Yeah, I don't know how this is really avoidable; a FS could add all sorts of stuff to a file that isn't supported by other filesystems.. what are you supposed to do with it?
Ask HN: Founder claims I never purchased options, but I deposited checks
My previous company (Bay Area startup) was acquired by a Fortune 500. I reached out the founders, congratulating them and asking about my options. The Fortune 500 lawyer team responds saying "[they] do not have a record of any shares held by [me]". I reply back with a copy of a check I made out to Bay Area startup with a Memo explaining that this money is to purchase the options. The check was cashed and endorsed with the Founder's signature on the back.

Other than this check and the 83b election document, I don't have any other documentation about how many options I own.

PLEASE HELP. I don't know how to proceed. Do I begin Arbitration or find an attorney?

I am totally put off right now, feeling betrayed by the founders.

Edit: Thanks everyone for the warm thoughts and advice--I'm looking for a lawyer now. Really glad I posted.
Your comment is needlessly dismissive, and to be honest, just incorrect.

The cultures that are dominant today aren't dominant due to mere reproductive success. Ironically, fertility is low in almost all developed nations.
Definitely misleading -- "document metadata" seems materially different from "file metadata".
Not really.

Fiat currencies today are issued and backed by governments. When the government fails and the country falls into deep debt or other issues, they currency becomes devalued.

So everything is ultimately backed by something to an extent. In this case if it's an ICO it is used for transact with this company on their product, which is the underlying backing. So if the company falls apart, it would stand to reason that the coin would drop in price, since it isn't backed by anything.

Not saying they are the same, simply pointing out that there is a link.

You can also look at the currencies of countries and their value compared to other currencies when they go through various economic turmoil.
Is this even remotely surprising to anybody?

All these ICOs are pump and dump schemes at best. This guy just seems to have ditched the formalities and simply stolen the money.
I used it to see what it was like and I cannot for the life of me see why it has a billion dollar valuation. Its like pixlr.com?
Sounds like he was pretty good, but I wonder about this part:

> Damore received the highest possible rating twice, including in his most recent performance review, and consistently received high performance

How are these ratings done, by the team/manager or externally? IME when it's done by the same team then reviews are more about politics than performance.
I use Apple Pay everyday with my watch. Used it all over the UK when I was there. My favorite Apple tech to date.
My advice is to keep emails short and try to focus on as few different points as possible - this will get you a much quicker response.

I tend to request confirmations a lot (i.e. "can you confirm x") to make sure there's a shared understanding: just because you've written something in a previous email doesn't mean the recipient actually read it.
Thanks for pointing that out! I had no idea it existed.
I agree. But is explicitly not that. Often your currency is backed by nothing at all, with no potential for it to even be worth anything.
> The development of computing has occurred rapidly and recently, and after air travel and telephony, such that there really is only one global culture for it.

I agree and acknowledge that. But many other fields are much older than computing, and arose independently in separate countries (medicine, childcare, law, organised crime, nursing, farming, cooking, construction, etc). If your hypothesis were true we should expect strong, consistent gender biases in all those fields. And we would expect that the dominant gender in different fields would vary across different cultures. But we see the opposite of that in the world - the dominant gender in different professions is remarkably consistent between isolated cultures. In the case of child care its even consistent cross-species.

SSC had a much more in-depth analysis than I'll manage in this comment. The onus is on you to explain why we don't see that actually happen in the world, as would be predicted by your theory.

I understand why this feels true, but in practice it is easier today than it has ever been to make novel user interfaces for programmers and users. There are no gatekeepers between you and your code editor. Please experiment with this; I'd love to see what you come up with.

with PCID, you only flush the kernel mappings out of the TLB (as user mappings are the same). Without PCID you can only flush TLB or not, so you do, and thus user mappings are gone too and need to be repopulated.
They are still making a lot of money selling Windows. Every OEM has to buy a copy of Windows.

The only difference is that now they don't charge for upgrades. Which is extremely smart because the cost of supporting people on decade old OSes probably significantly exceeds the revenues earned from consumers who are buying Windows upgrades to their existing PCs.

Oh, and enterprise licenses are the same, if I am not mistaken.

Frankly, MS not making updates free earlier was them shooting themselves in their foot.
Because they work in different ways, that's what I'm fond of doing for myself and my children. Start with ibuprofen, then try a table of acetaminophen a couple of hours later.

