hah. On a serious note, wonder how long before someone converts this an app.

-edit- oops, didn't see the other comment to the parent comment.


tldr; Use link below and your account will not be affected when the amount of free storage changes from 15 GB to 5 GB and the +15 GB camera roll bonus is discontinued.*

Looks like it's an OAuth2 client application that you grant permission to top out the reduced free storage with an equal amount of bonus storage.


I don't understand what you are trying to explain.


You have to sign up for OneDrive Preview to keep your current (free) storage limit. OneDrive Preview adds the storage back to your account.


Fixing the first problem and finding alternatives I think is far more easier to fix than the second. We have had several thousand years to figure-out a solution to the problem of rulers politicians and yet, after all this time, here we are still displeased with those in power.

I think the following http://raincatcher.org/what-we-do/ is a really interesting solution to the fresh water problem.

Here's a video of what they do. https://vimeo.com/29880712 skip to 1.38 if you are impatient.


Try explaining that to management types. The whole problem with "Enterprise Software" is its targeted at the manager types, you tell them they are now going to able to generate 10 reports, tell them there's an app for it the would throw money at you. They don't care about the people who has to deal with the system, they don't care it takes 10 more additional steps to do something that was really easy to do, throw in a bunch of jargon and tell them its enterprise ready and cloud based, with a touch of big data. BAM! sold!


To me the biggest problem with web development is, not that it's too big. I feel the information is really disorganised.

For instance, take most of the front-end projects; finding good documentation is a fool's errand.

I think we as a community need to put more effort in to making our projects easier to understand, we need to bring the barrier to entry as low as possible, we need to stop making assumptions that everyone starting out with our projects are people with 5-6 years experience, help people figure out where to look for information related to our project.

For example, a good project I really appreciate is, redux; the documentation that comes with the project is really amazing, I mean look at this, https://github.com/rackt/redux/blob/master/README.md They have put so much effort in to making their project really easy to understand.

Don't get me wrong, I love googling for information and learning new things, but some projects are pure annoying when you are trying to understand them for a quick poc or a Saturday evening hack.

We can't stop progress, its not fair if we ask others to pause progress just so we could catch up, just so it makes our jobs become easier. We are developers, we love experimenting, we love learning more, and we love making things work better, but lets improve on one little detail; lets help each-other out more.


Because we are lazy, and everyone hopes it will help us become even lazier.


Sorry for the silly question. Is it possible to have an internet without ISPs?


Some cities have created public-owned ISPs like Chattanooga's fiber network (community fiber[1]).

You could also become your own ISP.

Is it possible to have internet without internet service providers? That would be technically impossible ;)


Isn't it sad, that we know non of this makes no sense at all. Yet, you and I, we do everything to get our hands on some of those "non-synthetic stones" in form or another.


Microsoft being Microsoft.

I have 20GB worth files in there, all I have to start moving because Microsoft loves their customers.


Honestly I don't know why, but that got me laughing more than I expected.
