Dropbox's new client is absolutely terrible - an in-your-face resource hog trying to upsell constantly. But from a reliability perspective, Dropbox is absolutely great as long as you don't let it trick you into enabling their automatic offloading "feature" (hello corrupt all-NUL files!).

But of the main choices, the quality/reliability ordering really is: dropbox, icloud drive, one drive, anything else and then google drive. So I'd like a good alternative to DB that is at least as good as icloud drive (which is not a high bar).

> But didn't the creation of private money happen because gold was so expensive to hold and transport?

No.

1. There was creation of state and of private money, or money-of-sorts, in societies where money wasn't based on gold.

2. If transport and holding was the issue, private money could have been limited to the amount of available gold.

No, that's really not the reason.
The 40s through the late 60s were also the era of the Holocaust, the Indonesian Genocide, and the Serbian Genocide. Did Bretton Woods cause those too? Or can we agree that maybe a lot of things that happened during the 40s through 60s weren't caused by Bretton Woods?

I think it's much more likely that the desirable properties of crypto-currencies will be baked into government issued psudo-coins that retain the desirable parts of bitcoin while discarding the inconvenient parts. The only people who hate on fiat money are people who don't understand why backed currencies suck or why it would be bad if every country used the same currency. What doesn't suck though is money that essentially tracks itself and baking that self-tracking feature into an existing fiat currency via some kind of pseudo-coin would make regulatory enforcement wildly easier without the downsides of a backed currency.
When I read the recommended response in thread you linked, I just feel like they're acknowledging the feature doesn't exist and suggesting to use Send Feedback as a potential avenue to increase the chance that the feature gets implemented. It may be that important features are missing, but I don't think the forum mods can do anything about that and the reply didn't seem rude to me.
I mean, it's also not clear that mothers are necessarily the best people to be raising children either, given that being a mother and being trained in childcare are not the same thing.

From the Quebec study:

> For those kids who are in Quebec’s public programs, known as centres de la petite enfance (CPEs), “repeated studies have found sharp improvements in child development,” Fortin said. This accounts for about one-third of Quebec’s children in care right now.

Now the problem is scaling up good childcare to the other two thirds.

Other than this I don't really see how you would put the genie back in the bottle for women juggling childcare with employment, without also screwing over women who want both or don't want children.
There are also huge swathes of the world where nobody has credit cards or bank accounts. This isn't an argument for Bitcoin as much as it is for physical currency

As an SEO, I’m embarrassed how accurate the comments in this thread are. I’ve had this conversation with with peers but the search results are utter trash and it makes me feel bad to be part of it, finding good information is so hard.

Until Algos get smart enough to understand text at a deeper level we will not get anywhere.

We really need more competition. I know Apple gets billions from google for being the default search but if they were to buy DDG which results are mostly goof enough, they’d be a viable competitor. Until something big like that happens, Google will continue to be below average
Did companies ever consider remote work desirable in the first place? Outside of the few poster ones (e.g. twitter), I'm pretty sure 99% of companies were never on board with the idea of long term remote work.
This could be because Google may outsource everything, especially their customer service, and so you’re essentially communicating with a call center in another country that has no incentive to be nice.
> The way it is going is renewable at the base of the stack and dispatchable power filling in the gaps, be that during peak or periods of low renewable output.

Very good idea to run gas plants with 490 grams CO2 per kWh instead of nuclear power plants with 12 grams CO2 per kWh, indeed.

France produces 50 grams of CO2 per kWh while Germany has 400 grams on average:

Your ideal model for producing electricity actually hurts the environment as the times where gas plants need to run are much more often than you think.
IMHO Google drive is one of the worst service of Its kind in the market. Copying, moving duplicating files is as complex and blunt as it could be. Folder duplication doesn’t exist. I’m actually not surprised that sharing is still not fixed. Look at Meet. A service that only after being absolutely beaten by Zoom received some attention. They’re working on bringing Plus back in the form of Currents, but you still cannot stop people from sharing file with you in Google drive...

It is shocking to me how much Reddit had declined since ~2016, at least from my perspective. Maybe I just am not remembering it correctly, but I don't think there was nearly as many blatantly false articles, echo chambers, posts praising hate groups, etc. on the front page back then. Even subreddits like /r/pics have been taken over with constant misleading political posts.

> written in a simple, safe way in Haskell

Steady on! You posed a question and I gave an answer. You weren't
happy with that answer. I think it's a bit premature to conclude that
"this function can't be written in a simple, safe way in Haskell".

> as the article I linked claims, Haskell's type system can't encode the type of the cl_map function.

Could you say where you see that claim in the article? I can see
three mentions of "Haskell" in the body, two of them mentioning that
one researcher's particular implementation doesn't handle this case,
but not a claim that it can't be done.

> Note that the type of cl_map is perfectly static. It would be `Integer
N => (a_0 ->... a_N -> r) -> [a_0] ->... [a_N] -> [r]` assuming some fictitious syntax.

OK, fine, it's a bit clearer now what you are looking for. How about this:

> cl_map (uncurry (+)) ([1,2,3], [4,5,6])
[5,7,9]
> cl_map (+3) [1,2,3]
[4,5,6]
> let max3 (x, y, z) = x `max` y `max` z
> cl_map max3 ([1,2], [3,4], [5,6])
[5,6]

Notice that the function arguments are have different,
statically-known types! The type of this miracle function?

cl_map :: Default Zipper a b => (b -> r) -> a -> [r]

And the implementation?

