To me the more likely problem is Google sunsetting the service and/or migrating it to something that doesn’t do the same things. Because probably at some point Google will have extracted all the business value from the old photos and they will just be dead weight on its servers and switches. More importantly all those pictures are a legal liability because of copyright violations and pornography. This is the ordinary fate of all picture hosting services in general and Google in particular has a track record of shuttering services low revenue services after a few years.
Almost all of the malware I've seen on modern macOS is in the form of phony Flash updaters and the MacKeeper software. Even though Apple ramped up its code signing requirements, the malware distributors have access to faked/stolen developer identities.

"But ended up saying random biased points", can you point me which one exactly? Has the US been at war in the middle east in the past 20 years or not?

This is an interesting question. I'm certainly not a lawyer, but it's not obvious to me whether or not removals of code would be copyrightable. If Dev A writes 1000 lines of code, and Dev B carefully removes 20 specific lines that are unnecessary or introduce bugs, the resulting codebase consists entirely of Dev A's code, but Dev B might justifiably claim to deserve credit for their effort. I'd like someone more familiar with copyright law to chime in.
It's unsurprising, but it's also another nail in the 'the restrictions on users are for security purposes' coffin. Not allowing 3rd party replacements of the entire mainboard? Okay, understandable.

This is actually what started me down this path a while ago. I had to do a full text search feature for some text of questionable sources, and some users had taken to using the full width characters for emphasis (I think, they clearly had rules in their head for whey they'd use it, but I didn't know what the rules were). There are libraries that can handle the official Unicode normalization rules, but users don't exactly always pay attention to the official rules, so I get to start finding all sorts of weird little corners of Unicode.

Though, as I understand it, the full-width characters are there not for any modern use cases, but for historical reasons having to deal with older character sets.

Still interesting.

You could see if you can attract funding from elsewhere too if you feel the current terms aren't right. There are rolling funds such as these https://shl.vc https://tinyseed.com that have short turn around times, if you want to try your luck. Chances are, there are others who are just as willing to fund you but haven't heard from you to know what you're building. Good deal makers are always in a rush to close you out if they think you're of value, so tread with caution and keep your counsel.

Nice! That does indeed look like quite a nice resource.
Asteroids orbit the Sun (or presumably other stars), but don't clear their orbital path, generally within the inner Solar system (within Jupiter's orbit).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid

Rogue planets orbit no star. They are interstellar objects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_planet

Dwarf planets are another classification, and can include asteroids, but also other types of bodies (Pluto is often classified as an Kuiper belt object). "A dwarf planet is a planetary-mass object that does not dominate its region of space and is not a satellite."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_planet
Thanks. I apprecite the input.
> In general business problems that we deal with do not Require higher order functions.

I cannot agree here, being currently involved in modeling and simulation work that would heavily benefit from more advanced type systems. A user would usually prefer to interact with a system with basic elements, but the interactions of the underlying domain concepts really do want to be captured with a richer set of tools.

And, to head off the "in general", there is a long tail of unique problem domains. Each individually doesn't get as much press as, say, a CRUD app, but that doesn't mean that simpler problem domains are necessarily in the majority.
Legal twist: Since the project is under AGPL, this technically makes anybody who downloads/uses the project a copyright owner (you have the right to make copies), thus anybody could send a valid DMCA request to the repo.

Obviously we're a bit in uncharted territory and there's some nuances and things vary by jurisdiction, it should be receivable one way or another, and it would take 10 years in court to really determine it.
One other concern that is important here is that if the need or desire to litigate the license ever occurs, inability to clearly show ownership hampers an effective argument (or at least makes it less clear) and might make the license terms expensive or impossible to enforce. As copyright owner, it's your decision about whether and on what terms you want to participate in a project, but the project does get to decide on what terms it requires of contributors. I'd argue that a strong reluctance to share one's work under fairly common terms in the Open Source community only means that you're not a good candidate for working on such projects. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The difference between asteroid and planets is just mass. There are some specific rules that dictate the classifications, but the simplest explanation is just that asteroids are hunks of space rock and planets are bigger hunks of space rock.

