  Here's the stack I keep finding when I talk to tax firms: → Intake forms in JotForm or Google Forms → Signatures in DocuSign or PandaDoc → Reminders in Mailchimp, email, text messages → Document tracking in a Google Sheet, excel, crm → Client files scattered across email, Google Drive, dropbox, local hard drive Five tools, five logins, five places for something to fall through. None of them talk to each other, so the accountant becomes the integration. manually copying status from one to the next. It's not that any single tool is bad. It's that the seams between them are where the time goes. The fix isn't a sixth tool. It's removing four of them. How many tools are in your tax-season stack right now?

  @PhilipLeworthy The Android app is going to unfortunately remain on CalDAV + Dropbox sync for now. I'll be updating it to fix a few issues as well as Tablet related compatibility issues but not major features planned. It remains functional the way it is albeit with a few limitations.

  @joinautopilot @charliebilello I can see why a bunch of those are sagging (joke? Or maybe I'm not joking): - Snapchat is in decline, less users overall. - Streaming subscriptions are becoming too expensive to keep up w/ inflation - X likely sagging ever since its lead advertisers left - Dropbox: user usage declining? (I use Google drive, Mega) - Alibaba: Chinese knockoffs, not bound to survive long - doordash: getting too expensive, way too many fees whenever I've used it, even WITH the discounts - Roblox: declining corporate - Snap: declining user usage, they constantly advertise Snapchat+ and idk anyone who actually uses that - Facebook: meta's side hussles were failing (notable: metaverse shutdown) - coinbase: app is ALWAYS buggy, slow, Base wallet became infested with scam tokens with no way to report, I personally stopped using it for this reason - pinterest: we just have AI to put together mood boards now, Pinterest not needed - Uber: same fee problem as doordash plus majority of gig drivers in my experience are the same few Indian drivers - uipath: likely not keeping up with the AI agent competition - bumble: women are probably tired of it tbh - lyft: same problems as Uber and doordash I can't answer for some others because I'm not as familiar or just can't think of a reason why they have poorer returns, so I dunno.

  You might not believe it, but it is in fact happening, because it increases the cost, time, and difficulty of running a node. "Large" is a matter of opinion, but is clearly a quantity which would add up over time and have an impact. Why don't you want nodes to be as easy to run for people as possible, so that the maximum number of people can participate in the network, making it more valuable and more resilient? Why is that not something you want, to the extent that you will spend time arguing against it? What exactly is your stake in nodes being more difficult to run than they need to be? Why don't you care about spam? Why don't you care that it obviously, as it does everywhere it exists, degrades the quality of the thing being used? Why do think bitcoin will just be fine and go on forever while watching it transform into a poor imitation of dropbox? Why would anyone interested in bitcoin as money continue to use it when it becomes more and more infested with non-monetary data? Why don't you care about the possibility of truly bad stuff ending up on chain until the end of time? Do you think Satoshi made a mistake? Should he have created "Bitdata" instead? Do we not need to fix the world's money? You good with USD or whatever else is inflating away to nothing? So many questions that will never be answered...

  In 2009, Dropbox ignored every rule about SaaS launches. No ads. No cold outreach. No sales team. One stupid idea: a 3-minute demo video for a product that didn't fully exist yet. It generated 75,000 signups overnight. ----- Insight 1 - Simplicity converts better than features Show people one clear outcome. They sign up before the product is ready. Insight 2 - The best growth doesn't look like growth A demo video isn't a campaign. Which is exactly why it worked. Lesson 3 - Ignore conventional launch advice "The opposite of a good idea can also be a good idea." - Rory Sutherland Every advisor said: build first, market second. Dropbox marketed first. Then built. We now see founders obsessing over perfect MVPs before showing anyone anything. The problem: You ship clean code nobody sees. The solution: You ship a clear story first, then the code catches up. I use Postwyse to build that story in public before the product is ready. Perception opens doors. But shipping closes them.

