Not me, I develop on desktops 99% of the time.

Laptops have horrible postural positions unless you use desktop monitors at which point why not just use an actual desktop which will annihilate the laptop on performance anyway.

My laptop gets switched on maybe once a month.
I have one of those too, and I switched to Fastmail, which is much better. At the $4/mo I pay for it, it's a much better value than the free Gmail.

There is a ton of talent and time being wasted on a feature no one really wants. MS, the only big company trying for this feature (and failing hard), can waste all the time they want, but the worlds needs a competitive open, general purpose mobile device and the projects keep dying because they can't figure out a good way to implement a feature no one needs (because there is no good way to implement a feature no one needs).

What Is “Neoliberalism” Anyway?
To be clear, the only time any of this matters is when a huge, unexpected bill arrives. Day to day, you should anticipate any big, legitimate bills and make sure funds are there to settle them (or you scale back usage to avoid getting smacked).

It's when a big bill lands in error or is introduced sneakily that having a separate "cloud only card" can save you. In that case, it's the supplier that's gone nuclear and you're just responding in kind.
The article is kind of all over the place. It's a bit grating to me, because it's a long form piece attempting to grapple with a complex subject, but it's overly sensationalized and doesn't meaningfully differentiate itself from the media representation. Consider that the article insists on using the colloquial, imprecise and emotionally charged term "psychopath" - the clinical diagnosis, antisocial personality disorder, is not mentioned once in the entire article, despite the fact that the author acknowledges the stigma inherent in the disorder. The title itself is clearly sensationalized. Furthermore, it has passages like this one:

Like the guy standing 20 feet away from me in the North Hall of Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center, in Madison, Wisconsin. The tall, lanky teenager has just emerged from his cell. Two staff members cuff his wrists, shackle his feet, and begin to lead him away. Suddenly he swivels to face me and laughs—a menacing laugh that gives me chills. As young men yell expletives, banging on the metal doors of their cells, and others stare silently through their narrow plexiglass windows, I think, This is as close as I get to Lord of the Flies.

That's a laughably sensationalized and stereotypical depiction of someone with antisocial personality disorder, even one given to criminal behavior. On the one hand it's trying to evoke images of children who are wildly remorseless, on the other hand it talks about the "chills" you get from interacting with these people.

It feels like the article decided to play up the angle of, "What if your child was a psychopath?" instead of realistically tackling the subject in a new way. It's just perpetuating the stigma that already exists - "psychopaths" are either remorseless killers with an insatiable thirst for violence, or they're hyper-efficient captains of their fields. I honestly expect much more nuance and integrity in a long form piece approaching this subject.

There is a lot of good advice in this thread, but there's a so far unmentioned aspect you need to be aware of: Taxes.

If you have any agreement (already, or a new one), if there's an agreed change in your vesting schedule, if you just give up your shares - you might have tax consequences, such as gift tax, other income, losses, etc - all depending on circumstances. Make sure you have a good tax person to consult with before signing anything.
Then people are always acting according their perceived self interest - just some of them are more interested in perceived moral values than others.

If you were to be released on the 17th, would you rather go at 3 am or 10 pm?

Well right now the average age of virginity loss is ~17 now compared to ~21 in 1950[0]. it is not particularly uncommon for middle schoolers to be having sex these days. There's also a lot more readily available sexual content for all ages now than in 1950. (yes correlation not causation, but there's clearly some connection here)

there are plenty of full grown adults who are irresponsible with sexual activity (spreading stds, unwanted pregnancies) so can we just agree that MAYBE middle schoolers shouldnt be exposed to so much sexuality? that maybe a 14 year old has no chance of grasping the consequences and responsibility of sex?

I agree that absurdities like this have their roots in the public's demand for backward things, but this is made easy by the consolidation of power at the Federal level for things like this.

Imagine a world in which a concerned citizen contacted local or state level authorities with this sort of complaint -- it would not have the same sting of morality policing, in my opinion.
I could see this being useful for individual or small businesses that don't have a tech savvy or IT staff. The business pays a web designer to set up the site. The content can then get updated over time. WordPress sometimes is overkill and something simpler is definitely a plus.
I have dealt quite a bit with these companies. They have great presentations about all the cool stuff they did for other companies and competencies they have. But when they get hired these competencies rarely materialize and you pretty much have a bunch of young engineers who don't know much. The senior architects who did the selling quickly disappear. I have never seen any of the advanced systems, processes and frameworks they are supposed to have actually being used at the customer site.

