I really wish that every single compression-related blog post would stop referencing Silicon Valley.
That's nothing compared to LenPEG 3 http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/lenpeg.html >For the standard test image the new LenPEG 3 compresses the image so efficiently that data storage space is actually freed on the computer right up to the entire capacity of the storage devices

don't get this one, where is the code and how can I try it out? if it's so good I would assume dropbox have found it instead of doing lepton.

Is the image Lenna? If yes, delete all other data on the computer's storage devices. If no, proceed to the next step..."

Does Dropbox do block or file-level deduping?

Saving almost a quarter of space for most images stored is something that truly gives a competitive edge. (I say most because people probably primarily have JPEG images).
Especially considering how many images are probably stored on services like Dropbox.
And they just gave it away to their competitors.
