Stop Using ‘Drop-down’
TL;DR: Stop using the word drop-down. Instead choose a term that accurately describes the control you want. I have worked both with native platform developers and web developers. While control names might differ, if a control was functionally the same then it was not an issue. A TextBox, for example,…

Election law experts are questioning the legality of the FBI’s unprecedented seizure of 2020 election ballots in Fulton County, Ga.
in a raid that has further inflamed fears of federal interference in the upcoming midterm elections. 
There is widespread doubt that the records will produce any evidence of prosecutable criminal activity,
and not just because the 2020 election results have been recounted, audited, and litigated to death already. 
But, they warn, 2020 i…

FBI’s Fulton County raid may have been illegal, legal experts warn. But it definitely raises fears for 2026
This is a test run for 2026... Trump could try to seize voting machines or otherwise interfere with state ballot tabulation processes in swing districts around the country.

Evaluating BBRv2 on the Dropbox Edge Network
Nowadays, loss-based TCP congestion controls in general and CUBIC specifically became the de facto standard for the Internet. BBR congestion control challenges the loss-based approach by modeling the network based on estimated bandwidth and round-trip time. At Dropbox, we've been using BBRv1 since 2017 and are accustomed to its pros and cons. BBRv2 introduces a set of improvements to network modeling (explicit loss targets and inflight limits) and fairness (differential probing and headroom for…
