Same answer, speak for yourself and the people you see in your daily life, because this does not match my experience. Where I live, if you find a scarf on the ground, you put it in a clean, well visible spot nearby, so the person who lost it can easily see it if they come by again. I also see people who are going through a heavy door sometimes turn a bit to see if there's someone behind them, lest they get their face smashed by said door.

I won't say that's not selfish though; some people would trade 3 seconds of their time here and there gladly for treating others like they would like to be treated. It's swapping time and/or money for less tangible but very valuable "things".

But incidentally, this whole "selfish" stuff is kind of a red herring anyway; OP was talking about investors being short-sighted and "paranoid", not investors being selfish. You may say that's the same thing, but I'd disagree, I'd say people "keeping their more to receive their less" isn't people being selfish, it's more like getting stuck in a local optimum. Locally, that's great, globally, that's having lost.
Extremely rare and almost exclusive leftists killing people on the right. Like the JFK assassination (JFK was a conservative)
Of course it is legally correct but there are dozens of ways to get out of it. Some examples:

- If you can show that you are making a significant step career-wise (easy)
- If your function is different than when you started and didn't sign a new non-compete (from backend to full-stack)
- If the contract is temporary 6 months or 1 year its not valid
- If you didn't specify a fine, you need to show evidence of damage/loss of that employee leaving to a competitor (impossible?)

So just a few ways to get rid of it. Almost every (employment) attorney in NL will get this non-compete blown away.

My 2 cents: It costs a lot of (negative) time and if someone wants to leave just let them go. If you respect them, they will respect you. If you screwed them over and over they already copied the data the want and will still leave.

Turn the non-compete to a non-client clause (relatiebeding), way softer but ensures that they can't "steal" your clients. Because you are being generous not limiting the person to move to a better position this clause will be way harder to get rid off. Still be reasonable though :)

While not rotting in prison is great - isn't it strange that Manning was pardoned, while there are a lot more pardon deserving persons among the other whistleblowers of the era.

Nothing good or interesting came from those leaks. And they were legitimate threat to US security. And Snowden ones were responsible, curated and only in the areas where rights of US citizens were infringed.

And yet he is stranded in Russia (1/6 of the world, so not bad).

What is the lesson - if you leak, leak more severe?

Interesting claim. I'm not sure many people on the left killed doctors for performing abortions, for example. That was mostly "pro life" conservatives, from what I recall.

Why are we even talking about this? Partisan politics isn't relevant.

Chelsea Manning is free. This is cause for celebration.

> An honest question: Is the "animal howl/cry" something normal to write? To me as a non-native speaker it sounds tinted in a bad way.

I'd say so, I think it refers to a sort of primal response to pain, a reaction you'd have if you were deeply wounded.
While I'm very pleased that President Obama commuted the sentence of Ms. Manning, I'm also disappointed that he did not do more to change the policy about classifying information that allows classification to be used as a form of propaganda (by classifying the stuff that contradicts the message we're meant to believe about a war).
Isn't one intended for public consumption primarily among youth and the other a private conversation? There is probably a better example to prove your point.
I think the biggest problem I have with this is more from a realpolitik angle. In theory, it's great that people like Snowden expose the invasive, over-reaching data collection American spy agencies are doing.

In practice, you can't disclose a country's national secrets without getting involved in realpolitik. Snowden ended up having to seek protection from the Russians. From my perspective, I have absolutely every reason to believe Russian spy agencies (along with many, many other countries) also engage in invasive data collecting. Which means the protection he needed sort of amounts to a "necessary hypocrisy". This protection also IMHO diminishes Snowden's goals -- politicians can now say he is "on the Russian side" and yell "traitor!", and (as the polls show) a large percentage of people will believe them, and will ignore any argument Snowden is making.

Personally, I agree with Snowden's goals, but unfortunately I think he was somewhat naive in his disclosure approach. In a way, I think the Manning / Wikileaks story is playing out the same way -- less regarding Manning, and more how Assange / Wikileaks is increasingly becoming politicized, too.
Just because you have them in your contacts, doesn't mean they have you in theirs.

Ok, I've missed your point now – what are you actually trying to say? That Google being unprofessional and delivering on the whole sub-par services is OK because a lot (but not all) people already know this, and so really paying customers should just suck it up or go elsewhere, regardless of whether or not they even can in the first place?

If I've misrepresented what you're trying to say here please do correct me, because I clearly don't get it. If I haven't, I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree – I think customers should shout from the rooftops till they're blue if they want to, even if it seems to lead nowhere.
How would one know?

Because of the media, power balances, legalities etc of US life, they obviously wouldn't be doing them in an open Third World/Banana Republic style (where, depending on the country/political climate, the state doesn't hesitate much to semi-openly get rid of enemies and more or less everybody knows they did it).

I agree that trying to force a change in the actual music is worse than requiring the parental advisory sticker, but they are both forms of censorship.

One problem is that the interpretation of lyrics is subjective, as this FBI investigation so well illustrates. Albums that sound sufficiently pop/clean/bubblegum go without the sticker when there are clearly songs explicitly about sex/drugs/etc.

