  @shahzamannn_ Your SaaS idea doesn’t need to be complicated. Stripe moves money. Postman sends API requests. Notion organizes information. Dropbox syncs files. The lesson? Simple problem + huge market + great execution = massive company. Stop asking, “Is my idea too simple?” Start asking, “How many people have this problem?”

  "There truly is a kind of pushback and a resistance to provision of information that even ODNI is asking for." ~Nolan (Who's resisting sharing of info. with ODNI?) 🛸 New: Nolan Comments on Skywatcher, and More 🛸 Three Nolan quotes... "...a shared realization that the data that even we're being given right now from the government is insufficient." There was an attempt to, "go out into the field and see if we could cause the attraction of some objects. There was some, let's call it, activity, but not enough that I would consider enabling to publish [a paper]." (If scientists were there for the alleged luring/baiting event that @RepEricBurlison has spoken about, would that be enough data for a paper?) "I think we're being listened to. Whether the people who are listening to us are going to be able to be responsive is another question." ~~~Full Clip Transcript~~~ @GarryPNolan: "Look, as scientists, whether we're philosophers, psychologists, material scientists, biologists, theorists, etc., we need data. And so, you know what I've been watching happen, at least around the [UAP Advisory] Council itself is, I think, a shared realization that the data that even we're being given right now from the government is insufficient. "And I don't blame, for instance, ODNI for that. And it has been explained to us, several times over, some of the so-called methods and sources issues that are around this. And also, that a lot of the data that we want to have access to, to do the kinds of analyzes that we would want to do, simply were never collected at the time. Or, in some cases it seems, if they were there, they're no longer there. But, you know, that sounds conspiratorial, so I'm not gonna go down that route. "But I agree with what Avi is saying, is that, rather than looking retrospectively, we need to start to plan prospectively. We could go forever relitigating past issues and who said what, where, and when. As opposed to, well, let's just do it now. Let's just do it to the future. "And so, for instance, because it just comes up many times on Twitter, is...although I can't talk about all of it about Skywatcher... Is, you know, that was an attempt, at the time, to take matters into our own hands in a semi-military, semi-academic fashion to, basically, go out into the field and see if we could cause the attraction of some objects. "And, you know, there was some, let's call it, activity, but not enough that I would consider enabling to publish. Believe me, if it was, I would have done it...already be putting that paper together. But there were lessons learned from that. "But I think, the other thing about the council is, what they're beginning to see is, I think, that there truly is a kind of pushback and a resistance to provision of information that even ODNI is asking for. Now again, that doesn't mean it's a conspiracy. It just means that I think everybody is coming to terms with the fact that it's not just, snap your fingers and you know somebody gives you a a Dropbox link and you can download everything. "So, you know, I'm happy seeing people now come up to speed, and I'm happy seeing, let's put it this way: a level of, let's call it, frustration that is driving us to ask for more. And I think we're being listened to. Whether the people who are listening to us are going to be able to be responsive is another question."

  Email scams but they also use a press cloud server that can hold up to millions of emails and send out messages in a bulk but to hundreds of people complicated when it comes to taking down email scams cuz you have to find where they coming from answer in a cloud compressed server that can hold up to millions of emails frequently combine compressed attachments (like ZIP, RAR, 7Z, or TGZ files) with cloud storage or servers to deliver malware, phishing pages, or credential-stealing links while trying to bypass security filters. Common patterns 🚩Malware in compressed attachments: Attackers send emails with ZIP or similar archives containing executables, scripts (VBS/JS), or disguised files. Some use specially crafted or nested ZIPs, password-protected archives (password given in the email body), or less-common formats that email gateways may not fully unpack or scan. Opening/extracting the archive can install remote-access tools, stealers, or ransomware. Cloud storage phishing (“storage is full” or similar alerts): Emails impersonate Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, Dropbox, or generic “Cloud Storage” services. They claim storage is full, a payment failed, or files will be deleted, creating urgency. Links often point to real cloud infrastructure (e.g., Google Cloud Storage Azure Blob, or other legitimate buckets) that host redirect pages or fake login/upgrade forms. This makes the links look trustworthy and helps them pass filters🚩.

  @airtelindia @Airtel_Presence I’m facing what appears to be a serious IPv6 routing/throughput issue on my Airtel broadband. My 300 Mbps connection gives ~300 Mbps download AND upload on Speedtest. However, with IPv6 enabled, Dropbox uploads collapse to around 10–15 KB/s, and services such as Gmail and some websites also become extremely slow/unresponsive. After disabling IPv6 on the Ethernet adapter, Dropbox immediately jumped to ~39 MB/s and the affected websites started loading normally within seconds. This has been reproduced consistently, so it does not appear to be a general bandwidth or Dropbox issue. Please escalate this to the network/IPv6 team and check IPv6 routing, packet loss, MTU/PMTUD and provisioning on my connection.

