qirex posted:the softbank purchase valued uber down to 45 bil from 68, no way are they at 72 now the people who cashed out to softbank, including kalanick and google ventures, did so at a 45 bil valuation. the additional 1.25b cash infusion was at 69/72 bil valuation. yes it's stupid. also the whole practice of saying valuation = new money * new shares / (new shares + old shares) is total bullshit as we know anyway. the new shares are almost always loaded with ratchets and covenants and such that makes them worth anywhere from 1-5x common stock that employees and whoever else get.

mega agreedo on spotify being doomed and also lol at $20 billion valuation. but good on them for sticking it to the banks on an ipo. underwriters take fees of 6% for doing what exactly? giving insiders a cut on a day one pop leaving founders in the lurch? gently caress em.

Sagebrush posted:everyone hated that. it's an extremely confusing way of writing it (no one cares how many litres of fuel they have to buy to go 100km; if they were doing the calculations, it would be how many kilometres they can go on one litres) and the nature of the ratio makes it very nonlinear at the common ranges. a car that gets 3l/100km is way, way better than one that uses 5l/100km, but one that does 17l is not that different from one that does 20l. mathematically this makes sense but to an average human it is obscure and confusing. furthermore, no one had any idea what the new units meant, or whether their car that gets 11l/100km is better or worse than their old jeep that did 14mpg. This is all p lol but isn't this completely backwards? The difference between 8 and 10 mpg is double the difference between 18 and 20 basically, while the difference between 3 and 5 and and n and n+2 is always 2 in fuel/distance.

Xaris posted:only travel related, but air norwegian has really cheap flights out of oakland for like $200. has anyone flown them and is the 787 actually a lot more comfortable to fly internationally? i heard humidity or somethingi s better so you dont get dried out nose/throat and face ya same here in seattle. for some reason you don't get their poo poo in the results if you use expedia or flights.google or whatever. my boss used it and said it was v nice and they're hell of cheap. win win or me if they force ba to get a bit cheaper imo.

Jonny 290 posted:probably the scariest moment of my life, my glasses flew off so i was instantly basically blind, its 7:45 am, a drunk person just immobilized my BMW which is now totaled and i have to get out of the danger area but i can't see. do i keep looking for my glasses or bail into the median Yeah same but it was an f450 utility truck. My front end looked even worse than the back since I was plowed forward in to 5 more cars.

does anyone expect we'll get a forensic analysis of what the neural net was predicting and the lidar/other inputs in the runup to the collision? not even braking at all is so shamefully poor performing i'm both surprised and not surprised.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:seriously why is it always amazon we're hearing the weird bathroom-denial stories about? and not even just their warehouses, even their loving office buildings are notorious for not having enough bathrooms. this is true and funny and it's because of the horrendous gender imbalance in their corporate office, at least in some divisions/buildings. also, my favourite osha graph
