A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
Public shares will never control more than 49.9% of the company.
Yeah.
But they bring many, many more people onboard to help pumping the bubble and later pressure the government to save them once that absolute insanity finally bursts.
There was an issuance in Canada where the family controlled like 90% of the company. It caused the public shares to do really weird things, I actually made a pile of money over the years off them, but I would never hold them for long term or from a value perspective, just arbitrage. It’s lunacy.