  Really?? Dropbox really needs a MCP server? CVE-2026-81102 The Dash MCP server bound its listener to the loopback address but never checked the host a request named. src/mcp_server_dash.py constructed the server for its network mode with the interface restricted to loopback and no transport-security settings, so a name that had been pointed at the loopback address still reached the listener while carrying the attacker's host name. A page in a visitor's browser could therefore drive the local server and invoke its company-search and file-detail tools under the Dropbox credential the server holds. Only the network mode was reachable this way; the standard input mode was not. The fix supplies transport-security settings that enable host checking and allow only the loopback name and port, rejecting other hosts before a tool runs. The repository publishes no versions, so the affected boundary is the commit preceding the fix.

  every founder i talk to is hiring a head of community wrong. i've been that hire four times. Zynga, Wix, Dropbox, Persona. 15 years, three continents. every time the JD was wrong, the expectations were wrong, and the first 90 days were a mess until i rewrote them myself. the JD problem. most community job descriptions read like a social media manager with extra steps. "manage our Discord, post engagement content, track NPS." that tells me the founder thinks community is content moderation with a better title. a real head of community JD should say: build the infrastructure where customers trust each other enough to solve problems together, and connect that trust back to pipeline and retention. if the JD doesn't mention revenue or product feedback loops, you're hiring the wrong role. the first 90 days. at Dropbox i walked into 400M+ users and zero community infrastructure. no forums, no events, power users had no way to talk to the product team. days 1 to 30: listen. real conversations with 50 customers. find the 10 who love your product enough to evangelize it for free. those are your founding members. wrong. within 2 weeks we had an outage and I had to source folks who were talking about Dropbox in different spaces - dev forums, stackoverflow, spiceworks, hackernews and so on. I was honest enough to share what was going on, my role and where i needed their help. days 31 to 60: build the first room. not a Slack with 14 channels nobody uses. one focused format. at Persona it was a 15 person dinner for compliance leaders. at Wix it was a partner council of 80K agencies. start small, make it valuable enough that people tell their peers. days 61 to 90: prove the loop. connect a community interaction to a business outcome. a feature request that shipped. a deal that closed because a customer introduced a prospect. a churn save from a power user helping a frustrated customer. if your community hire can't show that loop by day 90, something is off. forget member count or engagement. track these: repeat attendance. show up rates. at my dinners, 90% of RSVPs show up. 99% return. pipeline influence. what happens post dinner that can be attributed to $$$? product feedback velocity. how fast does a community insight reach the product team and ship? NPS delta. at Wix, partner community members renewed at 2-3x the rate of non members. the biggest mistake is org charting community as a sub-group within a random team. community sits between product, marketing, sales, and customer success. it touches biz relationships, partnerships, revenue, retention, and product roadmap. treat it that way. hire someone who's built it before and give them a seat at the leadership table.

  URGENT!!! DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS FAILS TO PROTECT THIS VETERAN's CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. MY HOME SECURITY SYSTEM AND PHONES HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER AND I AM PREVENTED FROM SEEING ANYTHING OUTSIDE MY HOME BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT ACTIVE ATTACKS ON MY PHONES AND SECURITY SYSTEM IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF TN AND FEDERAL LAW AND NO ONE IS STOPPING THEM. LINK TO PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS: I went to get the link from Dropbox and my Dropbox appears to have been wiped out. TO THE D.C. APPELLATE CIRCUIT COURT TO REQUEST AN IMMEDIATE RULING ON A TRO TO PROTECT THE APPELLANTS. This subject is about the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals has not issued a standard Stay of Proceedings to the State of TN for their malicious prosecution. By not doing so, they have left this Veteran and his Wife open to criminal attacks by unlawful Law Enforcement of the State of TN. Further the Appellate Court has allowed non-stop violations of the Appellants home computer, cell phones, A/C Units, Security System and any all other WiFi devices. And to this day the illegal cameras placed in the Appellants home have never been removed after the Local Police Department notified this Appellant that there were hidden camera's in his home. Further, the FBI, DOJ, OIG, D.C. US Attorney's Office and especially the Appellate Court have all been notified of the targeting and 24/7 harassment by allegedly unlawful Agents of more than one of our Alphabet Agencies, to include the FBI and DISA. FBI Director Patel has to know about this situation but has done nothing to stop the corruption in the State of TN and has not protected this Veteran and his Wife. We made it clear that on the night of February 18th, 2026, that 5 people in Police Uniforms had keys to this Appellant's home and attempted to unlock the locks and enter the home both at the front door and at the Garage Pedestrian Door. They never once made any statements or comments nor explained why they were there. They did not show any warrants for arrest or search. When they knew they could not get in with out breaking things, they left approximately 15 minutes later. I had called my Wife and let her know. I am facing the same potential attacks again even though when the State of TN conceding by defaulting by not filing a response Brief. They were effectively agreeing that everything stated in the Appellant Brief was accurate and that they could not contest it. That makes all the acts committed by all Law enforcement Four-Hundred and Ninety-Seven (497) Constitutional Rights Violations are valid. Further, in order to access the Security System and the Display, they have to be within 350ft of our home. Because there is no WiFi or Bluetooth installed in the Security System or the Display. Which means they are in close proximity of this Appellants property. Three (3) Emergency Motions have been filed with the D.C. Appellate Court on three separate dates to no avail. The D.C. Appellate Circuit Court has failed to issue a TRO to Stay the TN State malicious prosecution. And left this Appellant, Veteran to suffer the vices and current active ongoing criminal activities by the State of TN against this Appellant as he types in this post. This could include a potential unlawful arrest and incarceration again because the D.C. Appellate Court has not issued a TRO or a Protective Order to Protect the Appellants. That in and of itself is a direct Constitutional Rights Violation now by the very Appellate Court who has allowed further criminal activities to promulgate even further to allow harm and injury. The corruption appears to be rampant in our US Court Systems.

