I've been using Evernote for years and it's great. Everything is in notebooks/subnotebooks AND tags. Their search is great. I mostly store technical how-to's and notes on books I'm reading and subjects I'm learning. Their UI is great and a joy to browse the notes... I did try Roam and I get the promise of bi-directional Nirvana but so far just for productivity and getting stuff done.. Evernote is just fine... shrug

Had a similar problem with feeling betrayed by authority figures when I was called in to be questioned about a hacking incident while in middle school just because I was good at VB in programming glass. Can really ruin a kid's confidence for years to come in case anyone in such position is reading this now.

Exactly, from radiation to muscle loss - humans are simply not meant to live in space. BUT - it doesn't mean we won't eventually, especially if forced off Earth due to some human made or natural catastrophy. Humans may need to evolve for space living though. It may take many generations of evolution and adaptation and natural selection.

In 2050s they'll look at today's smart phone selfies and wonder why people liked these smooth skin auto glamour edited fakes so much. Then the androids will chuckle to themselves and move on.

Them: There seems to have been a misunderstanding. We thought it was clear that we'll be equal partners in this startup. You get 3% equity which is MORE than generous given that this is my life's dream I'm sharing with you (here's a 5yr NDA btw restricting you from working anywhere else in the same industry for that duration of time). So go ahead and start asap. We have all the ideas and you do all the coding, for free, this is called skin in the game. Then after the product works we'll all make lots of money! That's why none of us take any salary. We all work. Us by providing ideas and you by coding hard and giving 110%. Also please sign here stating that you are not an employee but a contractor, even though we'll call you an employee and treat you as such.
