The important thing you mentioned is the same news as the fact that they have exclusive rights. Exclusivity means other outlets can't show it.

I don't think 'selling stuff with a margin' was ever their business model. In almost every aspect of their business they act as a platform (platform to sell things to consumers, ho…

I believe you might be thinking about a non-compete vs. a non-disclosure agreement?

As i'm not too familiar with email as a standard, could you elaborate on how this undermines it?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by weirdly dystopian? I don't feel like I got the same vibe.

It isn't really counting and choosing a winner though. It's an example of the gale-shapley algorithm for the stable marriage problem - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_…

Not sure I see how it's relevant to the discussion... The article you linked talks about Woodman's stock grants, and mentions how stock option repricing is used primarily by compan…

Agree that bullshit offers need to be weeded out, but I don't think it would make sense for an Acquiror to propose a price without sufficient information to base that price on. Jus…

Agreed, that's why I've always thought of it as an implied valuation. Investors are going into it expecting upside, and the terms allow them to have a floor (regardless of what hap…

After reading through the quora article, I agree that different tranches may have different terms. However, if investors are buying 70M shares at $1 each, it implies that they beli…

Love how simple and focused it is. Would be great to learn more about the process you went through and the tools you used to build it!

Curious - why did you feel the need to start your comment like that rather than just saying 'I'm happy to see Lfyt's years of efforts in improving transportation paying off. This i…

Even more, I think! Days in a year: ~365 x 8 = 2,920; 1,000,000 / 2,920 = 342.5 miles per day W/o weekends: ~260 x 8 = 2,080; 1,000,000 / 2,080 = 480.8 miles per day That's more th…

Google ventures invested $258M in Uber about a year ago, I'd say it's highly likely that if self-driving cars pan out, there'll be an Uber fleet of them.

Not saying I disagree. I don't think people should be looking at GAAP vs. Non-GAAP if they don't understand that one vs. the other doesn't make the company more or less profitable.…

Both are non-cash expenses, so makes sense to consider financials without them when looking at GAAP vs. Non-GAAP. They're certainly operational charges, but somewhat distort P&L.

Looks great. I'd use this for videos on my laptop that I want to cast, so definitely looking forward to video support!

I feel like this comment was made without reading the post. "Uber’s growth potential rests not only on being able to claim a larger share of the car-service market but also on expa…

Great write-up. For those interested and not already aware, Damodaran's own site has lots of great posts on finance and valuation. This article seems to build on his original analy…

That sounds awesome, any details on what kind of setup you have on the Pi for home automation? Would love to try and setup something similar!

Thanks Markus! It's great for the community to have data like this to learn from. I've tabulated the image for anyone interested in looking at it as a spreadsheet, which can be fou…
