Not necessarily. It depends on how much they raised, since investors get preferred stock.

I am honestly not sure why this is getting down voted. The nest thermostat does continue to work as intended when offline. Of course you won't be able to use the app while you are away to control it.

The point is that with 1000 people working on it, 999 are working for free.

Seems like poor management. It is crazy to me that a membership based place like this could shutdown at such short notice. Expansion should have waited to see profitability. If the model didn't work in new locations, shut those down.

You miss some key products (>1B Users) Google has created completely within: Search, GMail, Maps, Calendar, etc. Many of Google's products did start from acquisitions. Though those startups can't claim all the credit. Most wou

What is your evidence that Google has "stopped innovating"? In my opinion Google is very focused on making sure that innovation doesn't stop, because if it stops they will lose.

This is a pretty ridiculous statement. Implying that software engineers make all the decisions at all the Alphabet companies is misguided. Of course each org hires area experts so that they can build products that actually solve the problem

The point of the spectrum is that everyone has some place on it, including you. To make a general statement about people that are on a slightly different part of the spectrum is a form of discrimination.

Was that really surprising? The company that builds the first self driving cars will have an easy entrance into the ride service industry.

When a friend first recommended hackernews to me it didn't show up in google searches. So I gave up. I think techcrunch finally led me to finding it. By the time I actually created an account(just 10 days before nathan^), people were a

Perhaps this makes it cleaner for Alphabet to sell equity in the other bets, as they have in Verily ( https://www.recode.net/2017/1/26/14399042/verily-health-tech... ).

I don't understand what your point is. The Bay Area is a desirable place to be and demand isn't going to magically shrink.

They don't. That was the point. It is really 5% + 3%.
323.
by stingrae 9y ago
I think the 5% doesn't even include the financial transaction which is another 3% that goes to stripe. People give Kickstarter the 5% for the marketing and trust the platform tries to build.

I was thinking that you could have trains that are longer than the length of the platform and have multiple steps to fill it.

by stingrae 9y ago
Instead of cancelling trains, why not take the unused cars and make the running trains longer? I understand that the stations may not be able to handle the length. You could stagger entries so that the first half of the train loads, pulls f

There is more to it than just the 4 year vesting schedule. Such as how long the startup gives people to execute options and the amount of taxes owed if you have to execute within 3 months.
