With the rise of cybersecurity threats from personal phones to computers, note-taking app Evernote bets its cloud platform can handle those issues.
“Part of our move to the public cloud was to really, really strengthen our already strong security, so that was a big step for us,” CEO Chris O'Neill told Cheddar. “The trust in security is really crucial because people trust their lives to Evernote.”
The company launched its Google Cloud Platform last February, moving 5 billion notes and 5 billion attachments to the cloud in 70 days. Evernote says that the new system encrypts user data at all times, offers improved disaster recovery planning, and will prove to be “faster and more reliable.”
The company’s platform supports 220 million subscribers, 83 percent of whom are international.

Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank.

The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
