This makes sense, SF benefited a lot from the social/mobile/on demand boom. Silicon Valley is set to benefit more from the AI/ML hype as this as stronger ties to academia, and also older, more academic type engineers who don&

"If you follow several of the steps I outline in this story (unless you go with Google Voice), you’ll end up with at least three email addresses: your current primary one, one just for your mobile carrier, and one that you use for othe

Yes but what you are describing is essentially unsecured debt. The government is guaranteeing your loans, why do you think student loan rates are so much cheaper than credit cards? The price you pay for that guarantee is that you can't

How the fuck is this obvious. Consensual relationships between two adults if nothing to be ashamed this. Now office relationships are illegal too? This is ridiculous

Most important question. Is this still 1 indexed (Lua was 1 indexed, which means porting code you need to be aware of this)?

K means can also solve for k, but its a more opened ended and difficult problem. This is pretty good approximation

How can he claim they have poor tech & be secretive at the same time? Within SDC circle, Hotz's company so far has shown some pretty poor demos. Really poor. I guess the salesmanship will him raise more $$ but its founded in anythi

In reality was a reference to the difference between why an acquisition price is reported as so high in the press yet appears on the financial statements as much less. This isn't unique to Cruise. Not a slight at this article.

From an accounting standpoint yes, but in reality they paid about $1B. Half was directly for the company, the other half was golden handcuffs. They are choosing to allocate the second to operating expenses and not acquisitions. To the emplo

How is this any different than Gawker using the legal system as a defense strategy? They print whatever they want, and good luck suing them, they'll wear you out in long legal battles with their deep pockets. The only difference this t

I think the biggest thing everyone is glancing over is the wording of the app: "If you have not formed the company yet, describe the planned equity ownership breakdown among the founders, employees and any other proposed stockholders.&

Isn't there a statue of limitations for this? It's been over 2 years and he never lodged a complaint

So if the issue of stock wasn't in writing for a Delaware company, then his 50% claim is not valid as he was never issued stock? I'm sure #2 is a non issue for Cruise

Thats not how these things work. Scenarios: 1. Deal falls through (unlikely) 2a. Deal goes through, and engineers amount are held in a reserve fund for 18 months to 2 years until the lawsuit is settled or the after the above timeframe. This

It was likely not even incorporated, they hadn't done nearly enough work for either to care. Also seems like Jeremy needed a job anyway and bounced. Of course hindsight is 20/20, hence this whole ordeal.

by theoracle101 10y ago
So let me get this straight. Jeremy was "waiting", while Cruise raised seed, Series A then B, and congratulated them assuming that he still had 50% and was happy to see his work grow? He never thought to protest, or sign any docum

The sheer amount of misinformation in this thread is astounding. He wrote no code, literally did not prototype anything, contributed nothing. Self driving cars take 100s of moving pieces and complex algorithms. You can literally just check

I don't know. Sam was at a bunch of our parties/events, and has tweeted about us. My CEO and cofounder are great friends with a lot of the partners. Hopefully you're right, I just don't want to apply without telling them

I'm at a YC startup that's successful. How do you look at early employees of such companies, and how I tactfully apply? There is no way I could without it getting back to my CEO (or so it seems to me)

This was literally blasphemy in the UK, so not sure what you're point is?
