"At Plaid we provide real-time data analysis of over 6.8 billion online users" err what? Not even Facebook has 6.8 billion users. Or probably not even CloudFlare. Is this part of the Visa acquisition? Maybe they'd have that many users but I still kind of doubt "online users."
- stevewodil 7y agoYeah I thought the total number of people with internet access was under 5 billion. But also, it's a different company, not the fintech Plaid
- dzonga 7y agoI think they mean, Plaid the Japanese company. one of the biggest analytic firms in asia. & 6.8bn is probably users aggregated over their customers
- ineedasername 7y agoAnd they really don't provide real-time data analysis of 6.8 billion users. At any given time, there aren't even 6.8 billion people awake on the entire planet. Their real-time analysis would be on a vastly smaller subset. Is this too much of a nitpick?
- hazz99 7y agoThem being asleep is still realtime data. The realtime aspect comes from finding out as soon as they wake up.
