I don't believe that. Apple charges $10/mo for 1TB of data. That's $120/yr. You can get 1TB drives commercially for under $50 these days, you'd need a bit more than 1 drive per user for reliability & sharding, but still. Not de-duplicating the data would clearly be profitable anyway.

Hetzner charges less than half of that for their storage solution, and that's without de-duplication[1].

Does decreasing the security of their users & not offering end-to-end encryption save them even more money? Sure, but I don't see how it couldn't be profitable without it, seeing as you can easily buy non-de-duplicated cloud storage for way less from other providers.

Yeah, the moderation there needs improvement. When ever I use it I almost have to spend as much time preempting invalid attempts to close my question as I do actually asking it.

Then there's also the conceit that SO has hit upon a definition of what a good technical question is (or, more specifically, what isn't a valuable technical question), and they stick to it despite any evidence to the contrary. I've seen questions that fail their over-restrictive criteria that have far better answers than many that do.
Serious question: How does Circle afford a $400 million price tag when they've only raised $135 million? Their main product seems to be a Venmo clone, complete with the lack of fees. Surely, they're not making that much money selling user data.
Perfect example. I guess at some point along the way the familiar tech startup narrative got peoples' minds to associate all startups with tech.

Makes me wonder where the line is. What qualifies a company as a tech company? Software/computing services/hardware as a primary revenue source?
Is that really what's going on in that picture?
Incredible writing; I was expecting a little more about sheep fighting itself, but still, a fantastic piece.
Apple has always had a strange relationship with analysts, but post Jobs they started to generate increasingly insane projections.

Part of the blame here is on Apple, they run an unusually secretive operation, where other companies would give a lot more in the way of guidance to help keep expectations more realistic.
I'd imagine that the lead time on getting the substation equipment is probably the longest for all of equipment inside a DC. Chillers, UPSs, generators, and breakers are probably not in as high demand or take as long to manufacture as a MV XFMR.
I am in my early 30s and have been using drugs recreationally since I was 11. Thank you for caring :) I appreciate it. I am a professional though, and I am comfortable with my current use. It has been toned down massively since I was younger, and become much safer and more careful. I do agree though that people should be careful. I don't advocate for wanton drug taking.

Really awesome idea! Excited to try this out.

> Working as full stack devs, we constantly had to do this translation by hand. It was our least favorite part of our jobs, since the creative work had already been done by the mockup designer. It's so repetitive and mechanical that we decided to stop hand-coding divs and css and write a program to do it instead

This is definitely repetitive and annoying, just to add another data point to your own. I think people fundamentally want excellent WYSIWYG tools, it's just that the implementation leaves a lot to be desired usually (e.g. Frontpage). Really glad to see someone take another swing at this.

Quick nitpick: One of the links on your homepage ("Learn more") is broken (https://documentation.pagedraw.io/worfklow, looks like it's missing a trailing slash)
So from the anecdotes in this thread, along with some people suggesting Apple use AWS/GCP/Azure for things....

I'm wondering if this is a capacity thing, or maybe a locality thing? It would make sense to use the cloud providers if you don't have a data centre in a nearby region of a user I guess
I think the IPO is coming in late, Dropbox had its prime time a few years back. I loved it back then, but now not so much and never use anymore.
Medical student here.

Used to drink tons of coffee. Sleep 4 hours a night, and micronap. Eventually realized that this was hurtin me long term when I found my memory becoming impaired. This only happened when I was in really intense study, so I feel like this thing won’t show for most people.

But I eventually changed my ways, stepped down from 4-6 cups a day to 1 cup in the morning, and I get 9.5 hours of sleep every night now.

