I'm not sure how that's fair. Should they also adjust your salary based on how expensive your car is? The value you provide to them remains constant despite where you choose to live. Why should you be punished for living somewhere less desirable? Presumably part of the reason you would choose to live in a less expensive location is so you can save more money. This to me seems like they're pocketing money that should rightfully be the employees.

Living in the UK, the thought of the UK potentially withdrawing from the EU is terrifying - so many of the complaints about the EU are about areas where the EU are interfering in absolutely awful attempts by UK politicians to restrict peoples rights.

It's even worse when they complain about things that are independent of the EU, but still blame the EU, such as which often happens with decisions from the European Court of Human Rights.

I'd love to use Dropbox again, but ethically cannot as long as Rice is still on the board.
Great move. Brings pricing on bar with Google Drive, Microsoft One Store and probalbly the upcoming iCloud Drive.

I wonder if they still keep everything on Amazon S3. I'm sure most users will not fill up the Terabyte, but still S3 costs 330USD per Terabyte per year (not including costs for outbound traffic) (http://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/).
I'd much prefer 500GB for the same price that I can use to share our collected documents with one or two people in my immediate family without having to pay for the same space again for each of them. Dropbox for Business is too expensive, Dropbox Pro is too individual.

Dropbox Family, please!
Not arguing if this statement is right or wrong, but I think you should know that your phrase is highly controversial and the beginning of thousands flame wars through the internet. Maybe you should avoid it unless it is completely relevant to the topic at hand.
I think I got mine for $50 on contract. But, I have since switched to a cheaper monthly plan that does not subsidize phones. So, my next phone will definitely be unlocked in the $200-400 range. T-mobile is really changing the mobile landscape in the US (for the better, in my opinion). But, this also means that the "real" price of phones will be more apparent.
I believe that the benefit of my choice to live in a low-cost area should accrue to me. If the company really believes in a remote workforce, they should pay based on value to the company. I am also saving the company on rent and probably some office-only benefits.

In general, they pay the high-cost-of-living person more because they won't take the job otherwise -- you could also not take the job otherwise.

You will have a harder time finding this, and it's a lot easier if you have the skills to back it up. You have to be as productive as an in-office employee and constantly make sure that is understood.

Staff misunderstanding of Internet led to 250,000 websites being blocked
My solution to that is to open http://example.com/ (instead of, e.g. Google) after connecting to Wi-Fi. It doesn't use SSL (so it works) and I have little use for it the rest of the time (so if the Firefox DNS cache gets messed up, it doesn't matter).

They are stupid because they don't have a supplier that they can trust nor do they have the information to distinguish the 'real' stuff from stuff that will make them simply ill or even (rare, fortunately) kill them.

The fact that it is decriminalized does not mean that people won't be trying to take advantage of you.

Buying drugs is not quite buying a bottle of Sprite, it typically does not come in a container with a brand name on it and as a tourist you won't be hanging around long enough to work out which connections you can trust and which to stay away from. The person selling it to you just wants your money, once. For a repeat buyer the risks would go down considerably.

Feel free to ignore any and all of the above. We're off-topic far enough as far as I'm concerned, if you feel that buying drugs abroad in one-off cash transactions does not carry significant risk then I'm perfectly ok with that.
Have you switched to an alternative?
Yes. Thank you.

The Eternal September seems to crop up in every close-knit community that grows exponentially. I am not aware of a solution to it.
What do you use instead of Dropbox?
The problem I have with Dropbox along with all the other solutions is that I don't know of any way to do trust no one encryption including file names other then a massave truecrypt volume. If anyone knows a solution for this on either Windows or Linux I'd like to know about it.
Glad to see permissions for shared files. We set up a shared folder for all of our family to upload our wedding photos. A few weeks later we discovered someone had deleted a couple folders and wiped the photos from everyone's machine. I didn't realize this would happen, and so Ididn't have a backup and had to go around to everyone to collect them again.

Spideroak, but my storage needs aren't incredibly high. I only use it for old code archives. Everything else is on gdocs.

edit: if I'm putting a huge file up (last one that comes to mind is one my dad shot of him driving his MG TC), I put it up on S3 so he can share it around.
Agreed but also easier said than done
Yes and no. Patents are often licensed or traded in bulk, but only a foolish entity would pay anything for a patent they have not read. However, patents are typically traded as part of a portfolio, and often the portfolio is structured so that it has a few really good ones and a bunch of nuisance or filler patents. Ideally you don't want to pay for those at all, but the seller won't sell anything other than the whole portfolio. Say they offer it for some amount X. So essentially you have to go back and say, "look, these 3 are OK but the rest are really narrow/useless/invalid/crappy, so we think your portfolio is worth much less than X." And negotiation happens.