  Ben Thompson's two laws of consumer tech: 1) Consumers do not want to pay for software 2) Consumers do not care about being productive. "We went through this in early SaaS. The canonical company for this is Dropbox. They had to rebuild the whole thing and realize the only way we're going to make money is by selling to companies. You literally had OpenAI replaying the Dropbox story, but at like 100x the size. We're going to sell subscriptions to consumers. And they did. They sold a lot, but they didn't sell enough. If you're going to be in the consumer market, you have to be doing advertising. If they had leaned into advertising immediately, as soon as ChatGPT was a hit, I think they would have a great ad product right now. I think Google would be in much bigger trouble. I think Meta would be in much bigger trouble. Charging people money is hard. Giving people things for free is easy. And it's very frustrating that OpenAI did not pursue this sooner."

  If you are like me and you wondering, where my IDENTITY PEM FILE is on @flop_labs , I gat you; here is how to find it identity.pem is already saved automatically; the init command writes it to your project folder the moment you run it (typically right in technocore-did-starter/identity.pem). You don't need to do anything extra for it to exist. What "saving" really means here is backing it up safely, since if this file is lost, your DID is unrecoverable (the guide's troubleshooting table says exactly that: "there is no central DID recovery service"). 1. Confirm it's there ls -la ~/technocore-did-starter/identity.pem 2. Back it up to a second location — copy it somewhere other than the working folder, e.g. an external encrypted drive or a password manager that supports file attachments (1Password, Bitwarden both do this): cp ~/technocore-did-starter/identity.pem ~/Desktop/identity-backup.pem Then move that copy off your main disk (external drive, encrypted USB, etc.) rather than leaving a second copy sitting in ~/Desktop long-term. 3. Lock down file permissions so only your user account can read it: chmod 600 ~/technocore-did-starter/identity.pem 4. What NOT to do with it Don't upload it to GitHub, Google Drive, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or any synced/cloud folder in plaintext. Don't email it to yourself or paste it into a chat (including this one). Don't commit it to *** , the guide's Path B steps even have you run *** ls-files "*.pem" "*.key" before committing specifically to catch this. 5. Remember the passphrase separately from the file The .pem is encrypted, but it's useless without the passphrase you set during init. Store that passphrase somewhere separate from the .pem backup itself (a password manager entry, not a text file sitting next to the key), so a single leaked backup doesn't hand over both pieces at once. NOTE - If you lose either the file or the passphrase, per the guide, there's no recovery; you'd have to run init again and get a brand new DID.

  @sethbannon I think I’d agree with the sentiment, and not the assessment. We’re not close to too many startups building weapons. The company with “drone” in the name that has the navy and other defense units as obvious potential customers doesn’t make a trend. If I had to put my finger on what has changed, Palantir and Anduril unlocked the latent interest in the space that matches the historically close connection between Silicon Valley and defense. It was just that the Overton window was locked down by people afraid to talk about what defense really means, and in many cases aren’t even Americans with the opinions. I say this as someone who worked at iRobot in defense before my time in YC, Facebook, Dropbox, and Lyft. Each had lots of people comfortable assuming others will think about and solve the ***** problems.

