Why do this? I don't understand ... am I just being too old school / narrow minded about this?

I hope.

A weird part of me wants to live through some massive sic-fi event like that. Probably the same sick part of me that wants to see Trump win simply to watch the fallout.

Really? I wouldn't think this of a friend not on a particular social website or if I myself was the one on a particular social website.

I guess I'm old (mid thirties) and rely so heavily on text et al

Agreed, this fits the definition when in this context and with this intent

Better than most shows on television at the moment!

That seems unlikely to have had such a big impact in such a short period of time.

I don't think their proposed approach makes them an asshole. No need for promoting absolutism.

amen

and the penalty is ..... ?

If you need to be have your team banging on the keyboard 24/7/365 then you have the wrong people or the wrong management.

We all keep forgetting John Henry ultimately lost the race :)

Yeah, that's why the qualifier is there. I COMPLETELY agree yo can outsource that. Hell, provably even provide a materially better outcome however, if you/your are involved, it takes you shifting priorities.

Other things I've added is putting my phone on a shelf when I come home and only answering emails after my kids have gone to bed and my wife and I have had some time to hang out.

I also take two lunches a week where I hit the gym and go two additional times (in the evening and once in the morning on the weekends).

My point being, the business I help run is thriving, dates/goals are being met, people are happy, and the world kept turning.

Making my career priority #4 has ultimately made me better at my career. No burnout, better focus and creativity, etc.

I honestly wish I did this when I got into the startup space back in 2004 where if you didn't work ~80 hours a week you were a freak.

Thanks.

I would say I've updated this to state that I am out of the house around 8:30 am now spending even more time with my kids.

I still get up around ~5:30 - 6:00 am, but don't bounce out of the house as early.

Also, my kids are sleeping better now that they are older (and sleeping in) so I need to stay home later to spend quality time with them each morning.

A metric major fuck ton.

If you truly want to be present and have an active role in your child's life, growth, development et al it's going to force your priorities to shuffle around.

If your "startup" is still a priority (but not above your child) you aren't going to be in the office from sun up to sun down. Period.

You'll have to make up those hours later (when the child is sleeping) however, in months 0-24, that's really tough as most children (at least not mine) didn't sleep well during that phase.

During those years, and for me it spanned 5 calendar years given multiple children, working late at night was a luxury, not an option I could plan on.

I however, disclosed that when taking a CTO position at a company that just wrapped up a ~$20 dollar round. It was transparent to them and set the right expectations.

I do acknowledge that a company in that stage albeit not out of the woods, is not in the same position in the seed, Series-A phase.

If you look in my comment history I gave a "day in the life of" for my schedule on how I manage running a startup and keeping my family, health, self priority #1, #2, and #3. It's buried in there somewhere.

One of my first languages out of Uni. Still influences my thinking to this day 15 years later.

BUT NODE.JS IS NON BLOCKING?!?@?!?!?!

Kidding.

Urban airship as well I believe. I just remember typically finding Parse the easiest each time I had the opportunity to re-evaluate.

Wait, so we have to register our micro-drones, but there's no serial or identification # for this giant piece of metal

Honestly, the brake is SO sensitive on the Model S (a slight tap has you flying forward I've found) that you COULD almost make this a reality.

ELECTRIC seat belts.

Am I the only person who hasn't changed how I use that button?? It's what I use to "mark" a tweet so I can easily come back and either read/refer to it later.

Actually, I work in this space and we (and our competitors such as UberEats, etc) all tap into the restaurant's down time when the kitchen currently isn't being used. That's essentially the pitch as to what's in it for them. Give us your kitchen between 9-10 and will give you sales you otherwise wouldn't have had.

Isn't he basically saying use your natural lexicon vs. an artificial one (typically used to make oneself sound more educated).

This was confusing for A LOT of people!!

I've used this method before, and so long as you are transparent BEFORE they accept the job, and actually give them the support they need to successfully accomplish this, I've had it work really well.

You want to be arrested as a "cyber terrorist"? Because that's how you get arrested as a "cyber terrorist" :)

Where? Doing what?

Where do you work now?

They didn't cheat.

1 - Based on what was said, multiple entries are allowed. 2 - They didn't remove ALL entry slips, left several

These contests are all about having people come back and apply gain, and again, and again.

How many little things the the parents pickup at KMart simply because they were there and it was convenient? Probably a fair bit.

This is my greatest fear. This is the one thing that can paralyze me late at night when my mind wanders and wonders about what can go wrong in regards to my two daughters.
