If you're willing to use SaaS services (as you're mentioned OneDrive already), there are proper E2EE providers where you can work together and share files. Although I am not sure real time collaboration (such as Google Docs or Office online) is feasible with end-to-end encryption yet.

YC recently invested in another European-based AI/data science online school, Strive School [0]. What are your main differentiators compared to them?

edit: Also, can you elaborate on this: "We're cheaper than Lambda school because we have optimized-focused learning platform & education processes. With that we can have 70% less staff to deliver the same and even higher education quality"?

Just want to understand your value propositon better as I am seriously considering to attend a bootcamp like yours.

Can you please point me a source where Bitcoin is "desired" as a payment method? It's seen more of a store of value, not used for paying for everyday things.

Unfortunately food intolerancies could appear at very early childhood causing several gut & non-gut related problems. So in that case a child can't know what is healthy or good because the baseline is so bad.

There is a few end-to-end encrypted storage providers[0][1], where you can share your files externally with other users without breaking the encryption for a long time.

Disclaimer: I work for the second one.

Would your mother understand the "simply use GPG on top of IMAP or Mailvelope" part? These E2EE products are not for the tech savy users, who are willing to go to the extra mile.

One of my classmates came back from Africa to Europe this March without any symptoms. 10 days later she got high fever, dizziness, and unfortunately she could not even recognise her family. Everyone thought its COVID, and doctors recommended her to stay home to not spread the "virus". Unfortunately when she got the the hospital, the diagnostics was too late to and she died in malaria 1,5 days later.

Please beware of this infection and get the medication even if it has strong side effects.

From a business point of view I think that creating a family plan would likely decrease their revenue (in the short term), as lot of small businesses/professional users would abuse this

Even though it's a webapp it can be end-to-end encrypted. Fortunately, they are planning to do it, but I am not 100% convinced that all the function will work on e2e notes.

Although most of the advices focuses on specific techniques (which is very important to focus on), I want to emphasize something different: diet and lifestyle.

Without sounding too obvious, I can not recommend you enough reducing caffeine and alcohol use (if its a problem) and focusing on sporting regularly.

Adding an opposite view, Noam Wassermann in his book "The Founder's Dilemmas"[1] concluded after analysing loads of startups that weak links or acquaintances (friends of friends or persons in the same community) are better co-founders.

Doing business (especially a high-risk, high-stress startup) with friends can lead to the elephant in the room effect when in the long term the founders focus on preserving their relationship thus avoiding the friction.

Side note: the author is a teacher, not a serial entrepreneur where one of Aristotle's quote hold its water: “Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.”

You should not consider Dropbox a file storage and sync provider, anymore. Dropbox (and almost all other big established storage/sync providers) moved to a new territory (market) called Content Collaboration Platform. This contains applications which provide comprehensive capabilities that support use cases from productivity and collaboration to content protection and infrastructure modernization. As some of you already mentioned, there are several reasons for it:

1. File storage and syncing is commodity. It is quite easy (compared to what was 5-10-15 years ago) to create a sharing & syncing capability software. Also, there are AWS/Azure as infrastructure so no one needs to handle this part of the business.

2. These big providers move to small-medium business and enterprise sector from personal users. It easy to understand, an enterprise contract with 5000+ users a year is much more profitable than acquiring loads of personal users who do not want to pay at all most of the times.

3. Lastly, big companies want to buy an integrated solution, which handles not just one thing well™, but contains extended functionality and support external providers. In Dropbox's case its file commenting, Zoom & Slack integration, etc.

Network scientist Zsolt Barabási said [1] that in his latest book that networking is one of the most important thing to do, if you want to be successful.

Of course, first you need to get some valuable skills, but especially in careers where the performance can’t be ordered (e.g: art, design) the only thing that matters is to know people who are well known.