The "rogue" in rogue planet means isolated similar to how a "rogue wave" doesn't belong to a pattern of other large waves. A rogue planet is a planet that isn't orbiting a star.

There are theoretically also rogue asteroids, but I have never seen that phrased used in that context. That might be because "rogue asteroid" is often used colloquially to describe an difficult to predict asteroid that might hit Earth. Another reason might be is that only asteroids we have ever officially observed are orbiting our sun. Asteroids are so relatively small that it is almost impossible to find one outside our solar system with our current tech. We would basically have to hope that a rogue asteroid just happens to fly through our solar system.

ʻOumuamua[1], which was discovered a few years ago was an interstellar object that might fight the definition of rogue asteroid. However there is still a lot of debate whether it was an asteroid, a comet, some other natural space object, or even potentially some artificial object made by intelligent life. That last theory isn't particularly well supported but it is fun to think about.

Interestingly, the phaistos disk[1] has its own little bit of Unicode and from what I understand the only known “original” use of all of the symbols is the phaistos disk itself. I guess there was enough discussion about the disk and it’s symbols to include it.

> You don’t have to worry about the (potentially unsignalled) intent of any other drivers, make eye contact with them

It's very possible to have situations at a roundabout that aren't binary. It can be legitimately unclear if the person in the next entrance is going to enter the roundabout before you, especially because the exact moment a car counts as "in" the roundabout is a fuzzy measure that people could disagree on. If they're going slower than you, then whether you or they are supposed to yield can be unclear. So you have to handle their intent, not just follow a checklist.

This is a rare situation, but so is having to worry about the intent of other drivers at a 4 way stop.

> time their arrival

You definitely have to time the arrival at roundabouts. Cars can't stop instantly, so any situation that involves yielding means you have to time things.

> The roundabout serialises the traffic flow so that a driver entering the roundabout need only deal with the next vehicle in the lane.

You need to pay attention to other cars coming up too, the ones that will be in front you at the roundabout in addition to the cars that are in front of you while approaching the roundabout. This could easily be more than three.

And if a 4 way stop is experiencing a lot of traffic, it goes into a mode where cars alternate in pairs, so you only have to look at the turn signal of the car across you. This specific case is actually easier than a busy small roundabout!

> To be honest though, I think you know all of this, and you’re simply engaging with me in bad faith.

I'm not engaging in bad faith at all. You're overestimating the problems with 4 way stops, while arguing as if [small] roundabouts are perfect. Neither one is perfect, and neither one is dangerous.
Who is "our minds" vs "we"?
Immutability is not about safety (not only i guess). It is about having code that is easier to reason about.
Is C undefined behavior and use after free "shame" or "stigma"?

JavaScript has bad parts and design (and big community that claims it is fine language), Perl has great design and small community (and everyone can bash it), PHP has horrible design flows and a big community that does not address issues from "Fractal of bad design" but claims language is fixed.

As experienced developer I know what good design is. This article saved a lot of novices from trapping into badly designed language as a first one.

At least some PHP proponents makes fools of themselves:

> This of course is coming, like usual, from someone who spent a significant portion of their life in academia and then moved to R&D and still has yet to make a dent in the world, or likely their student loans [1].

Words of true believer. PHP can't transition to not bad language because of such believers. Those who can see faults left. And what's left is echo chamber. There would be no break of backward compatibility. I've checked, from design perspective nothing changed.

All I see is community discarding critique without addressing it or even understanding it.

What counts is not the quantity of choices its the complexity and cost of failure especially if the choices are interrelated with other choices and the cost of failure increase with successive badly chosen choices.

