What you're describing sounds an awful lot like a barebones obsidian vault.(https://obsdian.md)
I'm not familiar with the OP's notion of a "zettlegarden" but I get the impression that they want something a bit more than just markdown files. Perhaps the idea is to increase the notion of connection between captured notes, whether intentional created, or "serendipitous".
Because "kilos" already had a meaning outside of computer file size, but "megs" did not. So we understand "megs" to be megabytes, but "kilos" is usually a measure of weight. So there was a different shorthand for "kilobytes".
Now, maybe I'm the minority here, but I've not heard many people use the shorthand "K's" for kilobytes, but I have heard "kb's" as a shorthand, and "kb" would be pluralized in the same way as "megs". "Forty kb's" is definitely something I've heard before.
Similarly, we would not say "The file is forty Ms", which would be parallel to forty "K's".
For clarity, maybe we should just start saying "that file is thirty-nine point oh six two five kibs". Soon followed by "I have zero point zero friends".
What does this marketing even mean? What makes it a "safe space"? Is it anonymous? Is it private? Does anyone get to actually hear the podcast? How are you "safe" if you air your unedited thoughts? Long on promise, short on information. Pass.
And, the privacy policy seems to be stolen/ copied from thedrive.ai.

yeah, that's seriously old, and perhaps even for 2018 that's a pretty awful choice lol. nowadays (for past several years really, since about 2020-2021, when huge notched/cutout screens really hit the lowest segments) you'd be able to get a pretty damn good phone at that price, with a huge screen and a huge battery (and maybe even quite a lot of storage, like 128gb options). it'd actually be interesting to see a comparison with a modern $100 phone.
The CEO will be forced to spend an entire meeting in a remorseful mood, do you know how hard that is? He will need a raise due to the amount of trauma that will be experienced.
Kinda, it's up today but DBX has been pretty flat all year after a big drop in March. YTD it's down around 10% while SPY is up over 20%, layoffs seem like a desperation move along with their AI strategy.
I don't completely disagree with your take, but people in this world have it pretty good. Most of the employees being laid off were taking home good paychecks for years. They had good benefits and they paid into retirement. According to the article, the company is going to pay on average around $125,000 in severance per employee.
Contrast this with the staff member at a university making $40,000 a year that gets laid off with little notice and no severance. Or the guy working in manufacturing that gets laid off because a major customer changed distributor so the company has to reorganize. Those are people having their lives upended.
That some people losing their jobs have it better than others has nothing to do with the hypocrisy of a CEO claiming to take full responsibility while suffering zero consequences.
$125,000 of severance for high-salary employees that have large retirement accounts isn't "upending" their lives. Complaints about a severance package like that belong in the same bin as billionaires complaining about paying taxes.
White-collar Dropbox employees have infinitely more in common with minimum wage hourly workers than any billionaire. Not just qualitatively in terms of freedom, but even quantitatively: the relatively extreme 10x difference of a $40k versus $400k salary is dwarfed by someone with a net worth 5000x the high end of that range.
As someone who has worked for less than $40,000 a year, and someone who now makes more than the average pay of someone at DropBox--I'm not sure it's a useful conversation to say "Hey, someone else has it worse." Yes, it'd suck to be a laid-off staff member of a university making $40,000. It also sucks to be a laid-off cashier at a grocery store making $16,500.
This talk of money also ignores the negative effects on mental health from being laid-off.
But the most important point here is that a CEO making an obscene amount of money takes "full responsibility" and... still gets paid an obscene amount of money. Easy to take responsibility if you have 0 consequences.
> I'm not sure it's a useful conversation to say "Hey, someone else has it worse."
That's wasn't the point of my comment. The point was the $125,000 severance package. You have someone making $40,000 a year getting laid off with little notice and no money to live on. That's bad. Then you have someone getting laid off but the company is giving them another $125,000. To the extent that that's bad, it's something that most folks could never dream of.
