This seems a bit left field. If you were a $100MM startup I could buy this argument but at $3.4B you better believe that their valuation is tied to their gross volume of goods and revenue moving through their platform. Which is why the rece

It looks like overall a classic mistake of trying to go too fast too soon. The issue with taking on VC capital is that you need to be in control of how you spend that money, and if you don't need it, then don't take it. There are

That's currently in development for 2017, it's towards the end of this year. As we make more progress that timeline will get tightened up. But it is something we are actively working on and it was kicked off in the tail end of 201

Our goal would be to provide a complete product solution so you would just be able to login and create a cluster. Unfortunately our current implementation that we are running behind the scenes wouldn't be directly portable to our end c

That's the point I was making. That for most consumers a security breach isn't viewed the same as an E.Coli outbreak. Although the likelihood of you catching E.Coli is less than 1% the resulting impact was huge. Meanwhile like you

Consumers vote with their wallet and if the transgression is large enough the company feels it. It's easy to get lost in the tech echo chamber where we take security seriously, but many average consumers don't. So we incorrectly a

There have been a few issues with how Facebook has calculated some of their views as well so it's not surprising that there maybe issues with Snapchat. But regardless of whether they are misquoting some of their growth numbers or not I

Yes because Owncloud will never get the kind of adoption that Dropbox has specifically because it isn't consumer oriented. It's just like Linux. It can own the backend / developer world, but Linux is still no where on the des

$40MM is definitely nothing to scoff at but if you consider the overall enterprise value of linux out there in the wild, then it's definitely less than even 1% of the value that was created. So on absolute basis compared to a regular s

You are correct and inferring the right thing, that even if they are burning cash it isn't substantial because you can't be cash flow positive and burn >1x revenue.

Unfortunately this is a bit of a flawed blog post on Medium's behalf. The facts are that 50 people were fired due to burn rate and lack of revenue. The second fact is that "NO" fact is given to how this will be rectified in t

The fact that Dropbox's revenue is well above Box's if the rumors in the article are true is a great positive sign. As is being cash flow positive which would indicate that if they are burning cash it isn't at the rate of 2x
