Show HN: The Orbital Index Reaches Issue #40
Hey HN,

I started Orbital Index 40 weeks ago based on feedback that I received on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19227434) and I've been sending it out weekly ever since. The response has been great, and readership just hit 2500 people. I just wanted to say "thank you" to HN for the motivation to start this, I've learned a ton.

Here's issue #40! https://orbitalindex.com/archive/2019-11-26-Issue-40/

Ingenious and Inspired Smartphone Apps
http://blogcritics.org/scitech/article/most-inspired-smartphone-apps/
Fun fact for today: that little smartphone you carry in your pocket has more processing power than all computers NASA had back in 1969, when they sent Apollo 11 to the moon. Modern smartphones are extremely powerful by yesterday's standards. And what do we do with our personal mainframes? We play Angry Birds, send silly texts, and tweet about the contents of our fridge.

Ask HN: Incubating a startup in India while working for a Big C
I recently relocated from US to India. The job agreement that I signed to work for at a big company seems to be very restrictive.

The agreement says that anything I create even outside of the normal work hours is company's property. And, I should check with the company if anything I do might affect them or not.

The company also wants to reimburse my internet and cell phone charges. I do not know if this "benefit" is related or not.

Is this normal practice in India? What do other people do to incubate a startup while working at a Big C during normal hours?

The big company is a nice company otherwise and the work there is also interesting work. However, I want to create something on my own computer in my free time. I am concerned that the big company might create trouble, if they come to know about it. Any thoughts?

New JavaScript Widgets library Webix released
http://webix.com/featured-blog-posts/webix-released/#more-135
XB Software, a developer of high-quality web applications, announces the release of Webix, a powerful cross-browser JavaScript UI library for building responsive HTML 5-based web apps.
Webix is lightweight (about 100 kb of compressed code) and fast JavaScript library for building desktop and mobile web apps based on the latest web standards (HTML5, CSS3).
It provides a wide range of feature rich JavaScript UI widgets ranging from simple widgets, like a menu or combobox, to highly interactive charts and powerful data tables.
All Webix widgets are compatible with the latest web browsers allowing developers to create web apps that work in Internet Explorer 8+, Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Opera.
One of the main Webix features is that there’s no need to write two different apps for mobile and desktop devices. Web apps developed with this library run correctly on multiple platforms.
Mobile web apps based on the Webix library have a native look-and-feel and operate flawlessly on popular touch devices.
The server can be organized in several ways. Webix widgets are compatible with MVC frameworks (MVC.Net, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Yii) and can be easily integrated with server-side data feeds. It’s also possible to use Server Side Connectors (for PHP, Java, ASP.NET) that allow the creation of fully functional data feeds in a few lines of code. In addition, developers are capable of using any server-side technology at backend, which can expose RESTfull api for data loading and data saving.
Other Webix features are dynamic data loading, easy styling with CSS, offline support and external/internal drag-and-drop operations. Possessing all mentioned advantages.
Webix is dual licensed under open-source GNU GPL v3 and commercial licenses.

Retransmission Consent: Regulating Into Inequity
http://www.broadbandconvergent.com/cable/retransmission-consent-regulating-into-inequity/
According to recent negotiation debacles based on current Retransmission Consent Rules, regulations adopted in 1997 by the FCC in a (5-4) Supreme Court Decision, entitling broadcasters to negotiate terms of carriage from Pay TV Providers have gone dismally awry. As designed, broadcasters could elect negotiated carriage terms rather than just Must-Carry, which required operators to carry their signal in local markets for free.

JavaScript Style Sheet = JSSS = JS3
https://github.com/vikasburman/js3
Instead of putting programming in CSS, it puts CSS in a programming language.

JS3 is a real-time CSS generator. It let's you code your CSS inside javascript and offers a rich object model to play around with style rules and other constructs within your programming environment. All changes are applied instantly unless instructed otherwise.

