Makes me wonder if some languages (Spanish, Catalan, Japanese, ...) will adopt a new word for "soil" that isn't synonymous with "earth" once we start farming on other planets.

In Romance languages, there is a separate Latin term, closely related to the word "soil," which survives in French and Portuguese. Maybe sol/solo will be borrowed back into the Romance languages where it died out.
Yes. Once you give your data over to a 3rd party, any privacy or adherence to legal process is benevolence on their part. There is nothing (in the US) that requires them to treat (most) data as private information.
Is this safe? Any guides?
Tools for these kinds of migrations do exist, but the problem is split in to:

1. The migration of your Applications & Dependencies: Let's say you have a bunch of web applications in different frameworks. I imagine you would install your favourite web server and language/framework dependencies, set up their database servers then clone in your applications from their source control, and install any db schemas. You could automate this entire process by using a tool like Ansible to define the entire process in code. It requires a little more investment initially but then in the future bootstrapping your entire stack elsewhere is as simple as running the Ansible configuration on a fresh VM.

2. Migrating Persistent Data: I would probably use a tool like Rsync to move any large data across providers to servers that have been configured as above.

As a Bonus, you could also use Terraform to provision the VMs in the new hosting provider (assuming there's a provider for your chosen company). This can fire API calls off to create the VMs, configure networking etc, then start the Configuration Management tool like Ansible).

Having said that, there's a bit of learning to do to use these tools so I could see some value in a simple tool for migrating VPS'. However, my gut feeling is that you'll need some form of templating/understanding of the changes between the old&new VPS' (even things as simple as IP address changes), so it could be easy to end up reinventing the wheel.
I was more referring to the role that the news plays in all of this rather than specifically facts vs images.

Even worse, those early systems had mute buttons and those mute buttons got such use they they're obviously worn our or broken through use. So new gas pump AV, no mute button. Last time I pumped gas I stood their with my hand over the speaker to muffle the damn thing.
I was wondering about that. The article mentions the spin off companies without mentioning what they were.

So could this have been preventable? I've heard Toys-R-Us wasn't that bad off; it's just that they had a leverage buyout in like the 90s or 2000s that put them in a lot of debt with the hope their growth rate would continue.

The Toys-R-Us failure didn't really make any sense since people still like to physically see and touch toys before purchasing them (although I guess retailers like Target, Wal-Market, independent toy shops, et. al. have large enough toy sections now to take care of that?)

There's a great 99% Invisible podcast about Sears houses. Before the cookie-cutter boom after WW2, a lot of Americans ordered kit houses from Sears which arrived in rail cars and could be assembled in a few months. Many of these houses still exist, and the people who owned them were completely unaware until amateur historians recognized them, contacted the owners and discovered the Sears seals or part numbers in their basement or attics.

> you will be blamed for everything

Yes. I'm going to venture to say that if you sense this at all or you can already feel like you know that your co-workers / superiors aren't very tech savvy and you suspect they hired you to be a one-stop-shop to fix everything computer and technology related for them (that they don't know about themselves) than you need to, in painful detail, outline their expectations of you, your capabilities, what you can and can't do, what you think should be done, and also give ideas and plans for how to tackle the toughest things they expect as well as how you'll go about outsourcing things you don't know how to do / don't want to do / can't do from 3rd parties who absolutely can deliver those things.

Get ahead of the nightmare before it eats you alive.

EDIT: Since so many other people are echoing my sentiments I'll also add that if you feel like your superiors think along the lines of, "Good developers are a dime a dozen and you can be easily replaced.", than you need to start job hunting. I've met a few people who did IT or sales in server space / colocation, etc. and helped them on a few side projects / start-up ideas and I'll never forget how much money they wound up losing after trying to low ball me for work I did when they dropped that line on me, flat out, in the middle of me working on their websites, network, general IT stuff, and other apps / generic projects. They tried to renegotiate my payment amount and payment schedule in the middle of the contract after already signing it. Big mistake.

It felt so good to hold all the cards and power when they tried to flex that "I'm your boss and I can make or break your career / life right now." attitude. They thought they could easily replace a developer / technical person like changing shoes but they didn't realize that a lot of developers won't put up with this shit from the get go. Lots of people won't even give it a chance, they aren't willing to work with superiors who are learning how to treat technical folks. Be careful out there and don't allow your superiors to dictate your mood or happiness. It's not worth your time, effort, or the money because if you find yourself in that situation you can almost bet your aren't getting paid enough. You'll probably be doing the work of 2-3 or more professionals for people bringing in the money you should be making while doing next to no actual work that helps the company profit.

