Restoring a PDF file from chrome cache

So I was trying to do my duties as a good civilian by paying taxes of stuff you already own.

In this particular case it meant going to the website and try and generate a PDF document that would allow me to pay for said stuff. After 2 unsuccessful attempts to generate the PDF (got greeted by 500s), I finally got the PDF open on chromium (using the PDF preview) and trying to save, the browser crashed..

I then quickly reboot chromium and tried to generate the PDF again, only to find out that I can't, the website only allows you to generate the document and download once, this is a critical document used as prof and means to pay your taxes. It doesn't really make much sense that you only can download it once, but such is the way of life.

I've been suffering from this bug for quite a while, but it never affected me in this way.

The file wasn't on ~/Downloads, so I've tried browsing chrome://cache and after a while I found the PDF HTTP request, w

Who pays when startup employees keep their equity?

Who pays when startup employees keep their equity?

JD Maturen, 2016/07/05, San Francisco, CA

As has been much discussed, stock options as used today are not a practical or reliable way of compensating employees of fast growing startups. With an often high strike price, a large tax burden on execution due to AMT, and a 90 day execution window after leaving the company many share options are left unexecuted.

There have been a variety of proposed modifications to how equity is distributed to address these issues for individual employees. However, there hasn't been much discussion of how these modifications will change overall ownership dynamics of startups. In this post we'll dive into the situation as it stands today where there is very near 100% equity loss when employees leave companies pre-exit and then we'll look at what would happen if there were instead a 0% loss rate.

What we'll see is that employees gain nearly 3-fold, while both founders and investors – particularly early investors – get dilute

Implementing audio and video autoplay unlocking

Implementing audio and video autoplay unlocking

Due to recent changes in the autoplay policy of Chrome 66 developers of interactive experiences on the web are facing new challenges regarding audio and video autoplay. The new policy has unfortunately broken many of the older experiences that rely on autoplaying audio and video.

So how to move forward?

Previous solutions

Previously developers used to face this issue on iOS mobile devices where the audio context was locked. Most developers fixed this by using the initial touch event of a user to unlock the audio.
