Comment if WhatsApp number == FB profile number ...? (Score 2) 31

Seriously, there's nothing difficult about that. Load up list of WhatsApp users, and db lookup FB user's phone numbers from their own db. Or one tiny bit more complex if needing to account for missing country codes in the FB phone number.

Even without tech knowledge, knowing ppl provide their phone numbers in FB and knowing that can be matched to WhatsApp doesn't require any sort of leap. Aargh.

Agreed!

A better way to put that into perspective would be to mention that that Moon's orbital path is 2,412,517.5 km (or 1,499,070 miles) and that if it were orbiting the Earth at the same speed as this star, it would orbit every 11.5 minutes (2,412,517.5 km / 12,600,000 km/hr), or 5 times an hour.

That's for all of them. Individual fonts are reasonably and typically sized. Bear in mind, having these many more glyphs for so many languages does require them to be bigger.
