Scary_GuyWell, there's a learning curve but speed does improve over time.  I either want that or a keyboard with a meta key.  maybe I can remap the menu key on a windows keyboard or something but this Ducky I'm using doesn't even have a Windows/Super key00:07
jrwren mongodb ipo. 40M in cash, 400M in debt. 100M revenue on 160M expense. so... 1B valuation... what do you think they will actually try to raise?01:17
cmaloneySteve Jobs01:27
jrwren"We could be negatively impacted if the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 and other open source licenses under which some of our software is licensed are not enforceable."01:27
cmaloneyBecause those numbers are terrible01:27
jrwrenwow.01:27
jrwrenlol, @ trying to raise steve jobs.01:27
jrwrenthose numbers aren't that bad.01:27
cmaloneyI don't understand the 1B valuation01:28
cmaloneyThat reads like assumed income01:28
jrwrenten times earning is std valuation01:28
cmaloneyIt might be std, but it feels like fiction01:30
cmaloneyespecially on something like MongoDB01:30
cmaloneyBut then again I've been wrong on financial matters so take my prognostication with appropriate grains of salt01:31
cmaloneyIt is cool that they're putting the AGPL et al as risks if they are unenforceable01:34
cmaloneyThough I would put "PostgreSQL takes over our mindshare" as a risk. ;)01:35
jrwreni'm trying to find companies that have similar revenue, but stock screeners suck :)01:37
cmaloneyyes01:38
cmaloneyThe only thing that they have to sell is their brand01:38
cmaloneyIt reminds me a lot of Twitter01:38
jrwrenCARS as in CARS.com has a bit more revnue, but similar market valueation and similar lack of profit ;)01:41
jrwrenyes, twiter, snapchat, atlassian.01:41
cmaloneyAtlassian is not as much in that category01:41
cmaloneythey have a private product that they sell01:41
jrwrenBOX is similar enough too01:42
cmaloneybut Twitter doesn't sell a product01:42
cmaloneySnapchat doesn't sell a product01:42
cmaloneyand MongoDB doesn't sell a product, they sell a service01:42
cmaloney(iirc)01:42
jrwrenhuh, carbonite on the other hand... weird. I wonder why carbonite is so under rated.01:42
jrwrenmongodb sells products.01:43
jrwrenno different than oracle or msft sells products01:43
jrwrenthis is fun, i've never really looked through small cap tech companies before.01:44
jrwrenetreme networks, zomg, their revenue dried up.01:44
cmaloneyMongoDB has Atlas01:45
cmaloneyEverything else you can download afaict01:45
cmaloneyOh, sorry, enterprise requires a subscription01:45
jrwrenproducts, services... what is the difference tehse days :)01:46
jrwrenmore revenue than netgear!01:46
cmaloneyNetgear is taking a beating01:47
jrwrenwhoa, rambus still exists.01:47
cmaloneywheeee02:48
Scary_GuyI watch a couple stocks for fun.  TSLA and AMD are both in the red by quite a bit now10:31
cmaloneymorning12:40
mrgoodcatcmaloney: valuations are 99% bs 99% of the time13:05
mrgoodcatrev*10 may be standard but I agree its bs13:06
mrgoodcatthere just isn't a better marker13:06
cmaloneyIt just reminds me of some friends who had an assumed income for their mortgage that was essentially fiction13:16
jrwreni much prefer earnings*10 to rev*10, but when you have no earnings, its tough, because then your valuation would be zero or negative. Which makes sense, why value a company that loses money?13:30
cmaloney*cough*13:35
_stink__because eyeballs!13:47
jrwrenoh man... http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/copy_file_range.2.html  sweet syscall, sendfile with length limits. I wondered why I never heard of it and it was added in 4.5.21:43
jrwrenerr wait... no socket support?  I need to play21:45