If it's a really bad headache, start with one of each.

This is so true. The strategy that I have to not eat sugar is to not buy it. Because if I have anything sweet in the home, that apple will rot on the table.

I think the main issue these days is a lack of root cause analysis, so solutions tend to be superficial. Of course I'm not referencing things like the polio vaccine, but for the past few years my mantra has been "strike at the root", but after I've waded through the branches to get to a root I look up and see hardly anyone else is there, it gets lonely.

Politics is the perfect example of this in my opinion.
I doubt the claim of "plenty" of cars coming with ANC built in, but even if all cars came with it, that form of noise cancellation is to national safety standards, specifically for the use of being in a car while on the road. The ANC in Bose headphones are for an entirely different purpose so it's like comparing apples to oranges.

Furthermore, Bose, and basically all other ANC headphones work at isolating and cancelling off the low frequencies you'd typically find in plane engines, which are also most of the time the kinds of frequencies that are also used on a boring road trip where you're the only one on a long stretch of highway (your exact use case). Speech and honks and police alarms aren't things you'd expect to find in this scenario, but early warnings of your car breaking down, or things happening outside of your car that would affect your car do.

Seriously, stop using your headphones while driving. It's illegal in many places for a reason, and you're missing out on far more auditory cues than you realize because your brain is good at moving sensory information into the background when it doesn't deem it as important. Let your brain do its job, it's not that hard to listen to the podcast over your car's BT/AUX connection.
Wait 1 minute to see how many people waited 1 minute: mining social experiment
I tried this about a year ago, and I initially couldn't figure out how to get the laptop screen to turn off when I closed the laptop. After I figured that out, then I couldn't figure out how to get it to turn on after I opened the laptop. That was the end of my attempts, and I went back to OSX.

Did you ever run into these issues? If so, do you have any suggestions for resolving them?
You're welcome!
I wish I knew the details, but I'm sure they're explicitly laid out somewhere, and I'm sure you can find them just as easily as me.

I'm also sure that the reason "most companies" didn't apply for one is that they didn't meet the technical or operational requirements, whatever they are.

But I don't know, and it might be a conspiracy - I am often naive :-)

The only organization I really trust is EFF (though recently Cory Doctorow has been spewing some radical political views on boingboing). I used to trust the ACLU as well. But I have some trust for ICANN and the root DNS operators.
I use Canva a ton for simple graphic designs. It's great that you can access it wherever there's a browser, use it for (mostly) free, and it's extremely user-friendly. Great product, good to see them doing well!
Haskell is a direct descendent of ISWIM via David Turner's SASL. Landin, however, lost interest in software in the 70s. There's a lot of biographical info, including videos of him reminiscing, to be found online.
I'd like to advise some caution regarding what OP said about age. The older you are, the more difficult it may be to have your base assumptions challenged.

On hallucinogens, things you assume to be true about yourself, your identity, or life in general may suddenly be called into question, which could be more difficult the longer you've spent building upon those assumptions.
Yes, I gave the memo a chance.

But you're right, though, now that I'm reflecting, my portrayal of him was too harsh. After all, the man did get fired for writing a letter. THAT is ridiculous and I hope he wins the suit just for that.

The whole thing is embarrassing, though. I mean, what was he complaining about? He worked at Google, which is like, the top of the heap for programming jobs. I didn't understand why he was upset over the company's efforts to include women more. Did he not understand why that would be seen as sexist?

The more I think about it, the more I realize the answer to that question might be no. Maybe Damore didn't realize that presenting his ideas in the form of a memo passed around the office would be insulting to some people. Maybe it was honestly the only way he knew how to initiate a discussion about it. And in that case, I do think he was mistreated and it's a shame he didn't have another way to voice his concerns.

I guess it's a lesson, but what to learn from it, I don't know.
A while back I wrote a calendaring application where I encountered a similar problem and came up with a similar solution. If someone scheduled an all day meeting that ended at 12 midnight, the calendar would show it as a two-day meeting. The meeting started at 12AM on January 8th and ended at midnight of the same day... but since January 8th ends at 11:59PM and January 9th begins one minute later, the invite would roll over and be displayed as ending the next day. I'm not actually a real programmer (I just pretend to be one when someone wants to pay me) so this took way longer to figure out than it really should have.