Standardization drastically reduces the cost of choices by letting you make them independently, a healthy market increases the chances that there will be many good choices, transparency increases the chance that you will pick one that is good for you.

A small number of complicated interrelated choices would be manifestly worse than a large number of independent mostly good enough choices. This is why its mostly ok that there are a billion different cars. Most of your choices are good enough for most purposes and you don't have to pick your phone, your route home, your brand of gas station based on your car or options.

Having few choices is virtually always bad. The converse is a difficult position to defend when instead of fewer choices one nearly ought to always wish for easier ones.

All of science is worth pursuing because we never know what we will discover and how it will turn out to be useful. Vast arrays of our current advanced technology and industry depend on discoveries at first thought to be completely useless or mere curiosities. There is of course a reasonable debate to be had about the extent to which various endeavours should be funded, but history has shown time and again you can’t pick and choose up front which avenues of investigation will eventually turn out to be important.

For example wandering interstellar objects might seem irrelevant to human life, but we literally discovered one flying through our solar system just a few years ago. It now seems this is a very regular occurrence. These things are shooting past our planet all the time. Maybe not so irrelevant after all. Maybe it would be nice to know more about them, their relative abundance, properties and behaviour, since we live down range in their shooting gallery.
One could swap PHP for any possible language and your comment could still be true, because you're describing project management and software architecture failures.

Not only is that actually abuse, it's also illegal in most of the developed world for that very reason. That some people have internalised their childhood abuse and rationalised it as 'it worked', because they don't want to recognise that their parents treated them wrong doesn't change that. In fact it actually proves an important point, that it is important to always speak up against abuse, because a lot of people who have been abused often in an attempt to not deal with it rationalise it away.

Thank you. Obviously the comma after "just" wasn't meant to be there but replacing "use" with "buy" discarded a portion of the meaning. The article says people overrate value of what they build themselves and are more likely to keep using it for longer. I don't feel convinced this applies to most of the Ikea shopping cases - I believe the factors I've mentioned might play more significant roles. I also doubt many people would prefer to spend time tweaking an app in a hypothetical scenario in which they could actually get it pre-configured in perfect accordance with their needs and tastes.

Do contracts in your jurisdictions not require mutual consideration or are licenses without mutual consideration facially defective? And is this gratuitous licenses in general don't exist or just in copyright?

Interesting. The mathematical notation I learned in school was: f:x↦2x+3, So I guess this would translate to f:(x,y)↦(y,x).

Alternatively, the f(x,y) = (y,x) notation would work (sort of, you tend to explicitly write out the base vector 𝑒ₖ for both notations: f(x,y) = f(x𝑒₁+y𝑒₂) = y𝑒₁+x𝑒₂ )

They do, and there are potentially 60 or so contributors.

However, only those 60 people have a dog in this fight (or legally only they have "standing"). It is up to one of them to do "something" as none of us (anyone other than those 60) have any sort of actionable claim other than to shame them. You and I might not like the fact that they are altering / violating the license but that is moot.

Just as a gut check: 25% of the company for 200k is a lot of equity for a low price. That's a yellow flag to me. It says to me that the investor doesn't think the company will grow huge and/or there should be room for future investors.

I'm not sure what you product or idea is, but companies where technology is the core tend to have all founders (or N-1) capable of building product. You have 1 of 3, so what are those other two folks doing? Again, a yellow flag. In terms of the business, I'd worry this is going to be low margin, if it takes 2x as many sellers to sell as it takes builders to build, from day 1.

Technology is leverage, and you're the only one building the lever that lifts this company off the ground. My advice is to make sure your founders understand this and to make sure all three of you are focused on building a true MVP. You need to build something that is easy to set up, easy to use, and delivers true value. Your cofounders will smooth over some of the rough edges, but push hard on making sure you're aiming for product-market fit in a good market.

If not, you'll end up as the IT group for a consulting business. It's not a bad gig, but it's not the startup journey you've probably come to this website to talk about.
