The relevant 409A is the one that is done prior to options being issued . If the company issues options below FMV (i.e. below the FMV determined by an objective third party, "the 409A valuation"), they are giving you in-the-money

Yes, that part was over her head. I did all the coding, and the representation of the cube and the moves. She got the concepts of the search, but capturing the changes in the cube when a face is rotated was too complicated to do with her.

It was just a simple solver - you typed in the faces at a command line, and it spit out the moves. It was brute force breadth-first, so nothing fancy...

When my daughter got into rubik's cube with her friends, I thought it would be fun to use it as a sample to teach her about applying a simple breadth-first solver to find the shortest path to a solution. Embarrasingly, I neglected to d

Putting "power back in the hands if companies where it belongs" requires no change at all. Just don't take VC money. It's that simple. Most companies are not best served by raising money from VC firms (and I say this as
