You can occasionally find it at smaller companies. I worked at a company that had a 4-year vesting schedule. You got 25% after 12 months, monthly vesting afterwards, accelerated vesting if you were laid off in the first year. So if you were laid off after 6 months (which happened to some people after Covid hit) you got 12.5% of your options vested immediately. If within the first year you left voluntarily or were terminated for cause like for example for bringing hookers into the office after hours I'm looking at you Jerry then you got nothing.

It's a pretty reliable bullshit indicator. If someone fails to provide relevant information that should be readily available, the story is probably crap.

This seems like a frivolous lawsuit by a disgruntled employee timed to take advantage of the recent panic over contaminated vape cartridges. Claiming contamination without specifying the contaminant disqualifies this as news.

You don't stay in business by letting people rip you off.

I've lived in San Francisco since 1999. Between Section 8 subsidies, long-term rent control beneficiaries, and a few really shitty neighborhoods, there are plenty of low-income people.

She has already admitted to multiple felonies related to mishandling classified information. Nothing happened. It is hard to imagine anything that Wikileaks could dump that would harm her at this point. There will be no criminal charges so long as Obama holds the Presidency and obviously none should Hillary win, and should she lose Trump won't waste the political capital to bring her to justice either.

Her voters already know she is a criminal, they are not voting for her in spite of the knowledge, but because of it. It demonstrates she possesses the Will to Power they consider a requirement in a leader.

AltaVista was thee search engine in it's time. Around the time Google come out, the search results on AltaVista become heavily dominated with paid sites. You use to be able to find what you wanted within the first few hits on Altavista. Then, it started taking 2 to 3 pages of search results to find what you were looking for. Often, those 2 to 3 pages included repeated links to the same paid sites.

Google brought back the magic of being able to find what you wanted. Not pages and pages of paid links.

There is more to see in the panoramic photo of NYC.

... the criminals are not aware of what is being done. Good job NYT for letting the cat out of the bag.

I use Slackware, you insensitive clod.

In other news, Silk Road 2.0 is being run by the FBI...

And if you're not comfortable with physical confrontation, just change your SSID to his address. He'll probably get the hint and back off.

> retired it due to not having any PS2 machines any more.

That isn't a reason to part with a Model M. Get a USB converter (you may have to try a couple) and keep on trucking. I have an original Logitech three button mouse on the same adapter with my Model M. I use the middle click a heck of a lot more than the wheel so prefer an actual button that won't end up sending scroll up/down every time I middle click on a link to throw it into a tab for later reading. Have to clean the mouse out every month or so but other than it is still good to go.

Can I get an AMEN!

I have a pair of em. Thinkpads also tend to have darned good keyboards even after the Lenovo takeover.

If ya spring for the good stuff it lasts. And face it, keyboards aren't something that you need to change out every year or two when you buy a faster machine. Keyboards endure. Old keyboards even have a full size spacebar instead of those almost useless Microsoft mandated keys.

> Its a good idea to have scientists advising politicians on science.

Agreed. But when debating the policy implications of AGW a climatoligist is useless. What insight can they offer into whether cap and trade is a good idea? They aren't economists. If the conversation turns to carbon sequestration they aren't the person to ask whether that is feasable. If we want to talk alternative energy they can't provide any insight on that either. You need different scientists and experts to answer those questions. Climatology is a pretty narrow specialty.
