> We will be treated as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the JOBS Act for certain purposes until the earlier of the date we complete this offering and December 31, 2019.

> These exemptions include ... reduced disclosure about executive compensation arrangements and no requirement to include a compensation discussion and analysis

I hadn't noticed this in recent big tech IPOs so I looked it up (Rule 12b-2):

> The term emerging growth company means an issuer that had total annual gross revenues of less than $1,070,000,000 during its most recently completed fiscal year.

So they claim to have had under $1.07B of gross revenue in 2018, but they list $1.8B in revenue on page 21.

> We ceased to be an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act on December 31, 2018. However, because we ceased to be an emerging growth company after we confidentially submitted our registration statement related to this offering to the SEC, we will be treated as an emerging growth company for certain purposes until the earlier of the date on which we complete this offering and December 31, 2019.

So they started the process before EOY 2018 where they knew they'd have $1B, so as to avoid disclosure until they are public. Sneaky!

Slack did the same thing, and had $1.05B in revenue for the previous tax-year when they registered (and $2.2B for 2018). I guess this is a convenient goalpost.

> Our membership base has grown by over 100% every year since 2014. It took us more than seven years to achieve $1 billion of run-rate revenue, but only one additional year to reach $2 billion of run-rate revenue and just six months to reach $3 billion of run-rate revenue.

To claim run-rate revenue like this feels imaginary and misleading.
One thing I found interesting when visiting the Bahamas is that every few years some entrepreneurial locals pitch the idea of using the sand from the beaches to turn it into glass. Only problem with that: the "sand" is made up of crushed coral and seashells (probably some limestone in there, too), so it's not possible to furnish glass from it.
The structural deficits in the US economy are financed - at low rates, at least - by trade deficits and currency surpluses with our trade partners. Recent tax policy changes have drastically increased the size of the US budget deficit. This was probably going to come to a head at some point anyway for a lot of reasons, but I disagree with you this won't be as bad as 2008.

Overnight low of 81° F in Houston tonight, and it probably doesn't get that cool until 2 am or so. There's no overnight cool to soak up. It's also super humid just to cooling more challenging.
A lot of that is because most end users don’t have such granular prices. They keep their AC on because why not. When price changes are concentrated on just a few users, the swings get wild.

This reminds me of a time I needed a blower fan for my refrigerator and Amazon’s recommended one for next day delivery seemed suspiciously underpriced. I ordered it despite my trepidation that the item was going to be made out of silly putty by a Chinese pirate. Upon receipt, I discovered the serial number was filed off and I rested assured that it was a quality OEM but probably stolen. The motor is still working great which is more than one can say for Amazon.
Lottery winners will tell you that playing the lottery was the smartest decision they ever made.
I've heard that argument but it's wrecking parts of the ag sector, hurting manufacturing (big parts of his base), and will probably push all consumer prices up. I guess if his base can't put 2 and 2 together that prices are rising due to his tariffs it almost makes sense.

But I don't think it's that simple, he's clearly a coin operated guy so which coin is operating him to escalate this trade war?
Buying a house means taking over a payment and tax liability, it's not just about owning and controlling an asset. Confidence in the financial system is apparently so low that someone is willing to pay you fictitious money now in return of fewer actual cash in the future.
You're right, the mistake I was making was not realising that the calculation was for leased office space as an entire industry, rather than as their plausible potential customer base.

Since their actual market is more niche (in practice it seems to be satellite offices, startups and remote workers) than general commercial office space, I'd still propose that it's significantly overstated, but thanks for the correction regardless.
All consumer broadband providers everywhere are heavily overprovisioned. Guaranteed bandwidth costs hundreds to thousands of dollars per month.

I haven't seen more recent studies on this, but as of 2014, U.S. providers were less overprovisioned than ones in Europe: https://www.law.upenn.edu/live/files/3352

> During peak hours, U.S. actual
download speeds were 96% of what was advertised,
compared to Europe where consumers received only
74% of advertised download speeds. The U.S. also
fared better in terms of latency and packet loss.
I use a generic yet ambidextrous logitech wireless mouse. Other than making sure I have proper forearm/wrist position, one thing that I did that made a big difference is I started using the mouse with my left hand. Giving my right hand/wrist time to rest for weeks at a time has been very beneficial. I get far fewer cramps and much less tightness now. It definitely took some time to get used to it, but using my left hand started to feel comfortable way faster than I thought it would. Might be worth a shot!

I am on Comcast/Xfinity with a 400mb/s plan and yet I still have a 1TB cap. My household, between Steam, Blizzard, Netflix, others, can easily get close to that cap. If I surpass the cap, my costs go up exponentially.

Until a few years ago the cost to get additional IP addresses on most business ISPs was pretty minimal. The ISP my company uses does not even charge for additional IP addresses, you just need to give good reasons for why you need a larger IP space. With a previous ISP, additional IP addresses were about $10/mo but the cost of service was easily 3-4x similar rated speeds as a residential connection. Most of the additional cost is due to increased capacity planning and faster service times.

