity over 2 years is not worth the opportunity cost of getting

There is no reason to work anywhere for more than 4 years. Vest the options, which have a 7-10 year exercise window because you’d only take a job at a company that had them, then quit and get another job and take another shot. Your lottery

Are you buying rough lumber? There is some arbitrage as certain species of wood are cheaper if you are closer to where they come from (for example Douglas fir is cheaper on the west coast vs pine on the east coast), and for a small item it

While it is true you can often buy IKEA furniture for less than the wood would cost you, for any “real” furniture made out of real wood, anything you build will be far, far cheaper than what you can buy. Of course that is valuing labor at

Most EV owners will only need to charge at these types of chargers when on long road trips, which are likely to be infrequent (for most drivers). Overnight charging is all you need for any daily driving <300 miles. Everybody needs to go

It wasn’t just the cost, but the effort. Calling 10+ dealerships, having to track the inventory, etc. Just getting on a centralized waiting list would have been 10x easier and more user friendly.

I recently bought a Prius Prime and the amount of work I had to do to buy it at MSRP was ridiculous. If you have an oversubscribed car the dealer model just doesn’t work. If car companies are going to compete in the future they will have t

This is a pretty insane conspiracy theory considering people happily give Google their CC (Google pay), emails (Gmail), physical address (maps), password (chrome), wifi info (android). It was just a mistake in a setting. They were accidenta

Correct. The fund also isn't going to be returned for 5-10 years, so even if you are making great investments that will have huge returns in 10 years, if you have a bunch of annoyed LPs now, you may still essentially get knocked out of

Important to understand that when a VC raises a fund, it's just commitments from LPs, not all the money right away. So if a VC "raised" a huge fund and the market shifts and all the sudden their LPs might not like a bunch of

Well nobody really has faith in the system to begin with. We went into the process battling the system and ended it battling the system. The various types of care that were provided were all fine and good but the decisions about which care

Fwiw a lot of YC companies have had large collapses. For example Homejoy which is a lot bigger than this company. It happens. Startups are risky. Not huge news.

There is no strong evidence that an mRNA vaccine going into a vein causes any long term damage to anything. And when the vaccine starts in your arm it eventually gets to the heart anyways.

There is significant friction between the water and the tube that needs to be accounted for. The longer the tube, the more friction there is.

It also would heavily advantage power plants that could turn on and off quickly to only produce power when the cost of that power is high. Especially if these plants produced a lot of pollution that was also not accounted for.

So is somebody physically blocking a bridge with a giant truck and refusing to move it less militant than somebody pulling their music off Spotify and writing a letter explaining their choice? Why did you use the term “militant” to describe

Also you have to imagine the bulk of the traffic is going to be the same small bits of data (the homepage, top stories comment pages, etc). It’s not trivial to take advantage of that but that is also much easier to handle than QPS that are

After you’ve had a bunch of excess deaths (of the oldest and most vulnerable) wouldn’t you expect it to go below normal after that? Isn’t staying above normal still indicative that lots of excess people are dying? No country was even close

Florida have had way more deaths after vaccinations were widely available. Also don’t compare to NY… New York is such a unique state due to how it was hit so hard right away. Compare Florida and California. Florida has 50% more deaths per

It’s literally a miracle drug for a virus that is killing thousands of people a day, that likely will work for all variants. Can you stop complaining for one second about the price and acknowledge that it is amazing that they invented it?
