Certainly a flaw in Dropbox, but one that can be easily worked around I think. Don't put the .pst directly in the Dropbox folder. Instead set up a scheduled task/cron job to copy it into Dropbox every few hours.

The Outlook .pst file plays notoriously bad with backup and synching in my experience. I set up CrashPlan for a family member once, and when I followed up a few weeks later it hadn't backed anything up in weeks because it was stuck on the .pst. In this case it was because the .pst was so huge and kept changing so frequently. By the time it had been uploaded for off-site backup, then it had changed and CrashPlan would start uploading it again. CrashPlan wasn't smart enough to prioritize other files in between, probably because it puts the most recently changed files in front of the queue or something.
Let's play a game.
First, assume you're correct and these soil issues really exist.
I'm sure there are entities who have a short or long term interest to not do anything about it.

For example, somebody might be selling land (because they know such issues will get worse in the future), and if farming will be prohibited, they will get a worse price for the land. Hence best to deny, or at least question the existence of soil problems.

If these entities have a lot of money, they can create their own journals and publish science that says "there is no problem with the soil". They can also bribe scientists and reviewers with high status. They can lobby politicians. And lastly, the media can be caught too, you have to frame it as a political issue so you have 50% of the media in your pocket.

Now look at it from a politician's point of view. If you really get the signal that it's not a real problem, then it certainly doesn't make sense to spend resources on it.

Incremental namespace refactoring for large code base
I would encourage you to journal. It will help you to put language to your strong emotions and work out things that are troubling you. I wouldn't even worry about being coherent at first -- just try to get out all of the things you're feeling and why. It generally helps to do this in a quiet place.

Other folks have mentioned therapy / counseling -- which I highly recommend as well. I've gone to a marriage counselor with my wife for years and plan on doing it for the rest of my life (albeit only every 2-3 months now). You can take your notes to a therapist and make your sessions more productive.

Other folks have suggested switching jobs -- which might be a good idea. If you do have to switch jobs, you'll be able to make a more informed decision about what works (and doesn't work) for you in a work environment.

I found it noteworthy that Amazon Drive announced their unlimited plan on the very same day that Microsoft announced that they were discontinuing their own on OneDrive.

Books? E-books take no space. Public library has vast storage on your behalf, free.

Bed? Futons are small. Air mattress rolls up tiny. Elevate a regular bed and all that space is available again.

Computer? Notebooks fold up to nearly nothing.

Clothes? 3-4 outfits fold to 1 cubic foot.

Kitchen? Hot plate and nesting pots take another cubic foot max.

Washing machine? Laundromat, or sink & clothesline.

Storage? Under other things, or hang from ceiling. Don't need much.

We're talking urban, not rural, so many services are normally available covering anything lacking for space.

Even if rural, note that some people go on 2000 mile backpacking trips, taking 6 months, carrying all their stuff totaling just 20-30 pounds.

Answers to likely responses: "just use a different cloud service": on iOS, for cloud backups, there are no alternatives: it's iCloud or nothing.

Moreover, in the case of Apple this could actually be productive. They have been pushing the privacy angle. Let's not forget that this is the company that pushed out end-to-end encrypted chats to tens (hundreds?) of millions of users before Whatsapp did it.

If Apple offered this option, this would be a boon to tens of millions of people, which is far more productive than a few experts moving to relatively obscure alternatives.

How it works depends on the state because a lot of Republican governors wanted to stick it to Obama and poor people by not expanding Medicaid as intended under the ACA.

That said, the Medicaid expansion definitely puts people on Medicaid! That's a big part of the reason why it's politically suicidal to repeal the ACA.

I'd never heard of the native South American language Aymara - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aymara_language.

It seems fair to say a language with c. 3M speakers is "going out of one's way" though.

Presumably (all?) other native American languages have words for steeped drinks not derived from "tea" too.

FWIW, especially in North England, en-gb has the word "brew" for a hot, steeped, drink (http://etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=br...) which predates the bringing of tea to the UK.

True enough. Both the US and USSR benefitted from raiding foreign talent as well as from taking in sympathizers to our/their ideologies. Fortunately we got some of the best, however, we did not have a right to them. It was circumstance, a good circumstance for us. Better would have been that it had been unnecessary to acquire the talent in order to win wars, prevent further suffering and vanquish miserable ideologies.