Breaking off the CSS from being a dead text that DOM interprets and apply, it adds life to CSS constructs by adding javascript accessibility to them.

If you are a new age JavaScript coder, you are going to love it.

No official response from Oracle on the above thread is also not a good sign.
Customer Acquisition for Startups: Marketing = Buying Customers
http://blog.trycelery.com/post/80084293428/marketing-buying-customers
Crowdfunding campaigns are essentially acts of salesmanship. You have an idea for a thing. Other people have money. You persuade them to trade their money for your thing. Marketing is how you do that. Essentially, you’re buying customers. You pay content distributors to get your message in front of people so they’ll come to your website. Those content distributors are called channels. A bad channel has a high cost per customer; a good one costs less than what that customer will end up paying you.
Show HN: App for Daily Journaling
https://journal-ease.com/
Many years ago, I heard a Tim Ferris podcast with Robert Rodriguez is an avid journaler and used a bunch of Word documents to organize his daily notes. Ever since then, I couldn't get my mind off of a personal journaling system primarily organized by day; with a secondary topical organization by Label. After a few false starts of my own and wasting about $10K on an off-shore development company, I was still left with nothing. Recently, I decided to give it one more push and developed the first draft of my dream journaling tool.

I'm a developer, I want to also be a writer. Development comes much easier to me than writing.

This is an Angular app deployed into Firebase. This was my first time using Firebase. I never published an app in public before because I don't feel like I know enough about security. Firebase took all of the thinking out of it (I hope).

Still ugly and have a ways to go, but wanted to share this to see what people think. (Note if document comes up blank, hit refresh :).

Pyramid Wallet – Pocket Luxury for Those Who Love to Personalize Their Own Style
http://thegadgetflow.com/blog/pyramid-wallet-pocket-luxury-love-personalize-style/
Custom handmade goods have always been a modern man’s forte, especially when it brings that exceptional touch of royalty to their personal style. It’s typical human nature which calls for that added zeal of personalization in every product that they wish to buy. From furnitures to attires to even phone covers, we always tend to choose the ones that are unique and only possessed by us. Many of my friends including me often go grumpy when we see someone carrying the same wallet or worse, wearing the same t-shirt like that of ours at times. It’s kind of a mutual feeling from both ends, we just want to carry off our own style. But alas, are often disappointed because of the lack in personalized goods available out there. Now, at such junctures of time when products like Pyramid Wallet comes into the limelight, it’s then that the magic of having personally designed belongings gets unveiled.

The Simple, Quick, and Small jQuery HTML Form Validation Solution
http://jorenrapini.com/blog/javascript/the-simple-quick-and-small-jquery-html-form-validation-solution
This is a tutorial on how to write a validation script for HTML form inputs using jQuery. There are plenty of these out there already, but in most cases I found that they could not be applied quickly. 9 out of 10 websites that I develop need nothing more than a simple validation to tell the user when an input was left empty or filled in improperly. Once you’ve gotten the hang of this script, it will only take you a couple of minutes to reapply it to each new website that you’d like it on.
All you’ll have to do is type in a list of what fields are required, and then change the CSS style of a class to suite that particular website, and that’s it!

Thin‐layer cyclic voltammetry (TLCV)
http://blog.protogenist.com/?p=834
In 1998, Shi and Anson applied a related but less complex approach by coating a thin layer of an organic solvent on the electrode surface to examine the electron transfer process between the thin layer and the adjacent aqueous solution. This method overcomes the effect from IR drop efficiently and it is anew approach that is prompt, simple and costless. Based on the experiments, they drew some conclusions about the novel styles. Shi and Anson measured liquid/liquid interface electron rate constants that emerged from electro active substance between 1,3‐diferroceny 1‐2‐buten‐1‐one (DMFc) in the organic phase and Ru(CN)63‐/4‐ or Mo(CN)83‐/4‐ or Fe(CN)63‐/4‐located in the adjacent aqueous phase.