Another thing. If you do wind up leaving a company and you know they aren't paying you enough you can nearly bet that after you go and they try to fill your spot they'll attempt to fill it by paying someone LESS than they paid you. I've heard nightmare stories from recruiters / headhunters I've worked with who were tasked with trying to fill my shoes with companies who seriously thought I was wrong when I told them they were asking too much of me / paying me too little for the "bare minimum" they thought I was doing (multiple people's jobs as I said). People are crazy out there.
MIAX Wins Approval for VIX Competitor SPIKES, High Resolution Volatility Index
I think the "Lean Startup" trend is very useful for a large amount of entrepreneurs, who suffer similar issues. Primarily being afraid of launching their product until it's "perfect".

It's very, very easy to just keep working on things indefinitely, never quite being perfect - a backlog that adds two new items for every one you finish. And the longer you work on something, the more pressure there is for it to be "perfect" at launch. Additionally, if in all this time, you're not getting feedback - you may be developing something that is not quite what people want. Feedback is crucial, and launching your project is a surefire way to get real, useful feedback.

Getting something out there is half the battle for a lot of people. Myself included. It's a very large psychological barrier to launching something. And the more work you put in, the larger that barrier grows - which is paradoxical sounding, but true. With a smaller, proof-of-concept launch, you can change your product direction more easily - if it turns out the feedback isn't great. With a larger more polished product, you have already invested so much into the current direction. There's momentum and emotional attachment (for people like me, that is) which makes it unwise to proceed like that.

But if you don't suffer from these problems of seeking false perfection before launch, and you get feedback throughout development from non-launch sources - you don't need to subscribe to the "lean" mentality.
The "extra" english words succinctly add context then.
It was a simpler time for security. :)
What is deeply cynical is the guy who discovered the corollary to "Never do work unless you can prove its value" which is "If you can disprove the value of someone else's work so much the better." He literally took notes on every employee of his peers and then trotted them out for negative feedback during the end-of-year ranking process.

The resulting brinksmanship guaranteed his employees were ranked exactly the way he wanted. Ironic but he's now the head of a recruiting agency that purports to find top candidates via "big data" techniques yet he did his very best to subvert the system. So what exactly does he think he's datamining?

You've always been able to accept a credit card without online authorization. If you've used credit cards for long enough, you've seen the carbon copy charge slips. Magstripes (or keying in the card number) works offline too, and chip cards have an offline mode. The merchant fees are higher when you run cards offline, and the risk of having a charge declined is higher too.

I'm guessing the reason they're doing a stored value system is because the per transaction part of the merchant fees is too high for vending machine coffee, getting a larger deposit as one transaction helps a lot with that (although, apparently not enough to hire people who know not to trust clients)

'eye-pleasing' is a subjective thing here and doesn't have much to do with functionality/readability (on the contrary, which is why you posted your comment). I think I understand what the OP means: that code sample, when looked at as an art form and not as code, indeed can be considered eye-pleasing by some because of the symmetry etc. For that aspect whether the code is readable has nothing to do with it.

The user is expected to make linear movements to operate a rotary control. This is the reason that most properly-designed applications utilize linear slide controls for similar functions.

I hate this UI paradigm. There are a bunch of graphic design apps on iOS that do this (e.g. Affinity Designer) where you can change something like line width. The icon shows a circle filling up as you change the property (it’s rotary so it’s the circle “ring” filling up, not the disk). Except it expects you to move your finger linearly to change the property, not in a rotary fashion so it’s very confusing. Also you can move your finger linearly up and down OR left and right. These movements are not exclusive of one another so you can move your finger in a rotary pattern and then wonder why the line width changes seemingly at random.

The implied price of tether by comparing the price of BTCUSDT vs BTCUSD (and, for that matter, all XXXUSDT and XXXUSD pairs) is consistent with the price indicated on Kraken. That exchange, as far as I'm aware, is the only USDUSDT exchange operating currently.