-- Type definition
newtype Zipper a b = Zipper { unZipper :: a -> ZipList b } deriving Functor

-- Instance definition
instance a ~ b => D.Default Zipper [a] b where def = Zipper ZipList

-- These three instances are in principle derivable
instance P.Profunctor Zipper where
dimap f g = Zipper . P.dimap f (fmap g) . unZipper

instance Applicative (Zipper a) where
pure = Zipper . pure . pure
f <*> x = Zipper (liftA2 (<*>) (unZipper f) (unZipper x))

instance PP.ProductProfunctor Zipper where
purePP = pure
(****) = (<*>)

Given that the only two lines that actually matter are

newtype Zipper a b = Zipper { unZipper :: a -> ZipList b } deriving Functor
instance a ~ b => D.Default Zipper [a] b where def = Zipper ZipList

and the rest are boiler plate that could be auto-derived, I think this
is pretty satisfactory. What do you think?
The wages and costs of train drivers are pretty insignificant in the costs of running the London Underground, so tiny a percentage of the running costs, yet people focus on them because they earn a relatively good wage (how dare they have a pension that might keep them fed in their retirement!

s/tool/ponzi scheme/... or in other words - I am entirely unconvinced that bitcoin has a positive short-term effect.

> I personally feel with solar prices so cheap renewable power is a solved problem what market is waiting for is batteries to get cheap enough.

Germany consumes 1.6 TWh of electricity per day. The battery of a Tesla S has 100 kWh. So you will need to charge 16 million Tesla S batteries to provide the electricity of Germany for just one day.

Good luck trying to implement that.

That’s a failure on Google’s part. If feedback forum mods can’t also influence the roadmap, that’s a missed opportunity.

Even if it’s as simple as having 50 votes on the bug tracker, there should be some way for forum mods to synthesize and share feedback to the dev team for what to build.

I personally hate how there’s never a feedback loop on these posts noting how a change was made. Microsoft is pretty bad about this too.

“Please submit a suggestion” is a really unsatisfying experience to a user. Especially for really basic functions. Especially when not implementing makes the company money.

But who are these people that are (I presume) working for free to fill in the lack of existence of Google support teams?
In the past I've been very isolated because of health issues which kept me in bed for months at a time, and I've thought a lot about how to make friends online. I've come to the following conclusions:

1) You need a common topic of interest to start the spark of friendship, something that keeps you coming back and gives you an excuse to speak to each other and unending content to speak about.

2) You need to force yourself to check up on them daily to weekly about that topic.

3) You need them to be interested in forming a new friendship (it's a lot of work for both parties involved, not everyone cares to extend their circle of friends or to form online friendships).

4) You need chemistry.

5) Things are a lot easier if you belong to a small online community where people know each others.

Among these 5 requirements, (2,3,5) are irrelevant to your problem of matching people.

Requirement (1) you can provide through hobbies/interests card and clustering somewhat easily with the current system.

Requirement (4) I don't know what it is, or what makes it work. With some people it just won't click. I know it's not because of opposite political beliefs, or lack of common interests, because I have friends which are counter-examples for those potential failure cases. I think it has to do with personality, similar thought patterns (not beliefs) or something like that. The categories you mention could be a path towards quantifying that but you'd want them to be soft-indicators because again people with opposite political beliefs, or senses of humour can be great friends. So I don't really know in the end.

Have you looked at online dating research? I bet there's some smart people who worked on compatibility indicators for these kind of applications.

No. The core of good product management is making decisions that make your product so attractive to users that they get their friends and coworkers to use it, too.

Sometimes that means minimalism. Sometimes it means that you have ease of use. Sometimes you realize that your users are actually not your customers, and you need to make the product attractive to the customers, not the users. That way lies madness and enterprise sales.

If you're trying to pivot this to a place where I'll concede that AGPL is a good thing, you're wasting energy, because I already think AGPL is a good thing. I'm not making this point about contracts because I'm motivated to talk down AGPL; I'm doing it because, in my experience over the last 15 years, it has definitely not been the case that companies are comfortable entering into arbitrary contracts. It's just not true.

This is off topic but it reminds me, every time I look for some Windows 10 problem, it mostly leads to some Microsoft forum (answers.microsoft.com). In there however, the questions systematically get answered by a billion "MSFT specialist consultants #not working for MSFT", and it always weirds me out. Are these people there for self promotion, for the thrill of it or is it MSFT that has some reward system for third parties to participate? I know helpful strangers is nothing new to the internet, I guess I'm just weirded out because there's never an official answer on MSFT's official forum and these sorts of questions are not really the sort of "playful" puzzles one might encounter helping strangers on SO/Reddit/Discord.

I think that for the majority of people throughout history, numbers were inseparable from numerals, i.e. notation for numbers. This would explain why people are far more comfortable with the notion of real numbers (which despite their name are very very strange in a lot of ways) than imaginary and complex numbers. Even their names betray the difference. However, one has a common notation that everyone has learned whereas the other has a more confusing and less well-known notation.

Therefore I think ancient arguments over whether 0 is a number (and acceptance thereof) are representative of a greater paradigmatic shift, similar in essence to the arguments over whether the square root of -1 is truly a "number."

Viewed that way 0 is the first step in a journey of an understanding of numbers from purely counting discrete entities, to abstract parts of computation.

So basically I would posit that it is in fact a great conceptual leap (just as the negative numbers are) that only seems like an obvious fluke of notation when every schoolchild has learned it.
