You are completely mistaken if you think adding a subscription-only would not reduce usage of WhatsApp by 10x at least. I am an Indian (WhatsApp's biggest market by far), and know for a fact that hardly 1% of people using it right now

You are missing headings in Row 2 & 3. I think you are talking about Column E (Privacy-> Logging ->Activity->"DNS Requests") ? Since it falls under "Logging", you want it to be Red for YES & Green for NO

Why doesn't Google Photos work for you ? It does provide all the features you mention (depending on definition of "Nice gallery feature" of course), and on top of it really awesome search features. Full disclosure: I work at

A quasi-polynomial time algorithm is one which has a worst case running time of 2^[O((log n)^c)], for some fixed constant 'c'. Polynomial time (PTIME) algorithms are a special case (where c=1). "Greater metropolitan area&quot

"$44 to get $40" => $4 in fees for using another bank's ATM. This is very much within the ballpark range for USA at least. Sidenote: Usually such fees are O(1), i.e., independent of the actual amount being withdrawn (and
