Is there a way to get the full progress bar to hide (without quitting the app) once I'm done with a timer, but am not yet ready to start another?
If you git reset --hard and you have a dirty working directory, you can absolutely blow work away. That's one of the main reasons to use git reset --hard, but I agree that it needs to be used with intention.
The easiest way to protect against it is to never use it if you have a dirty working directory, always commit first and then reset --hard after you've committed.
The average family uses their car probably less than 10% of the time. The rest of that time could be used by others.
Once self-driving cars are ubiquitous, I expect that an Uber-like service will be the norm. You either subscribe or rent per trip and schedule when and where you want to be picked up.
The service you subscribe to has a fleet of cars and knows when people want to be picked up and where they want to be dropped off, as well as whether you're willing to carpool on the way (for a discount). They can optimize the scheduling of their fleet in the same way that FedEx and UPS optimize their driving routes now.
The future is going to feel a little strange and I can't wait.
Some previous colleagues of mine just raised 2.6M a couple of weeks ago [1] for a very similar sounding idea [2]. This is a hot space right now with all of the attention on health care because of the ACA and all of the failings of the public exchanges in the press.

I'll take another look to see if there's anything that I can do with the gif creation process I have.
If anyone has suggestions for gif recorders that give you control at this level, I'd love to know about it.
I've always loved PeepCode's focus on design and I hope that Geoffrey brings some of that influence to PluralSight. From the little bit of poking around on their website that I've done, I think they could really benefit from this. What they have feels very "clipart" influenced with little style.
I've been thinking about getting a sit/stand desk for a while, but don't like the electric ones as they seem really slow. This seems the nicest of the manually operated ones (better looking than the steelcase one IMO).
Your description misses (or conflates) an entire tree of information (the HEAD tree), and it's arguably the most important one as it holds the whole of your git repo's history.
I didn't fully understand git till I read Scott Chacon's "A Tale of 3 Trees" which explains what reset is all about and goes into the details: http://git-scm.com/blog/2011/07/11/reset.html
I love git, but I do not think it's obvious or intuitive without some explanation. It's different than any other SCM I've used in the past. I created this presentation a while ago that I think highlights some of the real concepts that people need to know to really understand git: http://tednaleid.github.io/showoff-git-core-concepts/
Then there are the likely VC liquidation preference multipliers where they'll get a larger piece of the pie.
He's been gone since 2010 so I'm guessing any options he had were exercised so it should be long term capital gains. Figure in taxes and take away any previous exercise costs and I bet it's around 1-1.5 million that he's cleared. A nice sum, but definitely not "yacht-and-helicopter money".
If it's individual, what are you doing with the people in a startup that are considered uninsurable (it's not 2014 yet so no guaranteed insurance). Some states, like MN with it's MCHA program, have guaranteed-issue pools for people who are denied, but that's only about 25% of states. Are you limiting your exposure to those states till 2014?
I've spent a lot of time in the health insurance/health care space, so I can appreciate the complexity in the benefits market. My last startup, Bloom Health, was in a similar space (defined contribution health plans for small employers) and we sold to Wellpoint, HCSC, and BCBS of MI in 2011. We started with individual plans, but eventually switched to group plans because the individual space was just too hard without PPACA in place. Lots of opportunities here now that it's almost 2014 and Obama has been re-elected. Good luck!
It's quite likely that I would have never bought either kindle if I didn't know that I'd have the option, after purchase, to pay the difference and get rid of the ads. This way, I can see how bad they are and judge for myself if I'd rather go ad free.
Having this option on the latest Kindle fire would make me more likely to purchase the version with ads initially, as it's a lower price and I know I've got an "out".
In the ~9 months that I've owned the kindle, the ads haven't been offensive or obtrusive so I've never bothered to get rid of them (and I refuse to watch cable TV because the ads bother me too much).
We pay $5 for next-day delivery or $10 for same-day (for orders of at least $50, otherwise add another $5 to delivery).
It's a huge time saver, we have groceries delivered every Sunday and they have good selection and produce. The prices are a little more expensive, but it's totally worth it for us.
The startup I'm working at also uses it periodically to have soda and snacks delivered. Much easier and more reliable than having to send someone out every few weeks.
I wouldn't be surprised if in a year or two, yammer is also rebranded under the SharePoint name as something like SharePoint TeamChat 2013 Enterprise. If that happens, it'll likely drop off my radar as quickly as Groove did.
