There's always C-SPAN. She hasn't been censored. She's only been denied a company's message amplification product. Goofball isn't a protected class, so Twitter is under no obligation to serve her.

The key message throughout that book is that you have to be sincere in your interest. You can fake interest in what someone wants to talk about, but it takes time away from perusing genuine interests. Sometimes you can fake it until a genui

If I have to pretend to be someone I'm not to have a social life, I'd rather not. Fortunately, there are plenty of people I get on with fine opening with stuff I actually find interesting, and they collect into large social groups

These are mostly replacements rather than first cameras. It's still a shrinking niche relative to smartphone photography.

It's an interesting turn. Microsoft invested $150 million to save Apple long ago, now Apple is investing in Microsoft's services platform as they both try to transition into services companies.

You can exclude folders. I use it for a few things where there's no point in backing it up.

Yep. The nice thing about it is you just run it, log in, and it'll quietly keep an incremental copy of everything on any drive you tell it to back up without you having to think about it. You don't have to know what the heck an r-

I'm sure it depends on needs. I have gigabytes of raw photos, videos, renders, stems, asset packs I can't count on being available from the original source, etc. I never need to access it on other computers, so they're not sy

There's an infamous comment on the Dropbox launch that addresses this better than I can, but I can't find it. Suffice to say: yes, I'm aware there are solutions I can put together that are more work than I care to do to maybe

It makes more sense if you see it as lead generation, like the free plans for stuff like Slack or Notion. Some of those people will pick B2 or their group management platform if they do a startup and do well enough. They probably spend less

People are confusing backup and sync. Backblaze will run an incremental backup of 20TB and 20GB for the same price, but you have to have 20TB or 20GB of storage attached to the backed up computer. It won't let you access files not on y

They apparently build 500+ of their pods at close to $9k each (as of the older version--can't find cost on the latest) every year in 2016. That could represent the cost of growth in free trials through 2020 with people getting their ho

Google Drive and OneDrive are sync services. Backblaze is backup. You can walk back to a specific day on Backblaze and download or ship a copy of all your files from before a disaster hit. Google's Backup is still live synced and has n