I’m more productive, and healthier, and I know I can SUSTAIN this productivity. Sure, some of my classmates use adderall, others use cocaine... but I know that I’ll have better long term productivity and outlook than those people.
I don't think they want to mount anything on the walls, since it's a rental, but that does sound like a good idea. Smart bulbs seem kinda useless to me, but a three-way light switch with on/auto/off might actually be really nice.
You need escaping only when you're sending strings to a compiler (which is what you do when you do server-side rendering), and its a never ending source of bugs. You basically need to re-implement the entire logic of a full blown parser for the target language to guarantee successful escaping.

E.g. see `mysql_real_for_real_this_time_escape_string` versus just supporting parameterized queries. Parameters don't need to be escaped; they will never be interpreted as SQL code.

This list is also fun: https://gist.github.com/JohannesHoppe/5612274 - will your framework escape implementation cover all of them? Are you sure?

If you serve a static html (no templates) + css + JS (pre-compiled JSX templates) client with all dynamic content being served as e.g. JSON, you're getting rid of a large number of attack vectors from the start.

You are down to a handful of attributes, of which only dangerouslySetInnerHTML is a React-originating attack vector because similarly to all other template languages it sends a string to a compiler. It should probably be a symbol, too, especially now that we have spread syntax for props. https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/10506 - until then, you can simply forbid spread syntax for props and/or dangerouslySetInnerHTML.

Any other HTML attributes that have a string-to-compiler behaviour remain a problem, regardless of whether you are using jquery or react or whatever. (e.g. href). Its sad but for some of them the only recourse we have is escaping. Still, thats a huge improvement over escaping everything.

I remember your article. I hope it helps to have the ability to so beautifully render the tragedy that befell you in words.

I'm in tech. My first experience with drugs other than weed, which I just don't enjoy, happened relatively late. I was around 30 at the time when I joined friends of a friend taking MDMA at a club.

I have experienced chronic depression for as long as I can remember. I was rarely actually "sad", as one might think. I was simply experiencing most emotions through a sort of fog. The most troubling symptom has always been what one would just call "extreme laziness". Even though I frequently attempted all sorts of methods to motivate myself and acquire discipline, I always failed. Recently, I found a "contract" I made with myself when I must have been around 12 years old, specifying all sorts of activities such as sports, reading, and socialising to be completed on a schedule for certain rewards. Later, I sought help through the medical system. But even though I tried three different anti-depressants and two therapists, their valiant efforts failed to make a dent.

After three years of recreational drugs I cannot say that they are the answer to my problem. But it is certainly an experience that has helped me make some inroads. Much like learning to bike with training wheels, they gave me an appreciation of the range of emotions one can experience. Both exhilarating, all-forgetting thrill, as well as content serenity, were states I only knew from literature.

I've consumed MDMA, 2CB, LSD, Speed, and Ketamine. I'm staying away from Cocaine, all opiates, and GHB. I do consume speed at work. The enjoyment of working in a flow-like state is magnificent, although it comes with its own downsides, mostly a tendency to dive into time-wasting side-issues. Even though I have overdone it on multiple occasions, sometimes working for four days straight, I've have never had trouble not taking anything for a few weeks when I was travelling, or simply ran out. I've also almost completely stopped drinking alcohol.

I've been in a joyful relationship for the last five years, and we've used drugs to find previously unthought-of depts of sexual pleasure.
Vote with your money, a.k.a. boycott. do not support any product/service that contribute to climate change.

Aim for the level of life of a regular Indian citizen, or even better Bhutanese.

Invest in insulation of your home, learn survivalist skills (how to make a fire, make a shelter, grow food, treat disease, make medicine, etc.) prepare for a scenario where you have to live a nomadic on the go for a while, join a group of similar minded individual.

Or if you have the required kind of budget, follow the step of the ultra rich and buy yourself a piece of land in a remote place (new zealand is hot right now) and build yourself a bunker with enough ressources to live on your own for as long as necessary.