I tried various things like if a meeting says 12AM, subtract one day, but then I'd encounter edge cases like meetings that start at 12AM now showing the previous day, or meetings that are scheduled from 12AM on the 8th to 12AM on the 8th (basically zero-minute durations) showing the wrong day or a bunch more things you don't think of until you try to develop applications for end users you might never talk to.

Eventually I set it to make any meeting that ended at 12AM just subtract one minute from the overall duration so it would end at 11:59PM instead. It didn't as much solve the problem as it did just avoid it, but at least people stopped complaining.
Do you have proof they cashed them?

If so, talk to a lawyer.
What you’re describing is not only the opposite of sound science and more likely to fool you than improve your life, but also a potentially hazardous money-grab. It is incredibly important not to fool yourself, to roughly paraphrase Feynman.
Apparently this is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, which means it is (probably) purchased using ETH.
A caring parent still interacts with their kid. I'm sure there were plenty of women years ago who would have a stack of magazines or books to read while breastfeeding.

I see friends with kids now and they are so interactive with them. They color with them, play games with them, and are totally drawn by all the simple little things their kids do. Parents also use their phones to make an insane amount of kids photos/videos .. which is what we did in the 90s, but it was just one parent who was obsessed with that overpriced camcorder. Now everyone can do it.

I call BS on this. Even if mother's aren't looking at their kids while breastfeeding, it doesn't mean they are not totally taken in by their children in their lives. You're going to have bad mothers of course that watch TV all day and don't do anything or even worse mothers who smoke crack all day and yell at their kids, but I think good parents, at least the ones I've seen around me, are still pretty selfless in giving tremendous amounts of time and attention to their children.

Sometimes that even means looking through apps recommendations and finding the best educational apps and tools for them. It's not different than any other era. The medium has just changed.
Agreed. The whole point of owning a token is the idea that some person will eventually demand it because they require it for something they want. Either some transaction in the token ecosystem, a dividend, or _something_. I find it really hard to believe most of these tokens will have long-term demand.
I agree actually. You have to really want to change enough go through all the pain and suffering and to persist indefinitely. I have a lot of difficulty with hunger, to the point I couldn't fight it on will alone and would find myself compulsively eating and unable to stop myself. Rather than kill myself out of frustration over slowly undoing all that I had suffered for I kept trying different things until something worked, and that something was ephedrine.
I'd rather value Canva 1B than many more Snapchat--which does nothing useful (to cite 1 of them).

It is definitely not a replacement, but people often use Photoshop for touching up photos and create small banners and stuff like that, which Canva does wonderfully and helps you out with templates.
It seems like the scam went like this: make ICO, invest all the money in ETH. If ETH spikes by the time you are required to perform, you refund with the now appreciated ETH at $ prices and call it good. Otherwise you go ahead with your shitty coin and just deal with investors being mad that they didn't become billionaires.

Edit: so if that is indeed the scam then essentially the claim of wanting the returns on ETH is saying that the mark deserves them because the gains were ill gotten via transferring the risk to the mark.
My experience so far on Google Cloud has been just as bad. I want a simple app that ingests DMARC reports.

- Google Cloud Functions can't ingest e-mail. Also, JS lockin if you care about which platforms are supported.

- Google App Engine can only ingest e-mail in the Standard environment. OK, fine. But the standard environment regularly takes almost a full minute to load and boot my app, after which the request is killed for taking too long. Additionally, the sample code (!) for opening new Stackdriver contexts breaks with a totally inscrutable error message.

You can say "well, maybe your app sucks", but it's been running on AWS (SES + Lambda) for months and every aspect about it has been painless.

Not necessarily. Companies still need to charge you for a service, so instead of buying something directly you buy tokens from them and then use them.

That has been in use by companies for quite some time, just that the tokens were primarily used to actually work with the companies service, rather than trade them as an independent entity.
Except that you are with Proof of Stake.
I don't agree, if it gets to the point where multiple currencies are exchangeable independently (Swap protocol for example) then I can see a use for different variations that have different properties, you may choose one that offers the highest security model and most stable price for savings and another that allows for fast transactions with a reduced security model.

