    I'm looking forward to the latter the most. It sucked having my chat history not be transferable between ecosystems.

    Our future plans include letting you save a secure backup archive to the location of your choosing, alongside features that let you transfer your encrypted message history between Android, iOS, and Desktop devices.

    The emphasis is on clusters of town centres with high stories which is not exclusive to the commercial business district.

    The metro region, within the individual suburb cities consists of clusters of high rise buildings. Most of which are 120m (400ft) or higher. The areas most closely related to this in Europe consists generally of low-rise skylines, including along arterial corridors.

    Metro Vancouver encompasses this so greatly the architecture phenomenon is called Vancouverism.

    It is characterized by a large residential population living in the city centre with mixed-use developments, typically with a medium-height, commercial base and narrow, high-rise residential towers, significant reliance on mass public transit, creation and maintenance of green park spaces, and preserving view corridors.

    Coincidentally enough, City of Vancouver's only Costco is located downtown underneath the viaducts and, you named it, residential high-rise towers above. "The first Costco warehouse to be built as part of a residential and commercial project."

    I don't see how this makes your information more anonymous when it links to one centralized domain that doesn't masquerade with others. I believe a more effective approach is using an email alias,...

    I don't see how this makes your information more anonymous when it links to one centralized domain that doesn't masquerade with others. I believe a more effective approach is using an email alias, ideally with multiple users linked to the one domain - or at least appears to be, with software like addy.io or SimpleLogin.
