Founders could either get paid through secondary as well or through new employment agreements. Secondary is much more tax efficient, otherwise it doesn't really matter

i thought so at first, but I did some digging and changed my mind. it's possible the following is how it goes: - secondary transaction with the preferred shareholders (VCs) at some price that implies a 20b valuation - founders quit and

I don't think you can treat owners of the same shares differently in the way this is suggesting. The VC shareholders and the employee shareholders are probably on equal footing and getting the same price. VCs will own preferred but I d

Kind of both? "While Ive and LoveFrom will remain independent, they will take over design for all of OpenAI, including its software. Altman said his first conversations with Ive weren’t about hardware, but rather about how to improve t

Especially when you consider all the tax affordances related to owning real estate vs. equities.

So exciting! We'd be walking amongst our GAI brethren this very day if it weren't for the computational limits of those pesky RNGs!

out of curiosity, why is this a "terms" and not a license? I'm used to reading and understanding the software as coming with a license to use it. Do the terms give us license to use this explicitly?

Maybe a dumb question, but why is there a Terms instead of a license? That feels a little flimsier as an open source offering

If you click the three dots on a recommendation you can select "show less like this" and you won't see recommendations from that subreddit. Also, there is a setting in user settings to prevent recommendations from subs you do

I wonder if this will help with the iOS app's battery drain issues. VPNs of any kind come with a battery penalty, but some of these issues might have exacerbated that

That's a strange interpretation of a new upstart utility pricing itself out of competition.

OK I lied and opened the article: "FX swap markets, where for example a Dutch pension fund or Japanese insurer borrows dollars and lends euro or yen before later repaying them, have a history of problems." Isn't this false? I

Calling the total notional value of a pile of swaps "debt" is really misleading. If you and I do $1m in fx swaps, in no sense do either of us owe each other $1m. Currency swaps settle daily I think, so if one of us goes bust all t

I think what you're describing is nonlocality? It's well-described by quantum mechanics, which sits on top of regular old continuous spacetime. Is that not the direct mapping you're talking about?

He doesn’t need MAE here, he would need to show the company broke a covenant - specifically the one saying they will provide reasonable answers / data to his inquiries. It’s a stretch, though

What would the remedy be, though? Would the court say you had a contract so you have to sell/transfer the domain? Or would they say, you're in breach of a contract and so Jump can sue you for damages from your breach of the contra

Think about how much bullshit you can justify with this argument. if someone has to defend their tech by using analogy to the early web, it's probably bullshit

Your logic would make it seem like a hostile takeover would be accepted with any premium, and companies routinely have to bid 40 or 50% higher. Maybe it's different with a poison pill in place as the onus is on the board, but I don&#x2
