I've never sat on the board of a company. But I'd imagine its a lot less demanding than a full time job.

But it's not uncommon to sit on multiple boards at the same time that a person is the CEO in their full time job. It can all start to add up a bit. Are they working extra hours? Does the CEO position not require a full 40 of their time? I suspect there are many in both categories.

It is usually a part time job. You would be expected to take other jobs.

If you're talking about Elon Musk, its not really the same thing since he owns the companies he's CEO of.

Musk does not own tesla

He also owns less than half of SpaceX. But SpaceX's management is probably just fine with him going off and focusing on Twitter, they can do fine without him playing an active role.

They probably do better when he's not around.

Which reminds me, I've been meaning to keep tabs on his former head of engineering at SpaceX. That guy is probably the one you should be watching, not Musk.

I've been burned out a few times and I'd suggest reducing work to minimum hours to give yourself some recovery time. Keep exposing yourself to new things and follow your inspirations. Eventually something will take and that spark will turn into a flame again.

I've been burned out a few times, some I didn't think I'd recover from at all. Each time though, learning something new is what brought me out of it.

Good luck.

It's a lot more than the 3 lines of code suggested. It's still very very small, only a few hours work, but it's not a 3 minute, 3 line change.

And in reality, that $50/month price may rise in order to keep the number of highlighted lines infrequent enough to still stand out.

Because the developer is afraid to even suggest he wouldn't win by a landslide?

I was thinking the same thing. The phrase "Somebody's going to be fired over that" comes to mind, but that is probably naively optimistic.

fired at

Fired... out of a canon... into the sun.

I think most of the anti-microsoft disposition is legacy and deservingly so, but IMO no longer applicable. At least not against the technology anyway, since the mvc framework is pretty good. Licensing costs are a different matter all together.

I had an idea for single mothers to post info about deadbeat dads for others to avoid. However, after thinking about it for a bit, I realized it would turn into what you were proposing and decided against it.

hehe, I actually did build that... it was called exes4all...

I've forgotten my 'stupidest' ideas, but my 'worst' idea was basically to do what PRISM is doing now. I realized you can infer a hell of a lot from the bits of information people post publicly and you could aggregate them into a comprehensive profile. There's obviously a market for this as we all now know, but I realized how evil it was and that even if it was highly successful, how shitty would I feel about selling out humanity. ... however, it does still strike me as a fascinating technical challenge.

People went ahead with it anyway. See, for example, PHORM in the UK.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorm)

> The company's proposed advertising system, called Webwise, is a behavioral targeting service (similar to NebuAd) that uses deep packet inspection to examine traffic. Phorm says the data collected will be anonymous and will not be used to identify users, and that their service would even include protection against phishing (fraudulent collection of users' personal information). Nonetheless, World Wide Web creator Sir Tim Berners-Lee and others have spoken out against Phorm for tracking users' browsing habits, and the ISP BT Group has been criticised for running secret trials of the service.

I think it's safe to assume they've requested pretty much everything for each request. And while just sharing the number of requests seems benign, you can see a disproportionate number of requests coming from certain countries in the report FB published (https://www.facebook.com/about/government_requests). Although, I do wish these reports had a 'request per 100,000 users' column.
