"Our default terms now include a residual “stake” for Earnest after the Return Cap has been fully repaid."

If that's true I take it all back, but the way I read "long-term residual" was that even after you paid it back they still got a piece of the action.

Not necessarily, equity and loans both have conditions around them. Sometimes loans are more punitive than equity. Taking common stock has almost zero downside for instance, it's when you get in to preferred equity and the rights that come along with it that you can get in trouble.

"In most cases, we’ll agree on a long-term residual stake for Earnest if you ever sell the company or raise more financing. We want to be on your team for the long-term, but don’t want to provide any pressure to “exit.”"

This seems to imply that they get a % of an exit or future financing even once the cap has been reached. That is functionally warrants right?

I always feels it's disingenuous to say you don't take equity if you ask for warrants or other % of the upside - it's essentially a proxy for equity. When you factor in a 3-5X cap, PLUS warrants - this doesn't seem like a better deal than something like Lighter Capital which has a smaller cap and zero warrants.

You can do this, just set your phone to Do Not Disturb and then set it to "allow calls from my contacts"

It looks like you will be charged more for on-demand but I don't see a list of the rates yet, anyone find them?

I still have a 3.25 "floppy" with my QFG character on it.

This post has third party JS in it from Google Analytics that looks to be accepting a bunch of fairly unique looking parameters.

We have been using this at Adzerk since an early beta and it's been just what we needed. We used to pay 2% to another cloud pricing company and we were able to cancel that since we started using CloudForecast.io, saving us thousands of dollars a month. If you find yourself not using all the fancy features of the bigger tools, save yourself some money and use this great tool instead.

There is some work going on to remove Javascript, but it is slow going. Most publishers won't trade off revenue for performance and security so there is no incentive for the buyers to change their ways.
