Not clear who actually owns the equity outright. If its the OP, based on what's written and nothing more it sounds like a racket the non-technical founders are running. I personally would identify the laziest path for you to exercise

It's hard to tell from the article where to draw the line between the Raytheons of the world and NSO Group. Is business only allowed to sell dumb weapons to government? Looks like international trade in zero-days already is treated

To me a defining characteristic of 1930s Nazism was a perceived mortal struggle against Communists that excused or justified egregiously unethical and immoral means. In the modern U.S. that has some similarity to the highly polarized debate

Actually, there's no reasonable pathway for crystal healing to help here. On the other hand, it's entirely plausible and there's real-world experience to support (1) masks filtering harmful particles and (2) hydroxychloroqui

The mystery head trauma suffered by U.S. diplomats comes to mind when discussing active-scanning satellite technology. The commerical product seems not so above-board based on the use cases discussed.

> “And when it comes out,” one Colombo man active in the first film’s production admitted, “it’ll cost me three bucks and an hour on line to see.” So funny to see a pre-Netflix reference to time "on line" watching a movie.

Accuweather will give you a 3 month forecast! I had to blink a few times to make sure I got that right. Their existing long term forecast goes to March 10, 2021. https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/boston/02

He showed up at the hospital 'uninsured' in an emergency and the 'nonprofit' doctors marked up their fees 110%. Let's call this what it is. It's a racket and unethical.

Linux support for HP requires some HP daemon running at all times and in my experience fails in edge cases where a standard Linux integration would not. I also don't like their logo on my Linux task bar, no one else requires that to m

You can integrate with Thunderbird for local backup, and anyway Fastmail customer service is capable and responsive. The critique on the earlier post is a little like saying it's still a problem that you need to trust your local superm

Would a grape eater be in breach if a grape seed sprouted from his or her poo a few days after enjoying said grape? Are sanitation departments at risk of contributory infringement depending how they process and dispose of sewage containing

What's funny is the original Vice article was very condemnatory of Amazon and AWS data and business practices. And then Amazon in response metaphorically requested ... wait for it ... that the author move a comma. So, the rest of the a

I bought a WD SSD recently and when I plugged it in, the firmware reported that is was actually a SanDisk, which is I guess a lower-end WD brand at this point. I saw an Internet discussion of other people having this problem with a July 20