  Bricks & Minifigs LEGO Drama: Unredacted Police Footage Raises Serious Questions About Cop-Business Ties Hey everyone, it's been a wild ride since my last piece on the Bricks and Minifigs mess. What started as a story about a family trying to sell their massive Star Wars LEGO collection has turned into something much uglier. With the unredacted bodycam and dashcam footage from American Fork Police now out there, we are seeing a side of this that looks a lot like police getting way too cozy with the business they were supposed to investigate fairly. The Footage Drop That Blew It Open Just recently, someone got hold of a big batch of unredacted videos from the American Fork PD. It was apparently an accidental public Dropbox link, but once it was out, it spread fast. These are the full versions of the interactions that were shown in heavily edited form before. And man, they paint a pretty concerning picture. In the clips, you see Bricks and Minifigs people like store owner Joshua Johnson and CEO Ammon McNeff talking to officers. They throw out some heavy claims against Reckless Ben. Things like extortion, death threats, collusion with the Mansells, and even making up documents. The police seem to eat it up without much pushback right there on camera. It feels like they are taking the company's word as solid fact. Signs of Too Close for Comfort One part that stands out is when an officer mentions personal connections. He talks about being friends with the Airbnb host where Reckless Ben and his crew were staying before that swatting mess. The officer even sounds like he is bragging about it on bodycam. That kind of casual chat makes you wonder if private relationships played into how aggressively they went after Ben. There is also talk between American Fork officers and other departments, including LAPD. It looks like McNeff and his team were pushing multiple police forces to go after Reckless Ben. The footage shows officers coordinating in ways that feel more like helping a business protect itself than handling a neutral investigation. The arrest of Reckless Ben gets shown in more detail too. What some saw as a traffic stop turns into a long vehicle search over supposed drugs that never seemed to pan out. Critics are calling the whole thing disproportionate, like the police were there to send a message rather than enforce clear laws. The earlier redacted videos hid a lot of this flow, but now we can see it all. The Community Reaction and the Mormon Angle LEGO fans and true crime watchers online have been tearing this apart. Threads on Reddit and YouTube breakdowns are full of people saying it looks like the department acted as private security for Bricks and Minifigs. Some point to the shared LDS Church ties between officers, Johnson, McNeff, and others as a possible reason for the protective vibe. I am not saying it is a full conspiracy, but the optics are not great in a tight knit place like American Fork. Public trust in the police handling here has taken a real hit. The department put out statements defending their actions as responses to stalking complaints at Johnson's home. They say redactions were about protecting victims. But the full unredacted stuff has many questioning if that was the whole truth. Where Does This Leave the Mansells? Remember, at the heart of it all is still that elderly collector and his son who lost track of most of their $200,000 collection during the franchise handover. Bricks and Minifigs maintains they only inherited a tiny bit of inventory and that the original deal was not properly done. Lawsuits are moving forward, but the missing sets and money have not been explained to the Mansells' satisfaction. Reckless Ben's videos brought massive attention to their situation, including a GoFundMe that has helped with legal costs. His style is aggressive, sure, but the new footage makes it look like the pushback from the other side involved more than just legal channels. This scandal shows how fast a hobby dispute can drag in law enforcement and how important real transparency is. If police really did favor one business over a fair process, that is a big problem no matter what side you are on. The LEGO community thrives on trust and good deals. Right now, a lot of us are watching closely to see if the courts sort out the missing bricks and whether anyone holds the police accountable for how they handled this. It is not over yet, but these videos have definitely shifted the conversation. What do you think? Drop your takes below.

  8/ The settings on your own devices that are silently eating bandwidth. Even with a great router, fast DNS, and honest ISP speeds, your devices may be consuming bandwidth you didn't authorize. Common culprits: On your phone: 1. iCloud/Google Photos backup set to sync constantly (not just on Wi-Fi) 2. App updates downloading in the background 3. "Wi-Fi Assist" on iPhone (silently switches to cellular and back, disrupting connections) On your laptop: 1. Cloud sync services (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive) uploading constantly 2. Windows/macOS pushing system updates during peak hours 3. Browser tabs running in background consuming bandwidth with auto-refresh On your smart TV: 4. Firmware updates downloading during prime streaming time 5. Multiple streaming apps running in background 6. ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) sending screenshots to servers every 15-60 seconds On IoT devices: 1. Smart cameras uploading video 24/7 2. Smart speakers maintaining constant server connections 3. Smart home hubs polling every device every few seconds She audited every device on her network. Twelve devices were consuming bandwidth she didn't know about. Three of them were using more data than her actual streaming.

  Dropbox founder Drew Houston on why distribution is more important than product LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman wrote in his book Blitzscaling: "Many people in Silicon Valley like to focus on building products that are, in the famous words of the late Steve Jobs, "insanely great." Great products are certainly a positive, but the cold and unromantic fact is that a good product with great distribution will almost always beat a great product with poor distribution." Dropbox is a great example of this. As Dropbox founder & CEO Drew Houston explains, great distribution is ultimately how they beat out dozens of competitors with similar product offerings. Drew believes that too many startups overlook the importance of great distribution. Dropbox had a great product, but it succeeded because of its great distribution. They used a combination of organic virality (users shared files with nonusers) and incentivized virality (Basic account holders get 500 MB of extra storage per user they refer; Pro account holders get 1 GB) to grow. Virality helped Dropbox double its 100,000 users at launch to 200,000 users just ten days later, then skyrocket to one million users just seven months after that. An important caveat though: if your distribution strategy focuses on virality, you have to make sure you solve retention first. Bringing new users in through the front door doesn't help you grow if they immediately turn around and leave. According to Drew, Dropbox discovered this truth the hard way, when activation rates revealed that only 40% of the people signing up were actually putting files in their Dropbox and linking them to their computers. As Drew partially explains in the clip, the early Dropbox team went on Craigslist and offered $40 to anyone who'd come in for a 30-minute usability test. They asked these people to go from a Dropbox e-mail invitation to sharing a file with another email address. Zero of the five people tested succeeded--they didn't even come close. This stunned the team. So they made a list of 80+ things in an Excel spreadsheet and sanded down all of the rough edges in the experience. They soon watched their activation rate climb and left the competition in the dust as they marched on to a $9+ billion market cap. Source: @ycombinator (Feb 2017)

  I have the feeling - when I see who is posting this table over and over on here - that this is just a campaign so institutionals can get in cheaper. How am I remotely interested in the statistics within a 1 year window. (apart from the fact that there are many companies on that list that neither have a unique selling point (Dropbox, Doordash, Pinterest etc..) nor were they economically super great investment casess with a lot of upside. It is of course very likely that SPCX will trade extremely volatile within the first year and that we will also see cash-outs by long term private equity holders once the lock-period expires. So if you have cash set aside - no investment advice - consider just not throwing it in all at once. I personally plan on playing this in 3 tranches. 1/3 today, 1/3 on the first significant draw down and then another 1/3 whenever I feel it is appropriate.

  “consumer doesn't run on problems” 👏 Consumers will pay to be entertained. Businesses will pay to be productive. This is a lesson the tech industry is forced to learn every decade or so. Apple, Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Dropbox, Evernote, Quip, AirTable, Trello, etc have all learned this the hard way. We saw it play out in crypto. Today it’s playing out in OpenAI vs Anthropic.
