Dropbox vs. SugarSync: how to synchronize files into the cloud?
I’m user of both Dropbox and SugarSync; what are these systems? In a nut shell, they’re web services where you can save the files which you wish pe Internet; you save a file on your home computer, and synchronize with another Internet device (like an iPhone); The advantage? You can take the files with you wherever you are, the synchronization is very quick – you just put the files in a folder in the computer and the synchronization is automatic; Details: Cloud Document Storage Comparison – Tech Hottips SugarSync vs Dropbox : The Alternative You Never Asked For Online Storage Services Review 2011 | Best Online File Storage Services | Data Storage – TopTenREVIEWS There are other cloud storage systems for files, you can see here 10 alternatives for Dropbox: Top 10 Dropbox Alternatives to Securely Sync and Share Files Online So , you can try : Dropbox and SugarSync.

Optimism with a grain of salt
My favorite movie is Le Notti di Cabiria; I’ve recommended it to others; some have seen the movie as pessimistic, depressing and sad; I see it as a great hope for life / humanity / purpose of life. The Stockdale Paradox is, in my opinion, on the same side with me. Explained, by Jim COLLINS, the paradox goes like this (details): You must retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties. AND at the same time… You must confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be. This is, in my opinion, the essence of pretty much everything; a hear-tearing paradox leading to hope. PS, 2018.08.03: I’ve first heard this quote at a training with Cătălin Zaharia.
Everybody’s the same
Quote by Penelope TRUNK: We spend our lives finding differences between people to choose teachers, band mates and spouses, so our perception of peoples’ differences is exaggerated… And then Gilbert gets to grapes: “If you spend seven years studying the differences between grapes, no two will look the same to you, but really a grape is a grape.” I like it a lot; by putting things into perspective, „a human is a human”; we’re all, pretty much, the same; OK, there are differences, but, in some perspective, not that big.
My view on „Rencontres” / „Intalniri” / „Meetings” (Passe Partout DP) play
This evening I’ve seen „Rencontres” / „Intalniri” / „Meetings” (Passe Partout DP) play (Passe Partout DP).
The play was written and directed by Dragoș HULUBA and Violeta TOTIR and the stars were the same Dragoș HULUBA and Violeta TOTIR.
Bellow my feed-back.
About „most read” / „most commented” / „recommended” news on HotNews.ro
HotNews.ro, a major news portal in Romania, has one box that always gets my attention: a section with th „most read” / „most commented” / „recommended” news on the web site for the previous 24 hours (or so).
Outsourcing to China
One argument against outsourcing to China is that they provide poor quality labor; but is it a powerful argument? I liked this comment a lot: EN (translated by me): „When the salary difference will be high, this won’t matter. You can’t explain otherwise why so many multinational companies have transferred hundreds of thousands of jobs to India. The reality is that it’s first about the prices, the rest are details which can be surpassed”. RO (original): „Dar in momentul in care diferenta dintre salarii va fi din ce in ce mai mare, acest lucru nu va mai conta. Altfel nu s-ar explica de ce atatea multinationale au transferat sute de mii de posturi in India. Realitatea e ca in primul rand e vorba de costuri, restul sunt detalii care pot fi atenuate.” So, yes, there might be problems with the quality, and Romania may have an edge in here; but for a high price difference, this won’t matter anymore. Simple, isn’t it?