  $DBX - Dropbox added 96,000 paying users this quarter. I said this morning to watch that line after last quarter's roughly 14,000 sequential adds. They did seven times that, a third consecutive quarter of growth, to 18.19M. The stock is down 4%. Everything I said to watch on the growth side came in fine. Revenue $631.5M, above both the $624-627M guide and the $627M street. Non-GAAP EPS $0.75 against $0.74. Non-GAAP operating margin 39.7%, above the full-year range. ARPU $139.68, up from $138.32. What went the wrong way is the part I said would actually move it. Free cash flow fell to $235.2M from $258.5M a year ago, and the margin went from 41.3% to 37.2%. And the buyback decelerated: $330M this quarter against $410M in the same quarter last year, with first-half repurchases down 19%. Unlevered free cash flow rose to $283.5M, and the gap between the two numbers is interest. Cash paid for interest went to $48.3M from $17.9M. The buyback is debt-funded and the debt now costs something. Diluted share count is down 18% year over year to 226.8M, which is the one thing still working mechanically. Two things about the release itself. Guidance isn't in it — Dropbox moved the numbers to supplemental materials on its investor site this quarter, which breaks with how it has reported. And the entire release is quoted by a co-CEO who writes "stepping into this role." The 8-K contains no disclosure of a leadership change. Twenty-nine percent of the float is short. $DBX

  99% startups who applied to yc today will get rejected. here's what the smart ones do next: a no from yc isn't the end. they literally encourages you to reapply and tracks your progress across applications. the founders who get in later treat rejection as round one, not game over. the playbook: "don't wait for feedback" yc doesn't tell you why you got cut at the application stage. so stop self-doubting firstly. the reasons founders get rejected are almost always the same: - no visible progress between "idea" and "application" - not the perfect answer why you're the right team for the problem - vague answers that read as ai slop or unclear thinking reapply. it actually works. - dropbox: drew houston applied solo, got rejected, was told to find a cofounder. he did, reapplied, got in. - reddit: rejected for a completely different first idea. yc liked the founders and told them to come back. they did. the pattern never changes: build, show progress, come back stronger! you can apply again right now yc's decision lets you apply for the next batch. no need to wait months to get another chance. don't put your life on hold other strong programs are still open while you regroup. check the attached tweet below for whole list where you can apply as well. apply in parallel, not "later." the real unlock is traction a reapplication that says "we listened, we built, here are the numbers" beats a first application every time. the 6 months after a no matter more than the no itself. rejection quietly filters out the founders who were never that serious. don't be one. 💀 follow @arorabhavyam for weekly content around founders, startups and AI! 🫡

  @Dishpit So your moat on a developer product is “let us run this for you”? Like Fly or Cloudflare couldn’t destroy you by adding a durable object *** server? They already have a CI/CD product. They already have the compute. Look, you could be having a DropBox 2009 moment, but why your software when there’s already a great open platform my agent has decades of docs to work with and simple docker hosting options? Is it really just cost? How long is that sustainable? Nobody is going to buy a *** host. Really, you’re competing via marketing. You need a target audience of developers.

  👤Shadow Adoption The pattern: Staff route around the sanctioned tool, and the organisation finds out afterwards. I watched this with unauthorised modems. Then with USB drives. Then with Dropbox. Then with entire SaaS platforms procured on a personal credit card and expensed as “software.” Now it is AI the same movie, new cast, better production values. The reason is always identical and always reasonable: the sanctioned tool is slower than the job requires. Shadow adoption is not an indiscipline problem. 👊 It is a feedback signal about the official tooling, arriving through the wrong channel. The tell: Compare the usage figures for your officially sanctioned tool against what your helpdesk volume implies people are actually doing. The gap is your shadow estate. FR FR

  Drew Houston, founder of Dropbox, on the day the scoreboard gets switched off: For your entire life, the water has come out of one hose. Then, as he put it to MIT's graduating class: "Today, one valve shuts off and now your job is to go out and find a new hose." His hose was Dropbox. Yes, building the company was "the most exciting and interesting and fulfilling experience of my life." But he immediately flagged the half nobody hears: "What you probably don't know, and what I haven't really talked about, this has also been the most painful and humiliating and frustrating experience, too." Not hard. Humiliating. He said he could look back over the years and not even count the number of things that had gone wrong. Then: it doesn't matter. Nobody has a 4.0 in real life. Once you're done with school, Houston said, the whole idea of a GPA just goes away. Bill Gates's first company made software for traffic lights. Steve Jobs's first company made plastic whistles that let you make free phone calls. Neither was successful, and in Houston's words, "it's hard to imagine these guys were too worried about it." Here's why that lands harder than the usual fail-fast sermon: A GPA is an average, every error permanent, weighted, dragged forward forever. It rewards never being wrong. What comes after is a maximum. The misses are discarded. Only the peak is scored. Most people struggle after graduation because they keep playing an average game inside a maximum game. "From now on, failure doesn't matter. You only have to be right once."
