Only just realized that USA, Japan, and Sweden account for 36% of the respondents in the GFS! Be careful to weight your data the way you should....
And here's @Stanford's apology and reversal, too many days later to be helpful for me. And given that they had prepared instructions for the transition, and call this a mistake only based on the response, I'd guess it was their intentional choice. Bizarre.

Way to piss off your alumni, @Stanford @StanfordAlumni !
Did any other Stanford alumni get a zero-notice bricking of their entire Google Drive today?
With no prior notice, I got this.
There's some grace time for email, but not my files: nothing in my Drive can be edited anymore!!

Jessica and Chris, it sounds like you're normal people doing a job any of us can identify with (like Artemis). Thanks for the unfiltered audio feed!
Keep up the amazing work!
