I did play with adding the 1-bit NTT Docomo emojis, as well as the 1998 Softbank emojis, into LisaGUI (my 1-bit Lisa-themed web OS). The glyphs are at most 12 pixels squared, and fit comfortably with the existing Lisa typefaces I've added so far (although they appear vertically stretched when viewed in a 2:3 pixel aspect ratio). They are still not included and won't be until I devote some time to sorting out the slightly nightmarish shitshow that is parsing unicode emoji character sequences.
You seem very happy with your current situation. It sounds like you'd be taking a cut in your pay in exchange for much more work. There's a small chance of a large payout if they get bought out, but this is assuming the startup doesn't fail (as most do) and that you stay long enough to be there when it happens.
If they aren't willing to match your current salary and give you a much bigger slice of equity, I would decline the offer.
Can someone who personally knows John Ternus please send this essay to him? And can they do it immediately? (...and tell him to implement this business plan)
If the Supreme Court justices uphold this, I'm sending the ones who vote yes emails, each with an EULA dictating that by opening and reading the email they agree to send me 100% of their salaries in perpetuity, as well as an initial, single lump sum payment consisting of all their assets thrown into a trust in my own name. If they push back on it, well they shouldn't be so upset about something they agreed to in the first place.
What drives me crazy is Apple redesigned their weather app not so long after acquiring dark sky. I was anticipating a polished, updated version of Dark Sky's UI. Instead we have the current design, which is quite frankly terrible.
Everything is now re-consolidated under different media companies now. Instead of Ted Turner we have Larry Ellison, and Netflix, and Disney.
So I think the biggest question is, what form of entertainment will eventually supplant streaming services? Whatever it is (or will be) will almost certainly be disregarded by most people.