I can't say how the bonuses are handed out once a portfolio is sold. Ideally, you'd guess the inventors of the "better" patents would get bigger bonuses. The most likely scenario, unfortunately, is that the inventors get nothing, and very likely are not even aware. It's a shame inventors are so unaware of the value companies reap from their IP.
If Britain were a U.S. state, it would be the second-poorest
Well, almost (I paid 79 euros for 1TB + Office 2013). I don't really see how Dropbox is going to survive this price war as the others don't need to directly profit from these services (at least not in the near future). Dropbox cannot really cross-finance the storage costs as this is its main business.

Recruiting from Competitors Isn't Sabotage: Overstating the Uber/Lyft Fight

I feel this way too sometimes, but I've come to relate it more to the fact that Meteor is relatively new, and the community has collectively built relatively few complex apps, so the documentation, available blog posts, Stack Overflow questions and answers, wikis, books, tutorials and videos just aren't really in place yet for that kind of architecture.

There are more and more solutions and patterns emerging every day as more and more people try building complex stuff in Meteor, though. Just look at some of the packages by Arunoda like fast-render, subs-manager, and kadira: all designed to ease development around common bottlenecks you run into as you start to scale up.

In other words, I think this problem will eventually go away as more people keep trying.

Just like it did with Ruby on Rails 8 years ago :)
Time Warner Cable is suffering a massive nationwide service outage
What can that possibly mean? Of course I read it; they addressed a small fraction of the cases involved in P2P link negotiation.

Ok, I re-read it, missed that sentence the 1st time. The guy does dismiss 'private' IP sharing as mentioned elsewhere in this thread. This has not been an issue with any enterprise client in our network. In fact, its a little weird to be consider sharing IP addresses a problem in a protocol designed to share IP addresses. Especially unroutable ones that can be guessed anyway (there are only 65535 192.168.x.x addresses).

And NOT doing this makes some attempts fail, have worse latency, or worse yet NOW you're sharing your private traffic (voip? video? company IP?) over the PUBLIC internet. In fact several of our more careful customers explicitly demand that we route P2P traffic exclusively inside their firewall, and this is the feature that makes it work for them.

Decriminalization would have a disproportionately good impact on the south side of Chicago. Remember, black kids are less likely to use drugs than white kids, but then have roughly equal arrest rates (not per drug use, per person) and then ridiculously disproportionate incarceration rates.

Some interesting books on the topic include "High Price" by neuroscientist Carl Hart, which I enjoyed because it touched personally on the gangbanging aspect, and "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander, which instead takes a structural/legal point of view. "High Price" also discusses our psychological reactions to drugs like nicotine, marijuana, and LSD -- the author talks about interactions between environment, personal psychology, and chemical and how different behaviors can result.

You can explore drug use rates at http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/quicktables/quickconfig.do?34481-... and notice that for a few drugs use is similar across black/white racial lines (crack, heroin) and for most other drugs skews very white. Look at cocaine, for instance.
Market economics is the aggregate of the deals that people make when they are not coerced. It's what results when both drivers and passengers are free to choose their best options. Regulation that disrupts this, by preventing drivers from offering services (through a medalion system) or prevents passengers from paying for services (by capping fares) make people worse off than they otherwise would be.
It isn't fair, and people in low-cost areas should not take this deal.

You have to give them credit for the transparency, though. Most places would pay you less, but not tell you.
I don't know if its the world or me that changed in the last year or so, but I've reached some kind of point with this evangelical sounding language, especially (but not exclusively) when it was a hard left bent. It hits me like listening to a 5 year old talk about surrendering themselves to Jesus.
"

You couldn't talk this way among people I know, especially the more intelligent and opinionated among them. They would either roll their eyes and look for an exit like they would when confronted by a door knocking cult member or get sucked in inevitably resulting in cross "don't encourage them" looks from their girlfriend.

Where do people find enough other people to talk to where they can even develop this way of speaking. With cults you need to be around only other members of the cult to sound like this.

I think I'm starting to buy into this internet feedback bubble. I think it might be where new cults get made.

If you're enjoying Firefox for Android can I persuade you to try Firefox Aurora for Android. Even though I am using Nightly on my Android, I don't recommend going with the emotions of a nightly build. I am asking you to try Aurora because its a bit ahead of the normal release and IMHO performs even better. :-)
I had the same moral objections as you and I've been using btsync (http://www.bittorrent.com/sync) and must admit it works great. My archive is not that big tough, ymmv.

To be honest I won't use dropbox again, even if Rice quits, since btsync is vastly superior for my use cases.
Just curious, what is the advantage? Near as I can tell EmailProvider will return one of two sorts of errors - either a ServiceError (the microservice was unable to send) or a NetworkError (unable to talk to micro service). These will be represented in the class of the exception the future wraps.