At 2018-10-15T13:33:24Z:
Kraken USDTZUSD: 0.9248
Gemini BTCUSD: 6384.0
Bitfinex BTCUSDT: 6925.1
G / bfx USDTUSD: 0.9218

Technically, Bitfinex operates a USDUSDT exchange (at 1:1), but they are reporting banking problems [1], and its possible that liquidity flight is driving some of the differential. Their exchange is de facto BTCUSDT since Tether is the fastest path to USD liquidity available, especially at the moment.

Sears owned Prodigy on-line originally (jointly with IBM). If anything they were above the curve in that regard. But just like Microsoft and their satellite maps (years before Google Earth), they didn't push those technologies in the right direction.

IBM and Microsoft are still around (kinda surprisingly, at least for IBM, when you think about how old the company really is. I mean they sold punch cards to the Nazis).

Sears was literally the Amazon of the 1900s. Everything could be bought from their catalogues and they pushed those catalogues harder than Tigers Direct. It shows that no matter how big you are, other similar companies can easily go the same way.

I wonder if Amazon, Facebook and Google will still be as big when I retire, or if they'll be in a decline or dead.
If you have 500 customers and your competitor has 500 customers. You are in a market of over 10,000 potential users.

> It is 20%-40%-40%. 20% for me for now because I work remotely.

I have trouble following the logic there. If your remote status means you're significantly less valuable / productive than someone local (to the other founders), they should replace you with a local hire.

But if you're a right person for the job, then I can't think of any principled reason for you to accept less than 1/3, protected ownership of the company.

That being said, because this is a business relationship, IMO you're best served by viewing this dispassionately as a negotiation. It's hard to justify a particular level of ownership for you as being "fair", similarly to how it's hard to justify a particular price for a commodity as being "fair". So you might consider the following goal instead: try to maximize your equity + salary, within the constraints of (a) dealing honestly, and (b) keeping it a win-win-win proposition for you and the other two owners.

And, as others have said, prior to renegotiating, give some serious thought to the ways your 20% can become 0%. Even if your still in the honeymoon period with the other founders, there's a decent chance they, or other investors, will try to strip that away from you in the future. It sucks, but it's one of the painful lessons of startup life. Monetary stress or greed can turn many persons into unbelievable jerks.

Earth's moon has unstable orbits:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_orbit#Perturbation_effec...

Gravitational anomalies slightly distorting the orbits of some Lunar Orbiters led to the discovery of mass concentrations (dubbed mascons) beneath the lunar surface caused by large impacting bodies at some remote time in the past. These anomalies are significant enough to cause a lunar orbit to change significantly over the course of several days.

See also:

https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2006/0...

Joining an earlier subsatellite PFS-1, released by Apollo 15 astronauts eight months earlier, PFS-2 was to measure charged particles and magnetic fields all around the Moon as the Moon orbited Earth. The orbit of PFS-2 rapidly changed shape and distance from the Moon. In 2-1/2 weeks the satellite was swooping to within a hair-raising 6 miles (10 km) of the lunar surface at closest approach. As the orbit kept changing, PFS-2 backed off again, until it seemed to be a safe 30 miles away. But not for long: inexorably, the subsatellite's orbit carried it back toward the Moon. And on May 29, 1972—only 35 days and 425 orbits after its release—PFS-2 crashed.

Be careful of the orbit chosen for a low-orbiting lunar satellite. "What counts is an orbit's inclination," that is, the tilt of its plane to the Moon's equatorial plane. "There are actually a number of 'frozen orbits' where a spacecraft can stay in a low lunar orbit indefinitely. They occur at four inclinations: 27º, 50º, 76º, and 86º"—the last one being nearly over the lunar poles. The orbit of the relatively long-lived Apollo 15 subsatellite PFS-1 had an inclination of 28º, which turned out to be close to the inclination of one of the frozen orbits—but poor PFS-2 was cursed with an inclination of only 11º.

edit: added additional information about frozen orbits.

Given the fact that there are still lots of people whose entire job is translating 6,000-year-old grocery receipts from Sumeria, it's not at all unlikely that tweets being written today will be still be widely studied and considered important 10,000 years from now. But those short links are unlikely to resolve for even the next 20 years.

Consistency is key. Follow the style that the code already uses. For new apps, I make sure the team has the same style template and use the editor to format the page.