For an example, look at Third Eye Blind's self-titled, debut album. Semi-Charmed Life is clearly about meth and sex, but it is sufficiently clean sounding that it gets by without a sticker.

Meanwhile, albums that sounds a little edgier, but are actually about clean, mundane subject matter have the sticker forced upon them.

IMO, the movies and games industries have much better, more objective rating systems.

It is your problem. Which you can now take to court and likely expect to get some form of compensation, since FastMail is in violation of your agreement.

I do realize putting "lifetime" on anything brings heavy emotional weight. But in the end it's simply another contract which, even without any malintent, get broken all the time. If you are the damaged party you can use the legal system to seek damages, if you feel the inflicted damage warrants going through the trouble.
Think of it this way: I've perused enough local news comment sections to know that people who are inclined to find Chelsea Manning to be a traitor are also generally more inclined to hate trans people. So, maybe this doesn't increase the risk of her being targeted by trained assassins or government spies, but it does probably increase her risk of being targeted for a hate crime.

Not all investors do, and frankly, I've seen a case where a founder was pushed out by early investors after 24-36 months. In this example, they acquired his stake for $1M+.

If no vesting currently in place, you have to do exactly nothing. The stake is yours. Your co-founders might not be able to raise investment, but you can't be forced to sell your stake. If you're reasonable, you pick a price for your shares and ask them to buy you out. If they are not willing to do that, just keep it.

Don't mean to be a pendant, but he didn't pardon her. Officially her punishment was commuted. The former forgives the crime and the latter simply reduces the penalty for the crime.
But that still works with op casually saying it'll last for a different interpretation of the word "lifetime" than might first be expected, namely a timeframe more closely aligned with the lifetime of the product than the buyer.

Secondly, it seems odd to be pedantic about such a detail when the comment itself already defines the details relevant to the analogy, making it a self-contained statement even if you didn't know what warrantees were. An analogy doesn't have to map 1-to-1 to work, as that's​ what makes it an analogy as opposed to an equivalence. Saying that a dog is as big as a cat doesn't make it a flawed analogy just because the dog doesn't have sharp claws and pointy ears.

Debating whether they are male or female seems rather pointless to me, it's a question of definitions.

> The phrase METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL is 28 characters long, and has 27 possibities for each character, making for 27^28 (about 10^40) possible combinations. To put that into perspective: it's reckoned that there's about 10^80 atoms in the visible universe. Even if the monkey could try millions of combinations per second, he would almost certainly never get there - and that's assuming he never repeated a combination.

> So it would take a very long time for the monkey to hit the right keys at random, but what about if it weren't completely random? Dawkins suggests a computer program to simulate the monkey, only using something akin to evolution to form the phrase instead of complete randomness. That is: randomness would still be involved, but in a slightly more predictable capacity than the virtual equivilent of a monkey bashing its head against a keyboard.

Funny you should mention that, because one of the unsolved questions for the theory of Evolution is that even with our current understanding of evolution, life evolves faster than one would expect based purely on DNA mutations alone.

Simple: A person's gender is a part of their personal identity. Chelsea Manning says that their gender is female, even if their biological sex is male.

As a consequence of respect for their personal identity as a member of society (and NOT fixating on their sex organs, which is frankly creepy), most people will refer to a trans* person as the gender they identify as, not the sex they were born with.

Or, if uncertain (because of genderfluidity and new pronouns like Xe/Xir/whatever), just using "singular they" and moving on with your life.

Manning was not pardoned, her sentence was commuted. She is still considered guilty on all grounds on which she was convicted.

> And Snowden ones were responsible, curated and only in the areas where rights of US citizens were infringed.

> And yet he is stranded in Russia (1/6 of the world, so not bad).

> What is the lesson - if you leak, leak more severe?

Snowden has not been sitting a in a US prison for years (in pretty difficult conditions) after a sentencing which many found excessive and unfair.

So the lesson is rather more "get sentenced to rank reduction to E-1, forfeiting of pay and allowances, dishonorably discharged and 35 years in prison and you may see the last part reduced to only ~6 years afterwards".

Oh don't forget the 6 years include a significant duration as POI at Quantico:

* checks by guards every five minutes

* not allowed to sleep between 5 am (7 am on weekends) and 8 pm

* required to remain visible at all times, no sheets, pillow built into mattress, and blanket designed for unshreddability

* sleeping attire limited to boxer shorts

* 6 × 12 ft (1.8 x 3.6 m) with no window, containing a bed, toilet and sink

* allowed to walk for up to one hour a day, meals in the cell, shackled during lawyer visits

Not to disparage Snowden, and his reasons for not coming back seem sound, but political asylum in Russia isn't exactly Manning's last 6 years.

Psychopaths are pretty often not acting in their own self-interest - they're screwing themselves in long-term to get short-term gains. A person who acts in their own self-interest is usually an upstanding member of society with perfect reputation. It's very rare for an actual, diagnosable psychopath to pull off something like that.
