Do other companies have this clause in place?

Okay thanks for confirming you don't know what you're talking about. Black scholes is options valuation and never used in 409A valuation. You can't just make stuff up, you have to justify it to your auditors.

by steven2012 10y ago
This is wrong information. 409A valuations are generally based on revenue models, profit models (not applicable for most startups) or comparatives. It's not done based on funding rounds because there's a lot of goodwill based in t

In 2016, how exactly do you think Uber is unethical? I find the idea that trying to disrupt taxi monopolies as unethical is ridiculous. And sure they had some shady shenanigans back in 2013-2014 (as did Lyft), but that hasn't been the

I came in to say this as well. I only this figure apply to restaurants not businesses in general.

I wouldn't hold your breath just yet. In the peninsula prices are up $100k in my neighborhood. Interest rates are still low so it will take some time.

This is why sama should have stfu and not said anything. There are two sides to every story and the argument presented is compelling, so it's up to a judge and/or jury to sort this out. Of course sama has a dog in this race, which

Lyft produces the same data to the same regulators.

Your stock symbol was the first company I bought options for, and lost thousands of dollars. The good ol'days

It's the exact same regulatory information that lyft and taxicab companies hand over to regulators.

I have about 5 backups of things that I need. I just buy a new external drive and copy everything over and leave it in the closet. And then in a year buy another one. $200 a year for a backup of my photos is worth it

As I mention above, it's not so much the administrators fault as it is the VP of engineering. There was clearly no disaster recovery plan which is unacceptable.

by steven2012 11y ago
This is what happens when you don't have a disaster recovery plan, or if you have one but never test it out. You need to test your disaster recovery plans to actually know if things work. Database backups are notoriously unreliable, es

I've been playing hack/nethack regularly since 1985. It's truly the greatest game ever. The best thing about it is how it has evolved over the years tastefully, unlike every other game.

The battery makes it useful for people like me. My current doorbell is placed in a location that would render my Ring useless so the battery lets me place it at a better place. It lasts about 6 months for me which is good enough.

I disagree with the authors premise that there can only be 2-3 behemoths. Has he not been paying attention to how kids use mobile apps these days? No one is locked in to a single ecosystem like they used to be. People use gchat, Facebook,

Oh okay. You're one of those people that Google a few links and then claim domain expertise. Never mind then. You're right the average salary for programmers in Silicon Valley is below $100k.

I take it you're not from the Bay Area. Base salaries over 175k are common for senior engineers (10+ years). I would say that's a common base salary for the bigger companies like Google, etc. Netflix pays $400k cash for senior eng

Sounds like you haven't read Mythical Man Month. There are a ton of issues that dictate the success or failure of an IT project and money isn't one of them. You should read the post mortem on the Target Canada debacle to understan

At my previous company, someone walked into our office and asked if we had any openings for engineers. Given that we were hiring anyway, we said sure so we talked with him. Unfortunately because of visa issues we couldn't hire him but

I've been programming for ~25 years and I still love programming. Last night I resurrected my old Xeon 8-cpu server and spent all night trying to install centos on it. Turns out my specific bios needed special settings to boot from USB

I guess you weren't around for the financial crisis of 2008/2009. The entire monetary system was under potential collapse and there would have been a severe price to pay. You can't have houses lose 200k in value without sever

You are wrong. They are independent contractors. They are not employees as defined by current labor laws. I think it is you that are blinded by your beliefs. They are not told how to do the work. Each driver chooses when they want to work a

Well, yes, that's the whole point of this article. My point is that I don't believe there is enough evidence for the judge to make this ruling.

I forgive you.

How are drivers being subjugated and what law is being violated. What evidence is there that they are actually employees besides the fact that lawyers and union activists want them to be?
