I mostly use it to set alarms and reminders, it's much easier to say "Remind me to do something in an hour" than go find the app, set up the correct time, and write the description.

If they truly knew half of what these applications were doing with their "private" information, I can guarantee less than half would continue using it.
A business that needs 100TB (or whatever) has more to spend, and is much less sensitive to price.
So far, I really enjoy how the UI seems consistent, compared to AWS where different products seem like they are from a completely different service.
As for the products themselves, everything just works. For their Kubernetes platform, GKE, they provide an excellent UI to do almost anything. Auto scaling any workloads, deploying new workloads all through the UI (no manual YAML creation), performing rolling updates, it all just works.
Their Stackdriver product automatically logs all output from your GKE pods, and can even alert you with a concise summary of crashing errors (I caught a couple panics from a Go service with it).
Overall I’d say it’s been great so far, and much cheaper than AWS. I haven’t used Azure in any capacity, so I’m unsure how it would stack up.
And for those who have used both, which would you go with today?
I'm sure Google could still narrow it down using other factors, like screen size, but they're not sharing that with Analytics users.
I'm interested in how you plan on monetizing, enterprise support?
As a side note, on Firefox I'm seeing horizontal and vertical scroll bars on the numbered steps section.
Apple is a public company with an obligation to its shareholders to make money, not pay erroneous taxes.
The whole purpose of crowdfunding is to hedge the financial risks of bringing a product to market. This is something that "3 college kids" should consider (and may even be necessary), but a business with hundreds of millions in revenue should be able to avoid for the consumer's sake.
Why should we, as the consumer, accept to pay for something before it's even made? If the product ends up being subpar, the company has nothing to lose, so what's their incentive to make a quality product?
I'm not coming from a legal standpoint, this is just my opinion, of course they can do whatever they want.
Coin mining uses a lot of resources, which costs you electricity and responsiveness (I’d guess).
