How can one tell how much is being saved through your service compared to contracting directly with a SaaS (Box, Okta, for example.) keeping in mind, that rarely are list prices what small companies pay to begin with, though admittedly, larger companies can get bigger discounts.

When technical issues come up, does one get support directly from the vendor; if not, how does that work?

How else is the article going to create discord if they can't take a kernel of truth and extrapolate it to make it seem like something bigger?

Being that we are animals, this trait is not restricted to humans. Animals don't observe much when another type of animal huts a different animal but may come to the defense of its own kind, if related.

With 77 Billion they could have:

-Built better transit to North Bay.

-Built/Complete Bart circuit around the Bay Area.

-Built HSR to reach exurbs of Gilroy (S), Tracy (E), and Napa (N).

That would have given breathability to the bay area.

Presumably they'd be used for FEMA-type issues; which are generally about imminent hazards.

> “bombarded” with “thousands of videos, images and livestreamed broadcasts of child sexual abuse, rape, torture, bestiality, beheadings, suicide and murder,”

Those aren't "shitty users" those are vile and criminal people doing extremely horrible things and sharing them. Most or many of those people should be, where possible, referred to local authorities for judicial processing. FB can very well ID these offenders. It's not like they don't collect enough information to know who they are.

>No sane govt will allow a foreign power to literally be able to shutdown one of their cities on a whim.

Hasn't Gasprom done this [cut supply] in the past but continues to have customers in Europe? If it's cheap enough they will probably have customers.

I definitely prefer the old logo. The new one is extremely generic and does not convey any feeling via the logo.

Not everyone in the world wants to or needs to be goal oriented --where goal is something momentous.

If you need RAW file archival, then most photo sites will not work and you will have to use OneDrive, Box, etc. Most free photo sites will convert or require conversion to popular compressed formats. That may be okay with many/most, however, some people will want to retain original files.

Maybe Wired knows that and all they are doing is trying to create discord in order to have more engagement and drive more views.

One "hidden" cost of people over replacement numbers is "footprint". The more people the more we encroach upon wilderness. As people gain purchasing power, the more they plug-in to consumerism. It all adds-up to a leger human foot print on the planet.