Basically you want to find a way to ride out the collapse of civilization and be equipped to rebuild afterwards.
I don't think that's true, though I fully admit there's some sample bias (including the fact that I'm senior, as croshan points out). I know a lot of people that do drugs, I had no trouble observing that when I was in grad school, and people talk to me quite a bit about life issues.
This may be true for many, but my history with stimulant usage was limited to coping with a lack of sleep. I'd work 70+ hours a week between two jobs and then still spend time working on freelance tech work to try and get out of fast food and pizza delivery. There were severe side effects, and even thinking of taking that crap again makes me feel a bit sick.

When they were trying to do more with Carousel & Mailbox is when things began to feel like they were losing site.

But Carousel was really consumer-focused, whereas Paper is clearly (presented as) a business tool. I think that they realized with Carousel that most Pro users use Dropbox for work, so that is where the money is.

As someone who also uses Dropbox for work, I think that they could make Dropbox even more attractive by adding some services. They should not try to compete heads-on with full office suite, but I can imagine that Paper + Calendaring + Chat could really be awesome for work.
I did not make assumptions about them. I talked about my experience with how this typically goes and the fact that I find this sort of comment very problematic.

It puts me in an incredibly awkward position because there is absolutely no good way for me to respond to it. If I publicly say yes and they actually help, there is a danger that this will become a running theme on the site. This would be a serious problem for me and for the moderators.

It's an inherently disrespectful way to handle the problem. The lack of real respect is one of the things that keeps certain classes of people trapped in poverty.

I have been commenting on my poverty on this site for years. I get lots of compliments on my writing here. I also get consistently told that trying to make a middle class income from my writing is a batshit insane deluded unrealistic desire.

If people genuinely respected me and genuinely cared, they could help me figure out how to turn my writing skill into a middle class income. I am not asking for charity here. I am asking to be taken seriously as someone who has a valuable skill that I would like to make a career out of. I can get no traction on finding a means to turn that into a middle class income. I have zero desire for my participation here to turn into some circus of me begging for money publicly. I see that as counter to my goal to get taken seriously and establish a career.

I also see that as a development that the mods would be fools to not ban me over. I have spent time as a moderator. That's a shitshow I would not tolerate in a community under my care.
The statement is sufficiently underspecified that it’s not falsifiable for any large company, which is my point.

If you dislike Goldman Sachs, you’re inclined to believe it. If you don’t dislike Goldman Sachs, you’re inclined to be more skeptical about it. The description is fully open to interpretation, which means believing it is a function of ideology and identity more than facts and reality.

Descriptions are only meaningful insofar as they help differentiate things. There is no precision in calling a giant financial company a vampiric squid. So what do we actually learn? It’s a total sideshow to a meaningful discussion about cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrency exchanges, the evolving role of traditional financial institutions in cryptocurrency trading, or the future legitimacy of digital currencies as an asset class.
I know it's a minor point, but Boston absolutely does not have the same weather as NYC. The winters are so much worse in Boston.

I'm a current NYC-er finding NYC too expensive to raise my family and the winter there is the only thing pulling me away from Boston, which is otherwise quite attractive.
I would speculate that it works similarly to most other mammals. Spikes of prostaglandin in the blood cause abortion via smooth muscle action and fluid production (or, if the embryo has developed to term, parturition rather than abortion). Prostaglandin is produced in the body cyclically. The corpus luteum releases progesterone that counteracts prostaglandin, but toward the end of the estrous cycle the CL degrades into an inert corpus albicans. Healthy implanted embryos release gonadotropin, which "stops the clock" for the CL so that it continues to produce progesterone. Eventually the placenta starts producing its own progesterone, and at that point the CL is no longer important. A dead or half-alive embryo is likely to produce neither gonadotropin nor progesterone, so it will be aborted and flushed on the next prostaglandin spike. The later this occurs in the pregnancy, the more stress is placed on the mother.

It's my impression that after implantation, this process is the same in humans as in other placental mammals. Thus menstruation might be more properly understood to be about flushing unimplanted zygotes rather than aborting unhealthy embryos.

