What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

/*
  The "hello world" of neural networks: a simple 3-layer feed-forward
  network that implements an XOR logic gate.

  The first layer is the input layer. It has two neurons a and b, which
  are the two inputs to the XOR gate.

  The middle layer is the hidden layer. This has two neurons h1, h2 that
  will learn what it means to be an XOR gate.
