  @soltwagner @soltwagner Hi! Bought Cooldock today and loving it so far. A few things: 1. The Dropbox widget doesn't work. (See attached.) 2. The App Switcher widget is broken. It won't switch focus to a clicked app and clicking the Ⓧ removes the app from the switcher for a split second, and then immediately brings it back. 3. A Trello widget (or a few) would be awesome.

  I got in touch with the system administrator, and they were able to resolve the issue. It turned out that the problem was caused by an update to the connected Dropbox account.

  @drewhouston @Dropbox big call. the co-ceo move forces the operating-system rewrite a single ceo can postpone forever. as a 17yo technical co-founder still 1 month into a saas, the thing i'm curious about is what the first conversation looked like. did you go in with the structure already drafted, or did it surface from a problem you couldn't both keep solving the old way?

  @0xajka @Dropbox What’s your problem? @dropbox support is horrendous.

  @MikeJShowalter The issue is the use of the data to train models not retention. Acting as if this is the same a Dropbox is disingenuous. They will not use the data to train for non-safety issues. Non-safety issue is doing some heavy lifting there. Do they have an outline of what this means?

  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?

  Is uploading on Clips4Sale not working for anyone else? I can only get it to work if I do it through Dropbox, the usual upload button isn’t working

  Your next business idea is probably hiding inside a frustration. Most successful businesses started with: "This is annoying." Uber. Airbnb. Dropbox. Pay attention to problems. Ask: • What wastes my time? • What confuses me? • What do people complain about?

  @mitsuhiko Similarly, I still use the old version before 7. They try to force you to bind to their server-dependent version. I prefer to use dropbox to synchronize.

  Okay, I think I've settled for an idea. I'll probably create an Dropbox account and upload all NSFW stuff there. Everyone who's interested in getting a link, once it's there, drop an comment down here. Won't be free tho. Around 10ish € a month

  clean but slow founder announcement video - lighting is really nice - music matches minimalist energy - glad to see the founder making this announcement but - waits WAYYY too long (til 1:24) to say what they're announcing. longest I've seen. - too much time on a problem everyone already gets - missed op animating visuals over hand gestures when explaining stuff - visuals way too small - captions are hard to read / too long - opening is a little awk - spenser sounds very nice when he says the first line, then drops the f bomb - script needs to be tightened up a ton - end kinda trails off and no CTA lots of people try this "breaking the third wall" opener where you show some authentic conversation preparing for a take, but a lot of folks mess up trying to fake it. dropbox had a bad one and this is similar. length is the killer with this. at 25k impressions, I'd be surprised if more than 100 people actually watched through to when he actually says what the product is. think this could have been a 5/5 if it was shorter, more to the point, and a really good animator worked with the script to animate things around spenser as he spoke.

  The fix is simple: do not use one generic code/ folder for all long-lived branches. Use separate Dropbox folders whose names encode the intended branch: code_main/ code_experimentation_main/ code_experimentation_main_name1Sandbox/ code_experimentation_main_name2Sandbox/

  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.
