I'm so glad you put that </s> at the end. I definitely see them jumping to make those inroads. It's not hard to self operate this stuff now that distributed computing is cheaper (eg. $50 raspi 2018 = 10+ $2000 boxes 1998). How was Google built, lots of commodity hardware you say? Why can't a neighborhood watch-like group operate a p2p network of RasPis located in homes of volunteers, using enough replication and a signing policy with YubiKeys or something, and operating guides and maintenance kits? Self-promotion, I started working on something like this in Nov. This morning I awoke to a map of my block covered in blue saying a warning had started 20 minutes ago, in a Facebook post from a foodie. I like to think those friendly warning sirens that blare at noon would tell me something, to begin with. Then those loud alerts that go to my phone no matter how many times I disable the setting. Then maybe text blast, granted I don't know all the ones I should be on. I just had a needless bpm added to my heart rate. All notifications are disabled on my mobile except calls; much as people depend on them I won't let myself. Two days of disaster and everyone's battery is dead, along with ability to search the web for life skills and claim to have invented fire. Tangent, but for the doubters, I inspect routes before I drive and know my way around blind after just a few thousand miles in the city over 4 years (typical commuter is 10k/yr+). And literally nobody of consequence has complained about responding to things a few times per day in batches (around lunch, late afternoon/5). People think I'm too intense, actually I think they're just addicts with no attention span. So one can see why I don't want to turn on Notifs for an advertising network in case there's something urgent. Oh hey, false alarm, buy some stuff and surrender some power... [just click here :D]
