"Only-for-HOME" footwear needs to be stressed. Then there are "bathroom-only" slippers that is specific to 1 bathroom and will be used by all.

Ok, this is just a non-technical version of what @souterrain posted.

If I am the CEO of a local supermarket or a butchery, I don't need to know my domain registrar as they are not a major factor to my business. My website being down for 1 week also might not make a big difference. My customers deal with my company face to face.

But if I am a CEO of an "Internet company" and my customers deal with me via my "domain", I damn well ensure that I have a weekly quick call with the guy who could block my domain abruptly.

Couple of things about Zoho that I don't understand.

- Why use the same domain for the free service, which is usually more prone to abuse?

- Zohocorp.com is hosted on GoDaddy. Why not move all your domains to a single company so that they value your business more and give you a better level of customer service?

I hope once this is all over, Zoho just shares their feedback and some advices that will help small businesses.

Why not just have removable battery? It can be easily replaced.

> But in software you don't need to cut down trees or mine ore.

Lets not forget the dictators with child soldiers that use forced labour to mine the rare earth materials & the factories with nets to catch the workers that attempt suicide, which are a part of making computers & mobiles that is vital for software development. Also, where our old devices & batteries end up. Softwares do rack up a huge carbon foot-print.

I think a better way of putting is that the founders of these startups will cringe to share a public stage or at the very mention of one of the mentioned groups but will happily take their money.

Exactly, innovation is dead. Now its a bunch of remix artist that are trying to make a quick buck. Whatsapp is purposely going stale (what is the deal with only being able to sync with gdrive or icloud, what if I want to switch my OS, how to get my data out?) in the hopes that people will move to messenger like how Google just killed gtalk in the hope that customers will move to one their many messenger.

This is the case in hardware also. Every phone looks like an iphone & tablets are a larger phone, I miss the days when Nokia & Samsung used to release phones of various form factors.

What you are talking about is "echo chamber". By subscribing to a select few people who share your mind set, you only get messages from them and when that is all you see, you think that is general consensus and you dig in. What you see on a social media page is in no way a reflection of how the general population thinks.

I once saw the homepage of my colleagues facebook page and I was not sure if it was actually facebook. We did not even share a single post and all the news feed was a direct reflect on the person he was, which took me months of daily interaction to understand.

Contract workers or Uber workers is a bad deal for all, with some short term gains.

For a worker, yes, its less of office politics and having to deal with crappy co-workers. But that is how you grow. I learned so much when I am working with people than being all alone. So, having couple of people approach the same problem in different ways, helps you learn, teach & grow. I was learning something new everyday, when I was working in a team. Plus contract jobs are effecting the basic needs of human beings - "food, clothing & shelter", due to the very nature of uncertainly. Basically I am more worried about the basics and not as focused at my job when I have a full time job. I feel that I am just completing the task at hand to get paid. I don't analyse the issue and try to find a solution or seek for some improvement. Plus working in a specific domain for a period will help in gaining experience and you have build up skills.

For a employer, how much ever you document a solution, there is going to be knowledge gaps. Only when you have someone working on a problem for a while, will they be able to come up with a better solution. Each employee comes come a different background and will view the problems differently. That will bring about a nice work culture.

Team work is not given enough credit. Instead, there is always the focus on one rock star that does it all. I personally feel that for that one rock star to actually perform, there needs to be a team behind to support.

I have heard of stories like yours. Its sad. Cannot you counter sue the lady??? you have proof of being in a relationship and the pics she sent you on your anniversary. You should not let idiots screw you over like this.