Network congestion is a real thing. If everyone else in my neighborhood is streaming Netflix in 4k, it's going to reduce my connection's performance. Why shouldn't the cable company charge them more for that? If we all pay the same, I'm subsidizing them.
Santa Cruz Bicycles and Cervelo | Jr-Mid Front End Developer Salt Lake City, UT | Full Time | Onsite

Santa Cruz and Cervelo Bicycles are looking for a front end developer to join our new shared web development team. You’ll work with a small team to create great online experiences as we enhance our rider facing and dealer facing web platforms.

Since we are a small team you’ll need to wear many hats. This candidate will need to have great design skills, and the development skills to translate design to production code, along with the pragmatism to prioritize getting things done vs pixel perfectness. We presently have Magento and Drupal in production but you’ll be part of the team responsible for selecting the technologies to move us into the future, so language experience is less important than a desire to learn.

Requirements: HTML, CSS, JS, and 1 year of professional development experience.

If you have a passion for bikes, design, and development, please send your resume and portfolio, or any questions to me! Email address can be found in profile
There are couple more points why it would not turn into recession.

Last 10 years people bought a lot more ETFs so it is not like someone will call their broker screaming "SELL SELL SELL". Online brokers are a thing now but you have much more data visible in online interfaces. Like fees for selling all your stuff "RIGHT NOW". With more information easily available and people understanding what ETFs are, there is a huge stabilizing element in stock market.

Games and internet goods are now real, not like 2008 or at the time of .com bust. Though those things are still virtual in essence but they affect real life much more than earlier. So even if there is manufacturing slowdown, no one has numbers on how much people are spending on virtual stuff. Sales of books, movies, software went really up, because delivery mechanisms of today were not there 10 years ago.

People who knew technology like me 10 years ago did not had money to spend it on virtual stuff. People who grew up playing computer games are now in their 40ies or 30ies. Now they have money and can spend it on stuff that previous gen was seeing as stupid.

That said virtual goods market still has plenty of potential to grow. There are multiple jobs to fill for filtering and creating content. There was no such thing as "influencer" or full time youtuber 10 years ago. In the end, no there is no artificial intelligence or algorithm that can filter original content or create one.

Manufactured good you can sell once, virtual good you can create once and sell to everyone.
Not in the case of real estate. There you might have to repay the outstanding debt immediately including any losses of the bank. Unless you manage to sell the financing along the real estate. For private persons, investors and developers are different I think in terms of credit conditions.
I just thought of a horrifying thought. Bernie becomes president, recession hits inauguration day. Banks start to fail, but he doesnt bail anyone out because 'bernie cant be bought'. At least obama did the right thing and saved the economy.
Shame because Hallucinogen was great (Shamanix and a few other tracks were truly awesome) and Celtic Cross was a ton of fun. I wish there was more like this, but Posford is pretty singular in this arena IMO.
The diff is that Automattic hasn't yet returned money to its investors -- so it's a startup by that definition.
If you mean not naive in the sense that Exxon knew of the effects of the emissions they helped create and continued with no change except for spreading disinformation: you are correct, they aren't naive.

>I don't feel like I benefit from a new brand of jerky brand with razor thin profit margins every week.

Then find a brand or local business that makes what you want. You'll pay out the nose online probably, but I've found a modestly priced local place that makes great jerky because as you said the store stuff is...not great, and questionable.
The down payment is the hardest part. "Just barely able to make payments" people are better off when rates are high because that depresses prices resulting in a lesser dollar amount for whatever the down-payment is.

The Fed can replace / deal with China's treasury holdings relatively easily at this point, especially given the strength of the dollar. While $15t in global paper is yielding nothing or worse, the US is still yielding something and is still largely regarded as entirely safe by investors. China is no longer a threat to the treasury market re selling, even though more aggressive selling on their part would definitely cause some real short-term turmoil. They can rock the boat, they can't tip it over and the Fed would stabilize things quickly in reaction.

Over the next ten years the public US debt will hit $32 trillion give or take (possibly closer to $35t; I'm expecting a +$3.5t deficit in just two years in the next recession), about 1.2x to 1.3x GDP at that point. China's share of that $32-$35 trillion will be a mere 3% or lower. By the day their position becomes less meaningful (at this point the US Government is running up enough new public debt to equal China's treasury holdings every year, and that's before the recession blows out the deficit).

The practical reason is that the people who use more data are exactly the people who are willing to pay more for internet service. Can't really fault a company for squeezing the customers that have proven themselves more dependent on internet service.

that's sloppy thinking.

I'd much rather they built bunkers, them not doing so is just a sign that they're pursuing pipe dreams instead of reality. It's not a lack of commitment to the ideal they're pursuing, it's a recognition that the ideal is rarely achieved fully.

Such a person who can strive for the ideal but plan for the reality of the situation is exactly who I'd want pursuing the ideal on behalf of all of us because they're likely to be both wise and persistent.
Don’t put the burden on your neighbors, put in on your ISP to upgrade their infrastructure. You all agreed to a level of service, time for your ISP to live up to it.
Well I can't argue with that.
It looks like the management was involved in writing their own biographies. I can see why some people would want to spice up their IPO.
Sure. It's a courier company management tool that tracks delivery jobs, staff and clients.

