EV in it's simplest form is Mkt Cap less Cash plus Debt. Just b/c a company isn't public doesn't mean the value of the equity is unknown.
If you buy the equity of a $100M company that has $90M in Net cash then you really are only paying $10M for it. Likewise, if the company had $1B in Net debt then you are paying $1.1B for it. Theoretically, DB could issue $10B of debt and buyback $10B of equity tomorrow and that reduces their mkt cap dramatically (their regulators wouldn't be too happy about it, though).
My point is that Banks use leverage so mkt cap is NOT a decent proxy of the value of the bank. When you compare valuation of 2 companies using Market Cap for 1 or the other (or both) is VERY misleading, especially when you have one that has a business model that uses leverage.
also, Snapchat has both an EV and Mkt cap.
I am really struggling to come up with a name for a new company I am working on. Most of the names I've come up with are taken by squatters asking for a crapton for the url. How did you come up with your company's name/domain name?
What does each component of an IP Address represent? Take "215.54.87.2". According to https://www.iplocation.net/ this IP address is located in Columbus, Ohio. (I made up those numbers....it is just some random Jerry.)Does "215." essentially say the IP address is located in the US, "215.54." say it is in Ohio and "215.54.87." say it is a company in Columbus? Further, a single company would own...
I thought I'd break it up since it really is 2 questions.
For instance, take the IP address of "215.54.387.9"...if I simply use "215.54.387" and leave out the last "9" is that enough so that the IP address cannot be traced back to the user? My understanding is that a government entity, etc needs to match the HTTP referer in combination w/ the full IP address to track down the user's information, or am I wrong? Also, how would I deal with IPV6 addresses?
I am creating an app much like Reddit in that there will be upvoting & downvoting but there will not be comments nor user submissions. I don't want to track users. I don't want cookies nor anything like that. Users will not log in. I'd like an anonymous way to keep track of which users voted for what to keep integrity in the voting system...(eg allow up to n numbers of votes per user so we...
The obvious answer is Amazon but was wondering if there are cheaper options. I've thought about using Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage (.005/GB storage + .05/GB transfer out). That would only host the actual data without the server but I'm not sure it would work if I need on-demand access to it. Are there any other options?
