These numbers make Uber's losses in the beginning seem like a trip to the grocery store.

https://xkcd.com/221/

Given that 4 is the value shown in this well known XKCD panel, it almost seems like a (im)practical joke or trolling.

From the article: "...file sharing involves SharePoint for some reason, and search is abysmal."

Search in Teams is like a really bad joke, practically non-existent.

Why does the audience need a proxy?

Bringing Amanda Seyfried in as a primary character was unnecessary as was the entire third hour of this movie.

>> It's still a documentary.

Then what was the point of bringing Amanda Seyfried into the "documentary" as a major character?

What does Amanda Seyfried actually have to do with the story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos?

They show Holmes reluctantly watching the movie "The Dropout" which is a dramatized version of "the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes" starring Amanda Seyfried as Holmes.

Later in "You Can See Everything" Amanda Seyfried literally becomes an important character in the documentary including voicing her opinions and impressions, arguing with and challenging Holmes' husband Billy (they have just met for the first time) and talking at length with Fielder about his opinions and impressions.

This inclusion of Seyfried in this manner ruined for me any chance of this film feeling like a "documentary." This is the point for me where the film went "off-the-rails" and begins to feel like a very confusing experiment in audience manipulation.

It suddenly feels contrived because of this.

I celebrated 20 years since my last drink on Monday of this week.

People who want to drink--should drink.

People who don't want to drink but find that they keep doing it anyway, might want to check out what AA has to offer. It worked for me when nothing else did.
