Responsibility is a moot point. When systems like these are rolled out to a population, different cohorts will behave differently.
The example given is just one of many who might have little choice. Many others will just accept the new practices.
Once this is normalized and widespread, it gets increasingly harder to opt out.

Very cool! It would be nice if there was a 'Highlight None' option in the drop-down.

Cmd up arrow and cmd down arrow for navigating through folders and opening docs. I miss this so much when I using Windows.

There is around 2 dozen moa skeletons on display in the Dunedin museum with a variety of subspecies that are extremely varied. Also well worth a look

Aggressive prioritization. The hours you work don't matter. What matters is if you get the job done. Be effective. Thankfully (i think) you're in a position to be judged on your effectiveness and not other criteria. As you only have to convince yourself, you co-founder and the rest of the team. It might be a chance to change the culture too. It's not about hours worked. It's about whether the work helps the company. Lots of effective hours pays off. But some effective hours are worth more than many many wasted hours. This is something that often gets lost.
Delegate to others the stuff they could do. Do only what is important. Be flexible with yourself and others.
Family matters and so does what you do with your life. Remember, life is a marathon, not a sprint. There are no prizes for getting to the end first. Look after yourself and make the best decision you can. Best of luck

Was just listening to an interview with Peter Beck. He clarifies the US-NZ question. Short answer is it is both, I had my proportions off with being more (3/4) American now. It's been American company since 2012. The US factory is 3 times larger than the NZ factory and makes stuff we're can't do here.

Mission Control was in Auckland.They used to be an NZ company but incorporated in the US to get a launch license as it was apparently much easier as a US company. Most of their work and staff is still in NZ
