But it seems complicated. It certainly doesn't sound like you can write off the short 1-month period in which Guillory worked on it, and it suggests he may have contributed to patentable items or significant architectural designs, which if then used to carry out Cruise's products, would really raise questions if Guillory's degree of ownership (yes, 1-month of architectural designs really are that big of a deal).<p>But it also absolutely does not seem like Kyle is so devoid of technical expertise that he couldn't have advanced the company without critical work from Jeremy.<p>Whatever the outcome, I think it will be contentious and drawn out. | null | 11,501,656 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
11,501,771 | null | comment | danjayh | 1,460,688,826 | Ugh. 'Infinite' vacation policies are starting to infect corporaculture. I work for a megacorp (that I actually rather enjoy working for) that recently went this way, and since my megacorp is a bit of a trend setter, you can expect it to spread. During the explanation meeting, it was made clear that we really aren't supposed to take more vacation than what we used to have, but that we are expected to still actually take about as much vacation as we used to have ... so essentially a no-change there. As far as I can tell, it's mostly about<p>1) Making it so that employees can't take vacation at times that are particularly bad for a project because they're 'entitled' to it. This was already frowned upon (we always did get to use our vacation eventually, so it wasn't so bad), but now it's in writing -- which is good, rules should be written.<p>and, more importantly to the megacorp:
2) Eliminating owed vacation from their books & marginally reducing cost. Now if somebody quits or is canned, they're not owed a payout. I'm guessing the average employee will probably also take a couple of days less than they did under the old system, yielding a further savings. | null | 11,501,366 | null | [

11,501,788 | null | comment | silverpikezero | 1,460,689,167 | I agree in principle that Jeremy does not deserve any proceeds of the sale, because he did not contribute to any of the valuable IP that GM wants to acquire.<p>But there is one serious issue here I don't understand (devil's advocate mode) ....<p>If Kyle and Jeremy actually founded a Delaware C-corp in Sept 2013 (claim #11), then both their names would be on the officer's list. If that charter specifies a 50/50 split of corporate control, then legally Kyle has no ability to simply tell Jeremey that he's "fired" (claim #14). In fact, I don't think it's legal to fire a significant shareholder outright, unless you have an official company meeting and hold a vote. In this case, it's just 2 guys, so theoretically some impromptu meetup counts as a shareholder meeting. Also note here that the courts don't like having shareholder meetings without records, and in such cases leads the courts to treat such activities as non-corporate events (aka unofficial). In any case, it boils down to what ownership was declared when the C-corp was incorporated.<p>If someone controls the majority voting rights (or a collection of voters), then they can vote to remove someone from the shareholder's group. However, as far as I know you cannot simply seize ownership from the person you remove from the shareholder's group. The company must then be valued, and the person being ousted must be compensated for the value of his share. Furthermore, you can't simply revise arbitrarily future ownership. Jeremy's holdings would be appropriately diluted whenever fundraising events occur. Weirdly, Jeremy expected to receive his "50%", which as any person should know would have been diluted by investment rounds. Major investors are always involved during these events, and everyone knows exactly what they are getting. The fact that he thought at the end he would "get his 50%" leads me to believe he never cared about asserting ownership until the final big payday arrived.<p>I think Cruise as a company has a serious problem. If the documentation exists to prove this 50/50 ownership in Sept 2013, there is no way this lawsuit will be smooth sailing. | null | 11,501,685 | null | [

This is now something that every team of founders will have to think harder about now. It will harm founder cohesion which will reduce the success percentage in each batch.<p>On the other hand, this is a positive signal to people who want to exploit a cofounder to get past the YC application process and then push them out of the company. | null | 11,501,470 | null | [