What benefit does two levels of futures provide? I was sarcastic before, but now I'm honestly asking.

In Hubic (by OVH) you pay 10 euro / month for 10 TB. So it is more expensive if you need 1 TB, but if you need more then it can be nice option. https://hubic.com/
That's just a graph.

I'd gladly upgrade if they offered something in between, let's say 500G for $5 a month/ $50 per year. Current pricing keeps my stuff on Google, it's not as useful (still waiting for a Drive client for Linux) but it's cheaper.
Does anyone use https://hubic.com/en/ ?
Their pricing looks crazy-cheap compared to other providers.
Thats how markets work. If you feel it isn't worth $100, then don't buy it. You vote with your money.
Changes to the keying of the key's shaft has little to do with how bumpable it is. If its still using the same internal mechanism.

As others have pointed out, alcohol very much is physically addictive.

As for heroin, the rates of addiction to heroin amongst heroin users is similar to that of alcohol - most heroin users are casual users, just like most users of alcohol. You just don't see the casual heroin users as easily, because they don't exactly advertise what they do. Nor do you see the large proportion of heroin addicts that manage to lead relatively normal lives.

It's not like heroin is a good thing, and that heroin addiction is something we should brush under the carpet, but for existing heroin addicts, lack of safe access to consistent doses is a far greater hazard than heroin itself.

Meanwhile nicotine on its own is not particularly addictive, nor particularly harmful - it needs to be mixed with other substances to become much of a problem.

A truecrypt container on Dropbox isn't very ideal either, you'd have to up/download the whole thing instead of just the file you need.

2014 H1 Tech IPO Review
Meanwhile Chrome doesn't even support OCSP (Certificate Revocation) for performance reasons, not even after Heartbleed.

Interesting. It's run by OVH and they seem to have been successful in building a business with rock-bottom pricing.
No, they really do reduce the number of spatial dimensions. Take EM fields. You have a 6-tuple relation, x×y×z×t×e×m. Maxwell's equations aside, this relation is four-dimensional, because two of its dimensions (e and m) are dependent on the other four (x, y, z, and t), making the relation a function: x×y×z×t→e×m. Meaning, for any values of x, y, z, and t, they are related to exactly one value of both e and m in the relation. Without any constraints, e and m may be freely chosen for each value of x, y, z, and t in the relation.

Now, if I assume Maxwell's equations, I am free to rewrite this relation as dependent on only three variables; let's say x, y, and z, but it really doesn't matter: x×y×z→t×e×m. To further refine the example, if I took t=0 for all x, y, and z, I'd have initial conditions at t=0 (very standard).

Given Maxwell's equations however, I can derive exactly one relation of the form x×y×z×t→e×m from my x×y×z→t×e×m initial conditions. Hence P(x×y×z×t→e×m) and P(x×y×z→t×e×m) are in bijection, |P(x×y×z×t→e×m)| and |P(x×y×z→t×e×m)| have exactly the same cardinality, and therefore the same spatial dimension, three.
You should check OneDrive out, it's 2,5 $ / user / month for 1 TB...

That's like $30 / year and less then 1 third of Dropbox pricing..

Interesting. I'll take some time to learn it over the weekend. Right now at work I use the following solution to keep a shell running on containers:

https://gist.github.com/TeMPOraL/3d134ce0d4a2b2f4232b

Basically, it starts a screen instance with a shell and your script running side by side, so when you Docker-attach to it, you can C-a " to shell.

run.sh would be the script you want to be run in container - the one that starts your webserver, database, whatever.

I adapted a screen solution from some random StackOverflow comment.

That is actually the case for most people outside the HN / open-source bubble. When you read a media outlet or the EFF make flat broad statements that "engineers hate software patents", you now know that they are, at best, pandering, or at worst simply lying.

The truth is, the vast majority of software engineers don't even know what a patent is. Of the rest, some are neutral, some are pro-, and some are anti-software patent. Of course, you only ever hear from the latter group because they think it's a big problem, and the rest really don't see anything wrong.
No iOS support? Why not?
I guess they dismissed it too soon. None of our enterprise customers have a problem with it. And some demand it - the alternative is to have their P2P traffic travel outside the firewall and back in again, 'hairpinned' through the public router. Talk about a security risk!
No client side encryption, dropped their service long ago.
So they finally give in and price it the same as Google Drive and iCloud. I guess they were expecting a huge lost of customer when iCloud launch in a few days, Their CEO said they wont compete on price, what happen to that?

And even if Amazon gave them a 50% discount, It would still be $150+ per year for 1TB excluding bandwidth. I wonder how are things going to work out for them.
