I think that Facebook and other companies need to consider that it's better to change nothing than add the wrong feature. This blurs the lines too much with Snapchat. If I still used Instagram when they added this feature, I would st

If you download Google Maps, this is probably even lower. I had maps downloaded before Pokemon Go came out, and my data usage is below 20 mb.

There is no expectation that every app you use is perfectly optimized, and it's likely that none of them are.

This is what the term "nanny state" was invented for, right? Why is your data usage the govt's, Niantic's, or a telco's responsibility?

They can only target the common denominator of file names. It would be safe to avoid all special characters.

Lisp languages are easy to build because of their simple syntax. It's also easy to use a Lisp to build a Lisp, since it is homoiconic (this is what you're doing with the macro system.)
