If you believe the freezing of House seats was at least partially motivated by racism and fear of the growing black population, it would certainly match with what we know of Wilson.
His opponent in the 1912 election, Taft, was also the last president to sign a bill increasing the number of House seats so there's that.

That’s now how I’d describe the info presented. They seem to be areas that still aren’t accepted. Married affairs being noteworthy.

You know I worked with startups this summer. And asked myself when does a company stop being a startup. And we should really all find a moment when it stops being a startup

>Congress hasn’t increased it from 435 for over 110 years
Another legacy of Woodrow Wilson.
There are many contenders for worst president ever but for me, he tops the chart easily.

Apparently they are estimated at 10 billion in 2019 which seems kinda low for a company that has a virtual monopoly on the PC platform.
My guess is that epic games gets most of their value from licensing their engine.

WSJ reported recently that OpenAI - the company behind viral AI tech like ChatGPT, Dall-E etc., is looking to sell shares at a valuation of $29B
This would make OpenAI, the 10th most valuable startup in the world.
Private companies valuations can be tough to gauge if they haven’t raised recently. To make this post, I collated info from public available media reports.
Over last 12-18 months, valuation of some of these companies has been marked down from their peak, while some others are still due for a correction:
- Epic Games (creator of Fortnite) raised in April 2022
- SpaceX and OpenAI are currently in talks to price their equity, and Fanatics raised recently in Dec-22
- Shein, ByteDance (Creator of TikTok), Stripe and Databricks have already written down their peak valuations. Some recent reports show that ByteDance may be further marked down (Link)
- Canva last raised in 2021 and is due for a correction (Note: one of Canva’s investor - Blackbird, has already written down their stake in Canva by 36% (Link)
Revolut also raised in 2021 and hasn’t marked down its valuation yet. This is quite possible in 2023, specially as 2 other large Fintech startups Klarna and Checkout.com has had a huge markdown (Klarna from $45.6B to $6.7B and Checkout $40B to $11B)
While there are many impressive companies on this list, OpenAI really stands out
- Together with Revolut, it's the youngest company in the list
- It has very few employees. Less than 500 according to most sources. All others have thousands of employees
- It has very little revenue - though the company projects to hit $1B revenue by 2024 (Link)
Note that the industry mentioned in the post is indicative to give an idea of their core businesses. In some cases, e.g. Fanatics, they engage in a lot of different businesses related to Sports fans.

It’s almost as if a lot of really smart people warned us of these outcomes, while a lot of rich people with business interests told us not to worry.

The better analogy is that this is exactly what the GOP is trying do to Medicare.

Ah didn't know that. Bromont is open and there's tons of snow in the Laurentians, but yeah it's worryingly mild.

It is normal to have -25 in Poland? I seriously doubt that.
Edit: This website says, that the coldest day on record had a temperature of -25.1C. Also current temperature in Warsaw is 5C. It is unlikely, that the temperature would fall by 30 degrees just little up north.

How is a company founded in 1991 a startup?
