“Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”

Not just that, but you can put it in front of every Google Maps user.

This is the model being tried at the Miami Brightline station. The owners were (are?): Florida East Coast Industries, which is owned by Fortress Investment Group, which owned by Japanese conglomerate Softbank.

As an insurance policy, where would be the best places to live or buy land now given forecasted trends? I’m primarily thinking of the US, but interested any idea (well, maybe not Siberia…)

Not a specific article, but have you seen: https://longform.org and https://longreads.com

Someone can provide a better explanation, but this is similar to how breaking and entering is illegal, but the same action with a warrant isn’t.

Just to add to your point which covers speculation, options can also serve as an insurance policy (hedge). Have a large exposure to the stock market and are not looking to sell? Buy puts and receive a payout if the market drops (simplified explanation, of course).

I don’t really have a problem with this (as you mention, stores have had their own brands forever), but you may be interested to know that not all Amazon brands are clearly marked and there are a lot of them: https://qz.com/1039381/amazon-owns-a-whole-collection-of-sec...

If you don't mind me asking, what state is this community in? I've been looking for a change and the western states seem appealing. Something like this would factor into my decision.

I imagine it’s redundant because down is the only way you can descend.

Not a specific recommendation, but check out Libby (https://meet.libbyapp.com), you can borrow plenty of audiobooks from your local library for free.

In case you haven't seen it, I think https://www.data.gov/ is an attempt to answer your point about making it "accessible and useful to people." There's room for improvement, but it's a start.

Kindle API

It's the classic innovator's dilemma. ChromeOS was worse/cheaper than the existing options, but good enough for some people/uses.

There could be an additional benefit to Google of having an Android maker that is also strong in the enterprise world (complementing Samsung's consumer strength).

I don't think many (any?) landlords accept payment by credit card. Usually these payment solutions are tied to a bank account where the rules are much different.