It's all gone a bit crazy recently and it's hard to see through the noise, but I do believe that something will come of this technology!
Will second the #2 recommendation above - I have a fair amount of sidewalk in front of my house and the front of my office that I bought the snow pushers for. They're fast and move a lot of snow with minimal heavy breathing. 4 years and zero heart attacks. =)
I have a mac pro (trash can) and two MBPs (one 13" with retina display). I exclusively run linux distros on all of them and it works great. Just have a $10 linux compatible usb wifi dongle on hand for setup - once you're running you can install the appropriate nonfree broadcom wifi driver.
That's how we got suburban sprawl, tens of thousands of people killed per year by cars, social isolation, and massive carbon footprints.
I read that part and saw how they stated it and then totally dismissed it. "This time is different" and lets keep going on with our talking points with studies that we spin/abuse and other things which aren't backed up at all.
I'm not sure "violate" is the right word, given Landin's objectives.

If the where-clause offends you, use a let-clause instead?
If I invest X money at Y 'valuation', but I get more than just stock such as liquidation preferences, then the stock alone it's not actually worth X money. Or if you prefer my stock + what else I get is worth X money, but the other shareholders lost something of value.

Thus the company is not actually worth Y valuation and pretending otherwise ignores the terms of the deal.

EX: If the company is nominally worth 1 billion at the time of investment, and later sold for 900 million the last investor may actually have profited via money that early investors never received.
> No question that mentality exists, I'll argue that it's a very small minority of eg millionaires in any society that hold such a view.

I'd say it's the majority of millionaires that I've met (all successful small business owners).

They all worked very hard for their wealth and built it over a lifetime, as you said, but every single one of them relished screwing over others and being better than others. They worked like they did for their egos, and not much else. And all of them are virulently committed to making sure they stay on top, even if the top is sinking.
I've had two doctors suggest taking over 2000mg a day like it was nothing. One of them was a fellow hiker on the Appalachian Trail and suggested it as a daily regimen for regular joint pain (common for long-distance hikers). The other suggested it for aiding recovery from mild frostnip. (In both cases, I ended up only taking it for a few days.)

Unless you have stomach problems—NSAIDs are linked to ulcers—high doses of ibuprofen have not been thought of as terribly risky.
This is what I'm wondering. Does Skim (the example used) actually store the annotations inside of the original document in a standard fashion or is it stored in some kind of additional file or as a standard xattr. If the latter is the case, then the OP needs to check to see if High Sierra is using APFS or HFS because High Sierra should have automatically converted the filesystem to APFS which has xattr support natively while Sierra, by default, would still have used HFS+ which stores xattrs in the B*-tree and not in the standard metadata for the file. Since iCloud would only sync over filesystem supported metadata, the xattrs would be dropped by Sierra.

This is like complaining that a file created in Windows 95 called FileWithAReallyLongName.doc would be truncated when saved in MS-DOS as FILEWI~1.DOC.
This is really the deal breaker. If they had a fair distribution function then I'd be ok adopting it. This is really one of the virtues of Bitcoin. Everybody had their chance - even after significant media attention - to help participate and bring about the change.

> handing out free money

What does this mean exactly? Government has funded universities for generations, and tuition was lower when there was more funding. At least one study I saw found that funding cuts were the main cause of tuition increase.

This argument is used to try to defund every welfare program, but I have yet to see any economic evidence that it's true. Is there any?

> they might spend loads of money on sports just because there would be money left over if they didn't, etc.

They might, but anything is possible. Is there any evidence of it or is this pure speculation?

Sports, for example, is generally seen as excellent marketing for the university, increasing alumni engagement, awareness (TV networks pay the university to put the school's name on national TV for hours, rather than vice-versa for 30 seconds), and donations and applications follow.

They should return the currency you used to invest with, though, right? I mean, if I invest 100 US dollar in something, I expect 100 US dollars back if it is returned. You can't say "Well, when you invested, $100 was worth 100 euro, but now you can buy 100 euro for only $10, so here is $10. Look, you can still buy the same amount of euros, so the value is the same!"

That's just a cop-out. If you change the question from 11 AM to 11:01 AM it's still just as valid, and there's no need to argue about the ambiguity. Is there anybody who would seriously argue that 12:00 AM plus one minute should be 12:01 PM? That way lies madness.
Ah man. I'm in Canada too and I wanted to incorporate for the sole reason of getting a Apple Developer account as a company instead of having my name. This would make my "startup" seem more legit.

I'll just get a regular developer membership instead.
