Firing doesn't seem like a proportional response... But representing herself as a Stripe employee after flaming on the internet isn't a good look for their business.

Yeah I would try increasing protein, you may not have been getting enough for optimal recovery & growth. Besides protein shakes, non-fat greek yogurt and egg-whites are almost pure protein sources that are easy to add in.

by rkk3 5y ago
$0.07 is the FMV for the Common, which of course is not liquid and you don't know what preferences the Preferred Shares have, so its really worth some amount less than $0.07... so less than 28k. > We raised totally about $10M >

Garbage in garbage out. Basing it off of self-reported crowdsourced data (Crunchbase) and is deeply flawed. Paypal doesn't even appear on the list of employers with more than 5 unicorns from ex employees I can name more off the top of

They aren't forced to use Apple as a distribution channel, just like Lenovo could also not sell computers on Amazon or at BestBuy and they probably make a higher margin when they sell D2C as well. It's a cold blooded move by Apple

Ruthless move by Apple - but brands like HBO should just take Netflix's queue and not allow in-app purchases. I was actually surprised to learn some of the app native brands mentioned (Tinder, Bumble) even had a way to sign-up for a su
