Their under body sonar & image processing should have picked it up before the attempted braking...hope they put out full postmortem.
ap46··on Ask HN: Is Google is broken for discovery?
That's the whole point inevitably, if it was good we won't stay on a page/multiple result pages for long. Also the rationale behind removing direct image links, so as to keep you on a JS executing page.

ap46··on Disappearing videos and disappointed grandmothers
I make it a point to Dropbox critical files(non-media) & do monthly backups of my phone & Mac to 2 physical drives. I'd love for something which does this daily of specific folders on my phone & Mac & makes sure there are no duplicates etc. And then on a monthly basis archive them to 2 or more different cloud storage vendors.

ap46··on Ask HN: My Microsoft account has been suspended by Microsoft without details
Folks, it is high time & rather long enough time that we actually bought domains & setup our own email addresses since now everything is linked with one & random termination of a free-email account & linked data loss is simply unacceptable. But that's what you get when you go with a free service provider.

ap46··on Ask HN: Locked out of Google services with no recourse or explanation
This is another timely reminder for everybody to get a simple domain(e.g. Namecheap, now with free whois-privacy as well) & maybe use Zoho mail to manage it for free(IIRC upto 2 in the free-tier). Then forward it to your gmail or whatever. That way you never lose the email address even if something untowardly happens to the forwarded email. I've learnt this the hard way.
ap46··on Ask HN: How do you record your personal finances?
Spendee + Keep & always backing them up half-yearly. I would love to create something with markdown & https://github.com/remotestorage/remotestorage.js for storing user data.
ap46··on Teenagers are growing more anxious and depressed
It's just another outlet like newspapers or books. It's not like everyone on the coach bursts into laughter/jokes/small-talk or chops veggies on the way home.

Although it would suck if they did the same thing at home.

ap46··on ‘Anonymous’ Chat App Hijacks Contact Data
Kind of a r/ShowerThoughts, we should maybe make an app & voluntarily fill our Contacts app with specific human like crap values & then sync all major apps with it thus peppering their gold-pots with waste contacts & by the time they catch up, the damage is already done. Rinse & repeat with slightly different values.

ap46··on Interview with Drew Houston, CEO of Dropbox
I open dropbox manually on my Mac & quit it manually after a file has been synced. I don't see how can they survive any longer except for institutional customers who should be extra careful about surveillance.
ap46··on Interview with Drew Houston, CEO of Dropbox
They can & already do p2p files & audio/video/data using WebRTC(even Apple got onboard yesterday).

The problem dropbox tries to solve is allowing access to files when either party is not connected to the internet or to grant publicly share a set of files.