I understand there's a whole spectrum in prevention and mitigation. But "prevents it entirely" is an extreme, just as "formally verified everything" is an extreme.<p>I'm just ticked off by people lately repeating that ASLR is a bandaid, like it's a bad thing. It's a bandaid, but it can still crash-instead-of-own your app/system with 99.XX% probability. Why complain about it being accepted rather than say: "great, we're nowhere near secure, but at least we have something that works most of the time, now we can work on better protection". Safe runtimes can fail too (CVE-2015-3837 / serialization bug).<p>Basically, if anyone reads threads like this and thinks "it's a bandaid, it's not needed / it doesn't protect me", then we're all worse off. | null | 11,501,736 | null | [

11,501,823 | null | story | 6stringmerc | 1,460,689,671 | Problem:
Personal flight progress has been limited, and is a field ripe for further disruption.<p>Solution:
An innovative wing design patent employed to create a personal flight unit.<p>Overview:
The ParaWing is fundamentally a combination between Parasailing and Hang Gliding concepts. What sets the ParaWing apart from normal approaches is that the wing design is based on a researched avenue to increase performance using specific characteristics. The basic idea of having a ‘tow vehicle’ like a pickup truck in which to mount a base is the platform by which testing of the flight unit can be done using progressively more realistic simulations.<p>Having the ParaWing tow-flight concept is a test-bed to prove that the wing design and math will work. What isn’t immediately clear is if the creation will enable adding powered flight. The short-term goal is to reach a prototype for wind-tunnel/real-world testing, and the long-term goal is to get the unit functional in tow-flight and iterate power sources to be able to disconnect and aviate akin to Yves Rossy, aka “Jetman.”<p>At first I’m not exactly sure of the market potential – or liabilities. What I am sure about is that this idea offers a path to a future where personal flight is actually viable. It took a lot of effort and risk to get aviation where it is today, and I want to be on the forefront of what tomorrow might bring.<p>My background in aviation is something I’ve been around my entire life. I’ve studied technological advancements in hardware, software, and materials like composites with relentless passion. Once this idea came to me, I knew it’d be headline material. Now, I want to get selected in this process to bring it into reality. It’s 2016, and we should have jetpacks by now!<p>The following graphic from 2012 gets the spirit on paper as I originally conceived it: <a href="http://imgur.com/TalG2BL" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/TalG2BL</a><p>Thanks for your time reviewing and I look forward to discussing this project! | null | null | null | [

Cruise’s behalf and offered Guillory triple the amount of Vogt’s previous offer, but only if Guillory would agree to sign a formal settlement agreement that same day. Cruise’s attorneys then sent Guillory a lengthy settlement demand and Altman told him he could have only two hours to propose any changes. When Guillory told Altman he would not be able to meet that deadline because he needed to review the proposed terms of the agreement with legal counsel, Altman told Guillory he should fire his lawyer if he had already retained one, and offered to send him a list of lawyers to consult. Guillory could not comply with Cruise’s unreasonable deadline, and as a result, it passed on Friday, April 8, 2016." | null | 11,501,665 | null | [

11,501,844 | null | comment | cramsdale | 1,460,690,062 | Hey Folks,<p>The issue reported here is linked to App Engine and Gmail tightening up their spam filters. The root cause was an increase in organizations sharding out their spam systems to utilize App Engine’s free tier in such a way that is (a) in direct violation of our ToS and (b) making all of our lives suck a bit more (raise your hand if you want spam). It’s unfortunate that while App Engine is trying to provide a free tier that enables developers to easily use our platform, others see it as an opportunity for exploitation. Even more unfortunate is that it has a negative effect on legitimate users. It’s a fine balance that has been highlighted by several users within this thread.<p>Spam filtering is not a perfect science, and we’re constantly tweaking things -- with our customers in mind. This issue should be limited to new applications where the trust signal might be a bit lower. Thus existing apps / customers shouldn’t be experiencing issues (which was also highlighted by a few within this thread). If this isn’t the case email me: [email protected]. For those asking, “hey, why am I being penalized for being a new customer?” See my previous comment about spam filtering not being a perfect science. Then email me.<p>We’re here and we want to help.<p>-- Chris (Lead PM for App Engine) | null | 11,500,981 | null | [
