Imagine you receive $10,000 worth of meat, with a legal restriction that prevents you from selling that meat before it spoils. You have to keep it in the freezer for two years before you can sell it. What was the value of the meat you received?
You can't exactly set aside the cash when you receive illiquid assets, such as restricted stock or options, in compensation. It makes it a huge risk to even get equity in that situation, unless you are the founder who has an 83(b) on file.
Removal, as in expulsion. I didn't miss a thing. The gas chamber mythology is entirety based on emotional propaganda. The facts point to the German camps as a network designed for prisoner labor and transportation and show no support for homicidal poison gas chambers.

A bug fix is not a breaking change. You are speaking in tautologies. "A bug fix is a change that is a change to the API". No, bug fix does not change the interface. A bug fix does not change the API. It does not require a semantic version change unless it also changes the expected behavior of the method, in which case it is a change in the documentation, which is part of the application programming interface.
The argument that penalties should be paid out of the purchase price would probably hold water. When Smyte entered into those contracts they took on some duty to honor them and to suddenly dishonor them and divert all the assets out of the company so that penalties wouldn't ve avoided would be constructive fraud.
It's probably a bad idea to run a whole cluster on your laptop anyways. I never understood that practice. Just set up a server/mini-cluster and use that for development to host your ancillary services like RabbitMQ or whatever else you need. Then run the app you're actually developing, and only that, on your laptop.
These guys don't need computers, what the hell is anyone going to do with Microsoft Word experience in a place with no electricity or computers, besides LEAVE? They would be just as well off using typewriters.
