when your building plan has to incorporate passive protest suppression methods maybe you should consider a different line of business

The party isn’t entirely over, but you can hear someone shouting “last call.” Every couple of months I leave my small Massachusetts town — where most people still shop for their own groceries and drive their own cars — and head for the Bay Area. Suddenly, all of my cynicism and bubble worries are drowned out by the kind of unfettered optimism that only $1 billion valuations (on $0.00 earnings) can buy. But not today. Not this time. Since landing in San Francisco on Wednesday, I’ve met with an assortment of senior venture capitalists, bankers, entrepreneurs and crossover investors. All of them have, in one way or another, been involved with so-called ‘unicorn’ companies. As in the past, they are nearly unanimous in sentiment. The difference now is that their sentiment is fear. The past several years of raising too much, too high, too soon has run smack into a much more conservative investor ethos. Later-stage tech startups can still raise growth equity — and still lots of it — but not necessarily at the terms they were receiving just two months ago. “This shift is only five or six weeks old, so most companies haven’t felt it yet,” a senior tech banker explains. “But I know of many companies who raised money at $1 billion valuations last year that are now being told that, to raise money now, they need to take around $700 million or $800 million. Probably with some serious structure that protects investors, like ratchets, on top of it.

Grouted tile in the kitchen/bathroom is supposed to be a subtle way to imply you can afford housekeepers often enough to keep everything looking ok

prefect posted:do they have particularly aggressive grass and shrubbery where the sidewalk would have been? it's a four lane roadway w/ no shoulders or median, squeezed between an interstate onramp and a chainlink fence separating a light rail line literally no place for peds to be - which is kind of a problem for this project since the city now wants bike and ped facilities here (due to pressure from the employees of said corporate campus) it's p hilarious

graph posted:could you make it three lanes with 2 alternating for rush hour currently the frontrunner of my designs (the client hasn't picked one yet) has them losing both of the lanes in one direction in order to provide a class 1 bike trail that allows peds what this means is that all of the new development of this campus (they're expanding like crazy which is what spurred this project) will allow commuters into the campus from any direction, but commuters will be unable to go back the one of the two ways that they came in and get directly onto the interstate there really isn't a good solution and the city basically hosed themselves (and by extension this campus) by allowing these campus developers to decide poo poo like NOPE NO PEDS when it all got built oh yeah and since there's currently no ped facilities outside of this campus, the existing sidewalk just sorta ends at the light rail crossing - and doesn't have the necessary ADA detectable warning surfaces so i kinda wonder how blind people trying to walk off campus just don't get hit by trains (lol there are no blind people in SV) H.P.

A group of Uber drivers staged a protest outside the company's Paris office Friday morning over a recent reduction in rates across the French capital. As the French newspaper L'Express reports, the group of about 50 chauffeurs were demonstrating against a 20 percent fare reduction for the company's UberX service and a 25 percent cut for UberPool, which went into effect today. The protesters were eventually dispersed by police in riot gear. Uber introduced the rate cut in response to recent promotional campaigns from French taxi companies, which have offered lower fares for young passengers and late night trips. The San Francisco-based company said it would compensate drivers for the difference over the next six weeks, writing in a blog post that the increased volume of passengers would ultimately boost their revenue. The post also noted that drivers in New York saw their hourly turnover increase by 50 percent following a similar fare reduction, but the drivers protesting this morning apparently aren't convinced.
