  3. Incentivizes Centralizing BlockSpace Market Ahhh the crux of the problem "... high-volume data ...". Bitcoin is a monetary protocol used for monetary txs any other use make Bitcoin useless. Monetary txs are small. If you want data then get a DropBox account.

  @ishankbg @Siradhvaja @PhilipPanass Yes, shodhganga seems to be down. Can you suggest how I can post a folder with 10 pdf files here? Both dropbox and wetransfer are asking for email id.

  @DropboxSupport I tried both on every browser AND the app on phone. It just gives me errors when I try to delete anything or upload anything. It's a problem on YOUR end, please fix it. I was able to upload stuff just a few moments ago until this issue started!

  @BusinessInsider 📌 Dropbox founder Drew Houston is transitioning out of the CEO role, with Ashraf Alkarmi stepping in as co‑CEO before becoming sole chief executive. Houston will shift into an executive chairman position after a transition period in which he and Alkarmi share the co‑CEO title. 🧭 Leadership Transition: - Drew Houston is stepping down after nearly two decades leading Dropbox, moving into an executive chairman role following a period as co‑CEO with Ashraf Alkarmi. - Alkarmi, previously Dropbox’s head of product and general manager of its core business, becomes co‑CEO effective immediately and will later assume the role of sole CEO. 🧩 Background on Ashraf Alkarmi: - Joined Dropbox in late 2024 after senior product roles at Vimeo, Amazon (including Amazon Freevee), and Meta. - Credited internally with making Dropbox more responsive to customers and pushing for bolder product innovation. - Will receive an annual salary of $825,000, a target bonus equal to base salary, and $12.65M in restricted stock units vesting over several years. 📉 Company Context: - Dropbox’s market cap is just over $6 billion, roughly half its value at IPO in 2018. - Competition from Google, Apple, and Microsoft has pressured its core storage business, with revenue growth slowing to under 1% year‑over‑year. - The company reported $629.5M in Q1 2026 revenue and more than 18 million paying users. 🚀 Houston’s Next Chapter: - Houston, now 43, says his next move will be entrepreneurial and AI‑focused, not retirement.

  @suchenzang Entire value prop is doing a lot of heavy lifting here everything gcp/aws/azure does can effectively be done in a budget manner by its customers. Dropbox storage similarly (granted it's market cap is way down but still it is a viable business) I have no dog in this fight fwiw

  Drew Houston stepping down as Dropbox CEO. 314 comments on HN, most reading like a eulogy. Cloud storage went from 'this changes everything' to 'it's just a folder' in about a decade. The moment Google bundled Drive for free, the moat was gone. What's the modern equivalent — something we think is defensible today that'll be commoditized by 2030?

  The next time you say, "Python is too slow," remember: Netflix uses Python. Google uses Python. Anthropic uses Python. Meta uses Python. xAI uses Python. Perplexity uses Python. DeepSeek uses Python. Instagram uses Python. Spotify uses Python. Dropbox uses Python. Reddit uses Python. Pinterest uses Python. Uber uses Python. Airbnb uses Python. Quora uses Python. But yeah... it's apparently too slow for your todo app.

  Indian Government: "We've blocked Telegram to protect the NEET exam." The Internet: So the problem was... Telegram? Not the people selling fake papers? Not the organised scam networks? Not the thousands of mule bank accounts? Not the hundreds of disposable SIM cards? Not the fake payment gateways? Not the people exploiting students' panic and desperation? Solution: Block Telegram. Meanwhile: ✅ Discord still exists. ✅ WhatsApp still exists. ✅ Signal still exists. ✅ Slack still exists. ✅ Email still exists. ✅ Google Drive still exists. ✅ Dropbox still exists. ✅ OneDrive still exists. ✅ iMessage still exists. ✅ Bluetooth still exists. ✅ AirDrop still exists. ✅ The entire web still exists. Scammers: "No problem. See you tomorrow on another platform." Meanwhile, millions of legitimate users who rely on Telegram for: College and study groups Open-source communities Cybersecurity research Software development Startups and businesses Education and learning News and information sharing are left wondering what they did wrong. The platform changes. The abuse doesn't. Target the criminals. Not the communication tools.

  this post has been up for just about a day > 10+ leads for long-term packaging work > almost 200 new followers > impressions up across the whole account yet I declined every single lead I've never worked on a per-project basis, always valued long-term relationships but recently I decided to make it even more exclusive I keep the number of channels i work with deliberately VERY small so each one gets my full strategic attention but no matter how selective I am, this type of work has a ceiling I can only work with so many channels at once so I started building something bigger, that is beyond my time and solves a real problem all creators face youtube has become a real industry, with creators running teams of 5, 10, 15+ people but the tools haven't caught up everyone's still spreading their production across notion, slack, drive/dropbox, frame, and more tools just to run their channels because nothing was built specifically for youtube production until now. @feedzyio