Bitcoin Core 0.16.0 Public Release
Please highlight if you can how questions of brain health are often ignored exactly because people seem productive. Learning to do good work under too much stress and with too little sleep is a big part of the problem. We condition ourselves to get the work done, then compensate with drugs and alcohol. But since we're productive, the latter is not seen as a problem.

The pattern is repeating itself all over top universities and why rates of brain health concerns and suicides continue to remain high. Those maladaptive behaviors then carry over to workplaces.

Stress and sleep concerns are independently public health crises, and yet they are two sides of the same physiological coin - the autonomic nervous system. And of course, being high on stress makes sleeping that much more difficult.
> For starters, cryptocurrency exchanges need to know the crypto they trade with VERY well. It's an area where the law won't help you if you mess up. If someone steals a bunch of bitcoin from your exchange, a police report isn't going to get it back, it's gone for good.

With good KYC regulation and enforcement many "hacks" can be mitigated. The Bitgrail hack, for example, was performed by customers taking advantage of shitty code. Presumably they know which accounts withdrew funds, but if they knew who the customers were that belonged to those accounts, they could go after them. This stuff is a big reason why I support exchanges being regulated as money transmitters.
Its the same on X64, although I think its better documented/understood on that platform.

When I was a kid I'd play with toys (Tinker Toys, erector sets, Construx, etc.) for hours in a squatting position. My parents thought it was really strange that I could do that for so long.

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable doing that now, but getting into the "third world squat" position is easy and natural for me still. I guess I should do that more before I can't.
If I recall correctly, Mozilla thought so too and recently disabled scripts in direct SVG navigation and data: URIs in recent versions of Firefox.

Sounds like you want Dropbox.

My personal use case involves files stored on a NAS, which is accessible via VPN and any client with a file browser (so, basically every platform). NAS is backed up via rclone to cloud storage. Its not sync, but I dont really want files synced to all my devices.
There must a misunderstanding. I was asking supporting evidence that Apple ran its own storage. This is evidence that Apple is using storage service from other companies.
> Modern education is very careful to remove any trace of unorthodox viewpoints from its pantheon of scholars.

It's not just modern education/history. It's said that history is written by people who either love or hate someone or some event. Also, history has innate biases of the writer. It's why we focus primarily on western history while arabs, indians, chinese, etc have their own version of history. All history throughout history is peppered with half truths and embellishments or sometimes outright propaganda.

> I never knew Newton was a staunch Arian before today, much like how I never knew that Pythagoras was a strict vegetarian, or that Socrates had a hatred of democracy

Or how columbus was an absolute genocidal butcher along with being a great discoverer. Or how genghis khan and the mongols were extremely cosmopolitan/egalitarian/merciful as well as been brutal conquerors. Or how the soviet union was at the forefront of the workers, lgbt, women's rights movement while being a horrific totalitarian nightmare. Or how Mao united a divided and brutalized china and freed china from european colonization while also starving tens of millions of chinese.

Depending on where you grow up and what history you are taught, you'll only see a particular snapshot. It's only when you make the effort yourself that you get to see the larger picture rather than the one framed by others.
I identify with this so much. I grew up a single child to a single mom. She did her best but there was never any "saving". She didn't have a savings account, she had nothing. So now that I'm older my first priority is saving money, which is why I'm in less debt in comparison to my peers I think. I spend a lot, but I do it in intervals, and my goal is to eventually learn how to invest. I think most people my age take to the importance of investing too much, and abstract away the savings because they think they will be investing in the future.

I don't think about money at all either. I realize it's important, but it's importance has never consumed me. If I don't think about it, I actually spend less. If I think about it, I totally panic. I've saved money by not thinking about it.

I also have trouble eating! I just buy a week's worth of food at a time, twice a month, so typically I have only two week's worth of food per month, and that results in about 2 meals per day-- small ones. Sometimes I don't eat at all because of my appetite issues. I just take multivitamins to supplement those days, as well as extra Vitamin D3 and Magnesium.