We automate many repetitive tasks like order intake and have tools to surface delivery data for analysis like peak volume periods by day of the week or Geo.

The business of it has given me a venue to learn various web techs in a real production environment as well allowed me to be an active care giver to my kid and probably got me my job now considering I'm a highschool dropout.
Yeah but that's being rather disingenuous. 99.9% of the time, the time difference between when an event occurs and when we perceive it is negligible.

In situations on the universal scale, it is incredible to know that no matter what, we will only be able to see the distant past (thousands to millions of years) for most other celestial bodies.

Matt said they're not going to, but I wouldn't count on that being the final word on the subject. He's supportive of adult content in principle, his reasons for maintaining the ban are business reasons. If the community persists in demanding that it be lifted, I wouldn't be surprised to see a business solution present itself in the future.
Maybe his profit quote was vague or excluding Amazon fees. That's not that far off without having to do liquidation. Which is also a viable way to make money selling on Amazon.

> It doesn't cost any more to have equipment sending packets as it does to have the equipment idle.

I'm not sure that's even true. I'd expect power consumption as well as 'wear and tear' to be less, and possibly significantly so, at idle versus continuous use.

> Data caps are a measure invented to extract money, not serve customers or packets.

Some people will definitely test the limits of anything that's supposedly unlimited. I imagine you're partially correct but I suspect data caps are the most comprehensible product attribute for ISPs to limit the relevant costs.

> If the cable companies were worried about fairness, they'd really be speaking in terms of bandwidth reservations at peak times and encouraging use during off-peak hours, and similar things.

I'd imagine that'd be an even harder sell than congestion pricing for motor vehicle traffic. It is mostly just a 'fact' of the world that almost everyone is going to want bandwidth at the same times. The costs of transitioning to any other arrangement are considerable. And Netflix is probably the player most able to adjust. I'm not sure if they still do, but they did at one time host a lot of their content in ISP data centers.
Shpongle is psychedelic, but is it Psytrance? Posford also did Hallucinogen which was properly Psytrance.

I have run a similar service for a number of years: https://disposeamail.com/

These services can be quite useful for legitimate things, but they also tend to be a magnet for spam, porn, scams, etc. (which is the point, really - so these types of email don't wind up in your real inbox).

Because if there are that many people in your neighborhood who can stream Netflix in 4K, the ISP can lay fiber in a densely populated area making a metric shit ton of money for the foreseeable future, and the pipes will not be clogged. They can easily fit everyone in their fiber infrastructure.

The ISP isn't losing money from offering fiber to New Yorkers. They lose money by paying for infrastructure in less populated areas in middle America. They're trying to make up for that by making urban customers effectively subsidize the Capex the company needs to spend elsewhere

This is a problem in the US and not elsewhere because it's a massive country with people spread all over
Not bad faith, just bias! I do trust environmentalists, more than I trust basically everyone else in the public sphere.

But there's a reason the article keeps using the word conservationist instead :)
Those guaranteed rate agreements are tens of times more expensive than consumer internet connections. The whole reason why consumer internet connections are so much cheaper is that they're based on the premise that most people will have bursty behavior. (Download a 25MB facebook page at 400 mbps then idle.) For such usages, it's far better to let everyone achieve high burst rates sometimes, and then implement policies to discourage streaming at high rates all the time, then to limit everyone to the maximum guaranteed bandwidth the network can handle.

It's not incorrectly rounded. It's correctly rounded to two decimal places in either case. Two decimal places just isn't enough digits when you give it 1 USD, so you have to give it 1000 USD.

It's possible but because there are other fabric/data-plane ASICs are are not an order of magnitude harder than Cisco's chips most time is spent on those instead.

The problem with the Cisco ones is mostly because they sit somewhere in between FPGAs and a Barrel CPU. Without the custom loading and init they are essentially useless.

Think of them as an FPGA with a softcore CPU. If they are empty they have no CPU so you can't run code on them. If you fill them with Cisco core data you get no use out of them without logging in to their DRM server. So you need to feed them the softcore but without the cisco runtime code.

Did you read the article, the guy threatening him took one of his batteries from one truck (as a peace offering, this showed weakness on his part) and the other was dead, he was trying to get his boy to wire him money so he could get out.

Going meatless would save money, if anything. Recycling or buying multi-use containers also eventually costs less than single use, especially at scale.

Also, credit where it's due to We. Just because the common opinion of this company is negative, doesn't mean literally everything they do is bad.

Sure, as I said, Classical Chinese is a different language. That it's hard to understand for speakers of modern Sinitic languages is not surprising. On the contrary, it's remarkable that people can have some success at reading texts in a language whose pronunciation they don't have the faintest idea of.
Not really. “As a result, oddities now abound. Danish lender Jyske Bank last week issued a 10-year mortgage bond at an interest rate of minus 0.5 per cent, meaning homeowners are being paid to borrow.”

In fact the providers of the capital will pay the bank for those mortgage-backed bonds (they get a negative yield). The bank will get some spread from the client, who will also pay.
