Is the Dropbox plan to be a better-than-the-default sync provider, something you purchase in addition to the Google Cloud or Office 365 subscription?

I've been thinking that it will be hard for Dropbox to grow alone, but I would have expected them to establish closer ties with companies offering complementary services. I see Google Cloud as a quite straight competitor for Dropbox. Teaching Dropbox customers to use services like Google Docs might be risky.

I don't think you understand what feudalism was/is...
Stupid question: I thought it was accepted practice [1] to generate the private key server-side so long as you don't store after the user's downloaded it? (Not that Trustico followed that part either.)

[1] though not something I would endorse!
Just for reference, feudal lords didn't have wages. If it was discovered that you worked for money, you were basically expelled from aristocratic society.

Thanks for reading and for your advice!

I like your analogy about Venezuela and Denmark. : )

I do think they have a point. Throughout this process I've continually tried to consciously avoid a "grass is always greener" mentality and recognize that starting my own company will have difficult challenges as well. So I appreciate the feedback from both sides.

That said, Indie Hackers is filled with stories of people who left corporate jobs and found greater satisfaction in their own companies, so I think it varies by person and requires some luck. I'd like to see what happens regardless.
Your milages vary, but in my case:

* 2012 rMacBook Pro 15": a major GPU defect found just as the 1-yr manufacturer's warranty ran out. Had to pay $300+ for repair although it was clearly a manufacturer's fault. After a threat of class-action lawsuit -- there were similar class-action lawsuits in motion for older MacBooks models made in 2007, 2009, 201x as well -- Apple started a repair/recall program in 2014 and they refunded my repair cost.

* 2 x iBooks in my college days: none of them lasted longer than 1 year; all failed due to some hardware problems.

* iPhone 3GS: didn't know how laggy it was until I upgraded to the 4Gs. Oneplus 5T is my current phone, with Samsung Note 3 as backup -- which was used for 4 years.

* 1999 Dell Inspiron: in service for 6 years and still usable. dropped it several times on concrete floor. Virtually indestructible, but I wanted to get a new hardware (see my 2 x iBooks). Required no repair or replacement despite heavy use; in my Manhattan mini-storage now.

* 2008 Dell Inspiron: cost $350 (with some special offer from Discover Card) and used it until I got my 2012 rMacBook. Virtually indestructible; required no repair or replacement; still running and my backup laptop.

Based on my experience, Dell XPS 15" is going to be my next workhorse.

As far as smartphones are concerned, many years ago before his death, Steve Jobs claimed to have "cracked" the integrated TV business, but Apple decided not jump into it -- because their product lifespan is too long, especially compared to iPhone's 2-yr short lifespan. The iPhone's 2 year short lifespan in turn was in large part determined by 2 year contract subsidies in the US. Likewise, you see in Horace's second graph that the iPhone lifespan increased as US carriers phased out 2 year-contract subsidized model in favor of monthly payments with no subsidy. I'm very disinclined to believe that Apple's QC improved so much in the past 4 years that the iPhone's lifespan nearly tripled and, contrary to a few fanboi's anecdotal stories about Apple's stellar hardware QC, I'm willing to bet a few pennies that the overall lifespan trend holds the same for other phone manufacturers as well.

In short, I think it's mostly it's mobile carriers' subsidy (or lack thereof) that changed consumers' buying habit and iPhone lifespan, not Apple's super durable hardware or quality control.
This problem was likely better served by many smaller systems that better fit the specific needs.

Government is way too complex to try to cram all rules into a single monolith like Oracle's PeopleSoft.

There have been several papers that show the US is last in income mobility while having other papers show it's in the top 3. Suffice to say there is no consensus.

Also, measuring mobility by income quintiles is challenging as quintiles aren't the same across countries. You could move from 1st to 4th income quintile in one country and have a higher wage than some moving from 1st to 5th in another country.

You have to go to boutique retailers to get files that are anywhere near the quality of commercially-available CDs. And while subscription models may be common that doesn't make them pro-consumer, the right thing to do, or even a good idea.
That kinda depends on which version of feudalism we are talking about. They were not same.

Nevertheless, feudal Lords did competed among each other and parent talked about competition not about wage.
Probably not. IBM will return a token amount of money so politicians save face. Someone might take the revolving door either direction.
This is in keeping with a long term trend in which the standard of living for the median American has been allowed to stagnate for a long time. The male median wage has been stagnant or declining since 1973. This was previously discussed on Hacker News:

> Is it really $99 total?

