1729 Billion Users Table: A Review

Image
Here is my review of 1729’s The Billion User Table . I do like the unique take for measuring when a company is too big, with too much potential direct impact on individuals, based on the size of their Users table. I think one really positive benefit of this measure, even if it is not used actually used for anti-monopoly legislation and just for tax or other some other relatively minor regulation, is that it will force companies to ensure their Users table actually reflects real users and not bots and duplicates. It will force a lot of companies to keep their Users table clean and avoid misleading investors about their metrics and projections, most of which are extrapolated from the size of their Users table. One caveat, even though obvious but important to mention for those with an enterprise architecture background, is that when the article mentions Users table, in essence it is only talking about it from a logical architecture perspective and not from a technical / implementation arc
