ASRS (https://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/) is how both private and commercial (including ATP) pilots can anonymously and non-punitively share safety or otherwise concerning events.
The goal is data collection to assess and prevent incidents. NASA's intake on the reports are not anonymous, but their public reports are. NASA functions as the filter between pilots and the FAA/NTSB.
This happened to a company I co-founded. My common stock was bought at about 1/3 of the lowest price given to early employees for options. (I had RSUs, not options).
I got $130k, and their options were worthless.
Luckily the acquirer offered retention bonuses that helped dull the pain, but of course those are taxed at regular income and not long term capital gains.
Oh, and like a previous comment mentioned: the VCs have preferred stock so they get their investment back 100% before any common stock sees a penny. If employees had the same stock as VCs, I estimate I would have walked away with about $400k.
Well that's strange. The company was founded in 1976, so it was certainly plausible that they would be an early domain registration, but 1996 wouldn't qualify as that!
Why aren’t most CEO founders replaced then? It seems more often then not, they remain with the org well past 100s of employees, regardless of experience or skill set.
OTS is really just a collection of pretty common-sense guidelines like don't have more than a certain percentage of inventory in backstock, don't have backstock of stuff that doesn't sell well, keep your backstock organized, etc.
There are a few details about it that can be irritating, but the comments from employees in the article are extremely misleading. If they're having a hard time passing their inspections it's because they're doing something very wrong - no one is failing an inspection for having 1 box facing the wrong way like it says in the article.
> Usually when I see (or say) something like that it's an exaggeration with a significant amount of truth behind it.
So by your logic, any accusation has the cachet of a significant amount of truth behind it?
The press needs clicks. Their needs (more click and revenue) is diametrically opposed to our needs (a somewhat unbiased view of reality).
Just by saying "<outlandish accusation> has to be backed by something" is ridiculous. It can be backed by nothing. As long as you click through, they get what they want.
No, my point was merely that dismissing that accusation because it’s ridiculous doesn’t mean you can assume there is no merit to the point at all. I have no idea whether the system is as employee-hostile as the sources indicate.
This reminds me of a SaaS product roll outs where customers are complaining, revenue is falling, sales people are complaining but the bosses point out at the great new metric they found which says "Everything is great as long as the day name ends with a 'Y'"
I don't know if any Fastmail employees read over this, but thanks for finally adding TOTP to the list of 2FA methods! I had been (uneasily) using SMS and wishing you guys would up your game, and I'm glad to see that you did.
That's twice in the same minute that you've replied "That's not what SI means" (to two different definitions, so you have to be right at least once). But it would be more useful if you would supply what you think the correct definition is, rather than making us guess (or making us grovel before your superior knowledge, which is not really the point of HN).
- unikernel go
- making better parallel abstractions over network streams without having to deal with the mess of a kernel interface
- as a platform to implement more integrated network policy (like congestion control, or state management for ddos protection)
- ultimately might be really helpful for portability by requiring only a raw packet interface from the host OS
- much easier environment for tying in w/ SDN and QOS (which google seems to be pretty gung ho on)
there are probably a lot more. I looked a little at the repo, and they went for the most readable version that leans very heavily on the rich go runtime...which I think is a great call if you want to play around. messing with the linux network stack is a bit fussy and painful, there is a lot of .. stuff.. in there