>Now, I don't know the details of the contract, but generally, the value this is about is not $15. The value is the damage caused by them failing to fulfill their contracts, which would be the discounted value of the market price of all future payments needed to replace their failure to perform.

Imagine the toll on a parent if the child remains undiagnosed and untreated. Imagine constantly viewing yourself as a failure for 18+ years because you are unable to control your child's behavior - as they go from hurting pets for fun to hurting siblings and school peers...

The brain is so complicated that circa 2017 A neurologist, let alone a psychiatrist, can't explain why we can look at a cup of coffee, know that it is hot, know how to to pick it up and balance the cup to your lips and swallow the hot fluid without burning yourself while reading a suspenseful book all at the same time.

If science can't fully explain how and why that process can happen, how can psychiatry or psychology be so confident that they can determine how to cure or treat psychopathy at 3-or-4 years old?.

Even take it further, there is no process, procedure, or prescription you can write or execute to immediately mend a broken heart other than time and personal consideration.

> A lifetime service contract isn't an investment vehicle with variable valuation over time. It is a service contract.

Well, then you are wrong, both legally and economically?

An "investment vehicle" doesn't really exist, in that sense. What exists is a contract of sorts where you agree on the terms of payment and other benefits (such as control over a company), and that both/all sides have to honor ... and a contract is a contract is a contract. Whether you happen to hold what amounts to a bond, specifically a perpetuity, that happens to pay its interest in the form of email service is kindof legally completely irrelevant to the question of whether the other party has to honor a contract.

Also, it's economical nonsense, as there obviously is a market rate for the kind of email services that fastmail provides, and that's obviously the valuation of that contract to the customer, and that valuation obviously varies over time with the market price for email service. Just because it's an illiquid asset (you can't easily sell the contract to a third party) doesn't make it not have a variable valuation.

So, I've been through very similar, fairly recently.

I exited my business of ten years due to a combination of slow death by stress, strategic disagreement, and brexit.

At the time of my departure, I owned 30% of the business - 30% was held by my cofounder, 40% by an investor.

Long story short I sold 20%, with the company buying back the equity using cash reserves at what we collectively agreed was a fair market value, and I still hold 10% of the business in class B stock with equal voting and dilution rights to class A.

How you play this is critical, and I followed a few ground rules to get myself the best possible deal.

1) be amiable. Parting on good terms inevitably works out better.

2) determine your own terms and state them clearly and concisely.

3) make those terms realistic. Don't shoot for the moon, put yourself in the shoes of the guys who are remaining and think about what you would accept on their side of the table.

4) don't be shy. If what you've determined is genuinely fair, stick to your guns.

5) if you haven't, sit down with the other stakeholders and be frank.

6) consider your tax implications. In the U.K., it's critical to retain voting rights if you want entrepreneurs relief and still have a stake in the company. Ymmv.

7) avoid lawyers. They (particularly with a fairly small transaction) will gobble up an awful lot. The company should pay your minimal legal fees and transfer duty.

8) be prepared to walk away with nothing, or to leave things in a deadlock. They'll have to make a move as a major absentee voting shareholder is what we call an embuggerance.

Of course, all of this depends on the particulars of your contract and articles. I ensured, when the investor came on board 6 years in, that I held some power cards (tag/drag/pre-empt/tribunal/arbitration) which discouraged untoward behaviour on the other principals' parts.

That all said, consider your position - you want to leave as you've lost faith but you want to retain equity - you'll need a justification as to why you want to retain that. In my case I downplayed my disagreement over strategy and emphasised my personal needs, hence they agreed to me retaining some stock.

Good luck.

Because people who would be targets of political murders don't die at a statistically unusual rate. Unless you think they are also being secretly replaced with more pliant clones/cyborgs or we are all just copied over to a less unruly simulation. Then it would be harder to know.

Our view is that the main reason Parse and Firebase didn't manage to gain mainstream adoption is that they were too limited. At the time, limitations imposed by available infrastructure forced them to to adopt a nosql model that made it very hard to implement advanced business logic. We have come a long way since then, but unfortunately Firebase is still stuck with the same fundamental data structure.