Interestingly, we didn't raid Japan for talent so much and maybe that contributed to their post war performance.
>Although it remains to be seen what, if any, legislation they will actually enact if they get in

This is the key point, there is quite a lot of scaremongering on the internet and in the media. To me it looks extremely unlikely we will get anything that will result in damage to our ability to do business from within the UK.
This does not necessarily imply that the data is unencrypted at rest. The query tool or the query backend could handle decryption seamlessly. S3 offers similar encryption at rest that is invisible to authorized requesters. If the story was that someone raided an Apple data center, stole hard drives, and leaked customer data, then we would have reason to assume that.
Then neither is tax avoidance.
The counterargument is that increased layers of bureaucracy is also expensive, possibly more expensive. And we already have byzantine regulations, so it's not all that much of a downside.

And, at the end of the day, we can talk to our city councilmen about the unfairness of complicated regulations. And cities can brag about their simple and fair legal systems to get people to want to move there.

I have the same problem. I basically use Dropbox as my work folder and put all my files in there. As a developer I have millions of small files. It takes 2-3 weeks to sync the dropbox from scratch (currently 285gb of dropbox files). And my CPU is regularly pegged at 100%. I basically have to switch Dropbox off when I'm not plugged into power on my Macbook Pro in order to conserve battery. I've contacted support several times, and their response was basically "don't".

I'm on one of their top plans (2TB). What's the point in having such large plans when the number of files you have causes the whole service to break down?

Been searching for a good alternative to Dropbox. Something that would be CPU efficient, safe, secure and reliable. I also use their packrat plan (saves a history of every file ever), which is nice too.

Any other HN readers have any alternatives? I really just want a plug and play solution, and not have to roll my own.

I don't trust Apple iCloud for one bit as they've been quite inept at running cloud services. I've tried Google drive with poor results too.
It's frustrating to watch cloud companies subsidize their storage, in order to break into the market with a product that is too good to be true.

This strategy is the worst possible scenario for our entire industry. Users feel slighted, and the trustworthiness of the cloud in general is gradually eroded, as the scenario plays itself out over and over.

It feels like ransomware. Pay more or we'll delete your files.

When Dropbox for Business launched, it was $12.50 / user / month for "all the storage you need". Just recently Dropbox announced pricing changes, which will take effect in 2018. The new unlimited plan is $20.00 / user / month. And for those unwilling to pay, there's now a fixed storage tier, which is slightly cheaper than the original price, but it's capped at 1 TB.

Microsoft OneDrive included unlimited storage with any Office 365 subscription. After millions of users bought in, Microsoft dropped the maximum storage to 1 TB. Users were then given the choice of deleting their files, or moving elsewhere.

Mozy had an unlimited plan, and then dropped it and raised prices. SugarSync had an unlimited plan, but eventually dropped it.

Barracuda offered virtually unlimited cloud storage with their Copy.com service. A few years in and Barracuda shut down the entire service. Users were given very little notice, and had to move elsewhere.

Bitcasa, one of the original "unlimited" cloud storage providers (and a TechCrunch Disrupt Battlefield finalist) crashed and burned three years in. Again, users were given very little notice, and there was talk of a class-action lawsuit.

Time and time again we're seeing startups burn through their capital subsidizing the storage as some sort of brilliant marketing plan. It's not.

I personally switchef from Xbox do PS with this generation. I know others that did too.

It doesn't take that many people swapping platforms to make a huge difference in marketshare percent. I.e. if it was 40 % for each, 10% swapping makes it 30% vs 50%. And then at some point developers would skip cross platform for the smaller console and the gains will steamroll.

Unclear how hard Microsoft will push xbox. It's obviously not the core business but its a fairly big division.

I wouldn't use steganography (it's not normally very space-efficient), just dump the payload data into a PNG's comment field. You can do this with exiftool "-Comment<=/path/to/inputfile" dummy.png and re-extract it with exiftool -b -Comment dummy.png > recovered_file. Of course you'd use libpng directly in a FUSE filesystem, but this shows that it's easy enough. Use a 20kB cat picture and 2 MB payload and you achieve 99% space efficiency.

It's probably inconvenient enough for most data hoarders for Amazon not to care. You can still switch to encoding it in the pixel values in case they do. I'm not familiar enough with PNG to comment on the space-efficiency of that.

If the grocery store supply chain falls apart, it is unlikely you will be able to get any food from afar for the same reason (or, at very least, the people normally performing the deliveries will be too hungry to provide delivery service). Local farms are going to want to hang onto their production for themselves now that they have no other food source.

Realistically, that leaves the food you are growing yourself. 1/3 of your normal intake does sound like a struggle already, but to compound the difficulties, you have to ensure that you have the food available when you need it which is more complex than setting up a garden. Not impossible, but certainly a lost art. I'm not sure it really is feasible to expect many to follow through with this.
