No. More justified in a smaller company /not/ less. But very, very little more. Dumping mailchimp? Ok. Dump google? Good luck with that one. You see it?

Is that the same one that was on the stanford edx clone site? edx seems to be putting more behind a paywall and jacking up the price in a way that's pretty disappointing. That one is what $150 for the computer to tell you if the number

It's time for SMS to BE SMS. Always. If I want to use something else, I'll use it. If a contact of mine who uses apple tries to SMS me that should work as expected. Always. It _never_ does. Apple intercept it and screw it up to tr

It would be a lot more convincing if they said they put a team on to it to investigate extensively and didn't find anything indicating it was exploited. Absence of evidence IS some evidence of absence if you look thoroughly. It sure is
