I started to read your blog since the time you encountered a disastrous event with tinypilot hardware (something like a floor or fire). I really appreciate your recording and sharing of your experience and growth. Good luck to your book and look forward to your news.

Imagine back in the days when calculators were just invented. An 8 year old kid might have the similar complain: “my classmate finished a 4 digits number multiplication problem in 5 seconds which generally took 1mins.” People might say, in the long term, the kid who cheated would be less proficient in arithmetic, which turned out to be true. But when you think about it, it seems not the end of the world when most high schooler in US cannot do complicated arithmetic quickly and accurately without a calculator.

cha-config(5) or about:chawan. The former also has an online version:
https://chawan.net/doc/cha/config.html#pager-actions
For navigation in particular you'd use capital D to discard the current buffer and return to the previous page. There's also , (comma, back) and . (period, forward), which non-destructively cycle through the stack.
(Well, it's really a tree, but the UI mostly treats it as a stack.)
Thank you so much!

Finally a good tool to view HN in terminal. Thank you! Where can I find the keyboard shortcuts? I can move with vim key binding, but can go back.

I don't buy the argument because the world around us is build for human, we'd better build humanoid robots. Robots with belted wheels or 4 legs can handle stairs, ramps, uneven terrains well, easily and fast. Installing a couple of robot arms on it, you have much more robust robots. Spending so much effort just to solve the moving and balancing is a waste of money and talent.

I am fairly confident that you have strong legal protections against forfeiture of your RSUs under these circumstances, especially if you worked in California. Unless there is an explicit clause in your employment contract where you agree to this (fairly unusual) tax prepayment scheme, your RSUs are earned income.
IANAL, but I have been around the startup scene long enough to immediately spot the red flags here. It seems like there is an explicit strategy at play here to discourage former employees from exercising RSUs, and you will likely find a strong legal argument against these terms (i.e. prepayment and forfeiture) unless you explicitly agreed to them. To echo what will probably be stated at least a hundred times on this thread - talk to an attorney.
Thank you!
