Silicon Valley is a culture that celebrates extremes. Extreme ideas, extreme hours, extreme success, extreme failure. People do a ton of everything or a lot of nothing, but something is being done. The point Bukowski always made was to be d

Two choices IMO, 1) if you can afford it, replace the laptop. 2) If you can't afford it, then take up a collection from the attendees. As for adverse incentives, you should always presume that people are honest and good. However, to co
