"A final squeeze on the company is that it will lose its status as an emerging company under the JOBS Act by the end of this year, which would make the IPO process even more cumbersome. The act allows the company to use more lenient reporting standards about its finances and executive compensation—a potential problem for a company already dogged by governance concerns."
It might also explain why they have been so pushing so aggressively for an IPO this year.
Should we just interpret these filings as CYA measures, or do they show the company preparing for an ugly legal battle with investors? Is it possible to tell the difference?
Is there anybody here who believes WeWork will eventually be profitable? I know most of the people here are skeptics but I'm interested in hearing the other side.
Speaking of scraping, does anyone know where one can get a hold of full text news articles/press releases for nlp research? Most APIs that I have found only offer partial texts.

What do you recommend doing when Linux Freezes? It doesn't come up a lot, but when it does it can be kind of unnerving since the three-finger-salute doesn't work.
I would also love to know if anybody has a solution for getting video to play properly in Firefox. I know it's not a bug per se, but it would be nice to not have to switch between browsers all the time.
