I don't think one month of work should be worth 50% of the company, but it looks like he did actually do work. And he never got compensated for it.

It sounds like Jeremy wasn't at the company long enough to get that sorted out. I am curious why he left so soon though.

by chris11 11y ago
Yeah, but if that is true the agreement should be in writing. So I think Kyle should be able to easily prove Jeremy wrong if they did have a vesting schedule. Edit: according to Sam Altman's blog post they never got around to signing e

No, I mean I think maybe GM's legal team should have figured out about this situation before the merger was publicly announcement. Sure, maybe no-one at Cruise would have thought to bring it up, but I'd expect that the due diligen

Is there evidence that the feeling of being aware is because you are more aware, or just because you are high? I've heard people say that they have had incredibly meaningful experiences while on psychedelics, but I've also heard s

Shouldn't this have also come up in the preliminary research before this deal became public? I personally remember getting asked to sign some legal documents after I had been working full time. I had originally started out as a contrac

I was kind of hoping to see python used in the functional programming section. I was playing around with a small project in python and decided I wanted to re-implement a really simple context free grammar I had done in a functional programm

I had one surprising answer to a question I asked. We were at the end of the interview and I asked the interviewer what he liked about the job. He responded that he really liked the amount of money he got paid. The company was known for mak

Sleeping next to the phone to take customer support calls sounds really tough. I don't think I could do that for long.

Netflix just hiked their prices up 60%. That's definitely high. But Nest bricked hardware that customers have already paid for. I have less sympathy for Nest here.

Yeah, I agree. As a man I see great maternal leave policies as something I want for myself, not as sexism.

Still don't see how this has to do with gender. The FMLA guarantees at least 12 weeks of unpaid paternity leave. Sure it is unpaid, but some companies offer paid leave. Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Netflix are all examples of

What does this have to do with gender? Would this have anything to do with the pay of iphone app developers if the announcement was made at WWDC?

I've taken a few GIS classes, and there are some cool things you can do with satellite imagery. You can use remote sensing to check up on crop health and growth. I did a small school project why I estimated the percentage of trees kill

I think there is huge difference between saying someone is personally responsible for their future and saying the only thing preventing the lower class from doing well is laziness. A minimum wage would definitely not be close to a living wa

But Cameron directly benefited from his father's tax avoidance. He received several hundred thousand pounds as an inheritance from his father's estate. I'm sure he would have received less if his father had not saved money by

True, I really do like the rewards. But I really think Bing would get rid of them if it would was a good financial decision. And I think it would be a decent decision if Bing was doing better.

Ah, I misread that as "arbitration clause".

by chris11 11y ago
It's legal. The thing is by signing the agreement you are waiving a lot of your rights to sue and replacing them with binding arbitration. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2007/11/suckers-wanted-h...

How do they get away with it? I've seen credit card agreements where the company reserves the right to close the account and remove accumulated rewards. I'd think it be really easy to flag those accounts and have the customers ban

by chris11 11y ago
I don't have any personal experience with MBNA, but I assume it means the agreement you sign forces you to use binding arbitration in place of suing MBNA. And being always right just means that basically MBNA will always in in arbitrat

Does this scale well? I don't think group chat would work well for larger chats. I personally ignore a lot of email that I isn't personally relevant. And one-on-one conversations are usually more personally relevant than group con

I don't think a ton of high school counselors push their poorer students to apply to highly selective schools. I think the kids with wealthier parents usually end up better supported.

I'd say that is believable. There is a strong correlation between parental income and a child's SAT score. So you could probably get a rough estimate of a public high school's average SAT scores by looking at the average inco

Thanks, I'll check it out. My proof-writing is definitely shaky. I can clearly see the relationship between programming on writing proofs, but I can't get immediate feedback on the validity of my mathematical proofs like I can wit
