This lumps all the people who die by suicide into a single category. People commit suicide for various reasons. Some of them do it to stop suffering, as the article says. Some do it out of sheer vengeance. Some do it as part of a pact. Some

If you plan to sell ads on the blog or sell the blog itself at a future point of time, you will need to use some company acceptable to them. Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, .... If it is just to know more about your visitors, then there

They do have consumer products too, but by and large, yes. And a lot of consulting-oriented stuff too. I was making the point that they have a solid platform available to build almost anything the FAANG companies have. Of course, they will

If it is a large chunk [as you said] of your hard earned money, do not shell it out unless you are really sure. In the worst case, you will still have your money with you. In the other case, you lose your hard-earned money forever, plus tim