$99 is the cost with no insurance; with insurance they bill and you pay your normal copay. $99 is probably less than their average reimbursement.

> That's cheaper than driving and a copay.

If you have really high cost of driving, have poor insurance, or are comparing it to average urgent care copays instead of primary/specialist office visits (IIRC, copays for primary average around $25 and specialist around $40; $60-75 seems improbably high transport cost for most people to drive to a doctor, even with non-free parking), sure. But unless appointment availability is really high, it's going to be higher latency, on average, than urgent care, and in any case it seems necessarily to be less well equipped than most urgent care facilities (meaning you are more likely to need to go somewhere else and be seen after your visit when using it as an urgent care.)
It's really easy to spot with classical music (muddy bass and treble) or tracks with really shimmery high-end (like lots of hats and cymbals). Basically anything that stresses the encoder
In 1992 for my final pre-exams deliverable at uni I wrote the entire program text (in Pascal) out on pen and paper overnight, fuelled by cheap lager and Red Bull. Queued at the door waiting for the lab to open in the morning, then typed the lot in and was delighted to discover not only no syntax errors, but no bugs. Ran it, took a few screenshots, printed them and the listing, delivered it to my tutor and went to the pub.

To this day I swear by pen and paper — not for actual code any more, but most specs/designs/flowcharts/pseudocode, and absolutely all meeting and personal notes. I highly value the focus which comes from not being distracted by the quality/features/font/customisation/whatever of some device/app/workflow du jour.
I think it works much better for contacts. You have to verify contact once and then you are assured that it's still the same person.

Tulip | https://tulip.co/careers | Boston, MA | Full time | Onsite

Do you want to help build the factory of the future and realize the next industrial revolution?

Tulip is transforming manufacturing processes by bringing the latest technological advances from the lab to the back office to the shop floor. Whereas most factories are still using state of the art technology from the mid 19th century, we come from the future to bring them a rich, realtime web app, modern tablets, IoT systems, in-depth analytics, and more.

We're a small team, but we have multiple Fortune 500 customers and are enabling production lines building things you interact with everyday. We're in a strong growth mode! We closed a $13M Series A about a year ago (http://tcrn.ch/2qYvsoN), we are bringing on new customers, scaling up our existing customers' deployments, and, most relevantly, hiring across the team!

We'd love to talk to anyone interested, but in particular we are looking to bring folks on in:

- Web Development: React+Redux frontend, NodeJS+Mongo+Postgres+Redis backend, syncing data with Meteor, delivering useful, real-time experiences in the browser and on Electron

- Application Engineering: Bridging the gap between our platform's capabilities and what our customers need. Device integration, reverse-engineering, web development, and lots of time on factory floors understanding our customers' operations

- IoT/Embedded Software: delivering a reliable, extensible HW platform across arm and x86, all manner of bus/IO tech

- Data & Pipeline Engineering: planning, implementing, and finding insights with our next generation of process & sensor analytics

- SRE/DevOps: Kubernetes-admin, scalable monitoring across the firewall, hybrid cloud/on-prem deployment

Using DoorDash or UberEats as your delivery service instead of building your delivery staff in-house is like using AWS or DO instead of building your own in-house ops team. Since most delivery workflows are pretty much identical (go to restaurant, pick up food, deliver food), it seems like any restaurant other than a "typical delivery" place would benefit from using someone else's infrastructure.
Flow algorithms tend to handle this case (and other perfect cases too) more reasonably as they see a choke as a path with low carrying capacity and avoid it ahead of time. (If you're smart and the required carrying capacity is related to size of unit ball.)

The trouble is how to dynamically adjust weights. That is path following and reaction part which is quite outside the purview of path finding algorithms other than that they have to work in an online manner.
Fair is not the default
No, that's not what I said. I'm arguing for the same thing you are. But income inequality isn't itself a problem if there is mobility between the income groups. They statistics in the Bloomberg article show income inequality but don't show lack of mobility, and then say we've hit "a disturbing new threshold".

There may be lack of mobility along with income inequality, but the article doesn't demonstrate it.
As another comment points out: If you are trying to sell your DDoS services "Hey watch me bring down github" is a pretty powerful sales tool.

Why should we care the reason people make their choices? What if I like surfing, so I decide to work part time which allows me to surf more? Does my skin color or gender matter? If I want to participate in this "surf culture," why would you feel the need to either force me to work more or demand that others subsidize my surfing habit?
Would like to see this as well.
