Sale to a larger competitor pays out too. Legally speaking, they have to buy all the shares of stock at some price. That price has to make the investors happy. You should be sure that your number of shares * price that will make an investor happy, will make you happy.
Lying to you about the number of shares would be a crime that would get them in trouble when they try to IPO. Not telling you is perfectly legal.
In terms of the value of stock:
A) assume the company will be valued by the market at 3x the yearly gross.
B) Now you need to know how many shares of stock there will be after the ipo. If the company is healthy enough and far enough along, you can get a statement that will tell you how many shares they have issued or are authorized to issue. Assume they will issue the max, and add up all those numbers.
Divide A by B = very rough approximation of share price after IPO.
Another estimate can be had by assuming that the investors in the last round of financing were reasonably competent and expect to sell their shares for no less than 5x their buy-in price in a success scenario.
But this is all voodoo. Until you actually get to the IPO, there are a lot of things that can happen.
Really... I've had pretty positive impressions with ones from linked-in so far. Good job relevance, I have the right qualifications, reasonably promising seeming opportunities.
If I hadn't made myself so vital to my current employer that I get paid more than I'm worth to anyone else, I'd definitely be taking a lot more interviews from them. As it is, I still take about one every three months.
It's good if you're experienced and good at your job. There is a huge flood of bad candidates out there, but also many open positions. Companies are just being picky, because they can. I get recruiters trying to bribe me into taking interviews two or three times a week from linked-in.
Like using the GPS to help them find a good route to their getaway destination.
The article is 100% wrong about the availability of gpu instances. So this is definitely possible without Amazon's service. Amazon's service is just making it cheaper.
Really, he had affordable remote cameras that could be installed in every home and business, and computers to analyze all the speech and bring troublesome ones to the attention of authorities?
Yeah, I had hoped that the odd insertion of always at war with Eurasia would at least force a double take that might cause someone to look it up, but apparently not.
I don't think there's any evidence for that. Central planning should lose to decentralized planning any time information isn't fully centralized, which is always.
And it will still be Open Source. Just as we have always been at war with Eurasia. Authoritarian regimes tell you what words mean, and what reality is.
It's a dictatorial business strategy. Yes, it is evil. Open computing has changed our world dramatically for the better. And every phone company out there apparently wants to put a stop to that.

Sorry, I replied too fast in an attempt to be polite, my brain hadn't made the connection yet.
Yes, he's in fact actually named for one of the employees.
You lost the bet. It's the codominium books.
Nope.
Yes. (And because the book hits you over the head with the expression ' on the gripping hand '.)

Yikes ... definitely not the right people ... they should be getting their cut from the other side.

Well, looks like the trend has turned and you've picked up some interesting now.
Cheers.

No kidding. I worked 80+ for 1.5 years on Diablo II. That hurt. And I was still considered the guy who didn't spend enough time in the office.
Risk averse employees with average or lower skill sets might have difficulty nabbing an alternative job.
The third hand is traditionally referred to as 'the gripping hand' in nerd circles.

Sorry, I guess maybe what was unclear in my post was that I meant implementing it successfully, which means forever.

Closed computing kills people by slowing the rate of advancement of lifesaving discoveries. It is evil.

BTW, if you haven't read 1984 you may not have fully understood my comment.
The definition of Open Source is as malleable as any other definition to the authoritarian/fascist state.
And it will still be Open Source. Just as we have always been at war with Eurasia. Authoritarian regimes tell you what words mean, and what reality is.
It's sadly true. The technology for implementing fascism is getting better every day, and the US is sadly headed very rapidly in that direction.