In general, you shouldn't use services which you don't understand completely, can debug, and have source code for if there're other options. I think that's why open source took over the world. It might seem to be more expensive, but in the end, it's a better option. Even if the service you use have a great support and fixes bugs instantaneously, it's better to have more control.
I agree entirely. It's really weird to pinpoint this as some complex logistical problem. Apple creates intentional supply chains that are large enough to impact international economies — as a 'problem' this is like a fart in the wind.

Of course it's completely up to a company to do this. my point, and likely OP's point is that it seems like a glaring omission from an otherwise feature-rich campus.

> Indeed, certain psychopathic traits have survived because they’re useful in small doses: the cool dispassion of a surgeon, the tunnel vision of an Olympic athlete, the ambitious narcissism of many a politician. But when these attributes exist in the wrong combination or in extreme forms, they can produce a dangerously antisocial individual, or even a cold-blooded killer.

Certain politicians are responsible for far more suffering than cold-blooded killers... funny what we value.

But fuel stations have vary narrow profit margins. If you spend 40$ filling up they are often taking less than 1$ in operating costs. Gas stations are really cheap to operate it's the actual gas and CC processing fees that are expensive.
TL;DR Holding people to different standards is not hypocritical and their context, position and intent is typically the basis of this discrimination

i was using a well known quote from an arena outside production music. I am pro free speech-- vehemently and with very little exception.

That said; words are important and so is context and intent. Of course I hold the leader of America to a different standard; as I do many others to varying degrees.

I don't think it's hypocritical to be in favor of free speech; nor to hold people accountable for that speech (Westboro baptist church, KKK) or to expect a different "moral standard" from different people (a CEO representing a company; politician representing a constituency). I think "parental advisory" is more silly than problematic. 1) this stuff exists everywhere. 2) probably cost a lot to enact. 3) morals fluctuate, some things are arbitrary. There was a time "pregnant" was a dirty word. 3 "fucks" and 1 "shit" is maybe ok but add another "bitch" and you are over the limit? I just think it's stupid
What? Are you for real? This a very clueless and entitled thing to say. I'll just leave this here: the world median income is less than $3k. Maybe reflect on this for a moment.

Could be. There is nothing sacrosanct about Indian workers. (Or any others for that matter) The reason I was advocating that folks with experience and talent seek out product companies, is that as a group, they are less sensitive to worker wages. A talented programmer, product manager, marketing executive or ops person will have at least an order of magnitude greater impact on the company's bottom (or top line) than they would in say a pure body shopping IT outsourcing company. So as an entrepreneur, for the right candidate, I have no problem paying 2x the market rate. A good employee will more than make up for the extra cost. In the outsourcing business though, the business model is very sensitive to labor costs. Not so with product firms.
This NYT article from 2012 addresses this point: "Can You Call a 9-Year-Old a Psychopath?", http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/13/magazine/can-you-call-a-9-...

The article's answer is basically yes, but it is not easy. Yes, many of the typical criteria used to diagnose psychopathy are normal traits in children at certain ages. But one of the counterpoints is that what are the chances that people suddenly become psychopaths in adulthood? It's likely they exhibit some diagnosable traits in childhood.
First off, this isn't meant to generalize to the broader population of conservatives and liberals, and the statistically insignificant sample size is the number one reason why this anecdote would be unfair for such a purpose. That said, if my conservative acquaintances are more tolerant of a "left-of-center" arrangement than my liberal acquaintances, why would it be more fair to push the comparison further left?

Conservatives are supposed to be the ones that pressure people into gender roles, and liberals are supposed to be tolerant of all lifestyles. What point would be made if liberals were tolerant of a very, very non-traditional relationship, and our conservative friends were uncomfortable? That both groups have gender roles which they use social pressure to enforce? That the left isn't actually more tolerant than the right? That liberals have enjoyed an undeserved positive stereotype?

> killing ... political opponents

Uh, what are terrorists if not political opponents?

Killing people who are deemed to hold certain beliefs without any judicial process linking them to specific criminal activity is simply killing political opponents.

This follows from the adage that war is politics with guns.

I also do not draw a major distinction between attempting to prosecute American journalists under the espionage act and simply having them killed. Arguably prosecuting them creates at least the same kind of chilling effect on journalism as a whole as murdering them does, and both leaders have the same goal of quelling dissent and intimidating reporters.
That article absolutely does not substantiate this claim.
