We are now turning HN into a support forum?

I think you may be right but also may be wrong. If that was indeed the case, they wouldn't have to respond to him for a whole year. nVidia knew they screwed up back in 1996, but was 100% uncertain like you are. There is 5-10% chance that a judge would accept this on the basis that this was grossly incompetently misrepresented in 1996 and OP actually has some ground for suing. There is serious financial loss here. If I received 1000 shares from Meta for my work during my full time employee and then keep thinking I had 1000 shares invested for 30 years, but turns out no I do not, that's a big loss!


It’s the other way round. For 30 years he has happily believed that he received 16k shares. Now he learns that he was owed another 7k at the time but neither party in the transaction noticed and he wants them to pay the difference now.


Presumably he kept those 16k shares and is sitting on $2b, so why bother with the hassle. Normal people don’t care about the second billion.

Or he sold them years ago for far less than they are worth now, in which case he could have a claim for the original shares which were worth a few k after interest.


It’s not even shares though, which he would have a much stronger case with. It’s options, which inevitably have an expiry date.


Nvidia's share price at the IPO was $12 and his strike price was $0.05. He's owed the monetary value of those options, basically ($12-$0.05) times number of options and that should be around $100k+. He was never owed shares.


OpenClaw has always been a scammy open source project to me. I don't get the hype and I think people need to stop using it.


I never have problems with butterfly keyboard. It felt good. Not sure why you guys have such big hate against it.


16GB is going to leap you into the air category. They intentionally make this an entry premium laptop. The retina itself and MacOSX’s mandate of font conformity make this premium over other budget laptop in that price range.


Good luck, projects like these either end up getting sued or going to acquisition. Open source != morally on the end result


The moment you read “crypto mining in the browser while you browse” should be an immediate red flag that you should run away. Absolutely no need to respect him even when he was the creator of JS. So what.


“but it’s opt in, bro, you dont have to use it” — every Brave stan


We never, as in not ever, offered crypto mining in the browser.


In fact, Brave was the first browser to block nasty crypto-jacking/mining scripts (e.g., CoinHive) when they began to appear on the scene, nearly a decade ago.


You need to read again. Parent is asking opt-in, not opt-out. Firefox should have been doing opt-in


Then he will spin off and then remerge again. He has several more small companies before he plays that game. Maybe next quarter!


You actually believe he makes razor thin profit? And you believes he reinvests everything? Sorry but none of us have verified his company’s books. Just saying
