Sweden. As I mentioned, I may have been extrapolating a bit too liberally based on what I know from Sweden and Norway - I should probably have been a bit more specific.

I'm in Stockholm as well, no one outside 'expat communities' has attempted to communicate with me using WhatsApp.

Who knows though, maybe I'm not in tune with the general public any more. I know that basically all of my extended family run on iMessage, and some friends use Facebook Messenger as their lowest common denominator.

I may have been speaking too broadly when mentioning Nordics - I've only heard some rumors from Norway from an acquaintance that lives there, but for Sweden it's definitely the case. I have not found WhatsApp-use to be common here.

That's a very bad call from them. I'm disappointed.

The Nordics are an exception to this - SMS and iMessage are prevalent here.

Because of how property tax works in the U.S, denser areas pay more property tax and cost less in relative terms with regards to infrastructure, so it's a pretty safe bet that he's going to be losing money here.

Except for when the city goes bankrupt, he's not personally on the hook - the tax payers get to absorb that loss instead.

Property tax in the U.S is pretty dumb in general to be honest. Should probably replace it with LVT tbh

Looks vaguely like Stream::peek from Java, I think? There's an equivalent method in Iterator::inspect.

The question still applies. Why should other road vehicles be subsidized?

Why should federal taxpayers subsidize car owners?

Google is not about to sell this data to anyone, the data is the money maker. They sell ads that are targeted based on the data - if they sell the data, they automatically lose their edge.

The 29B would go away if he fucked off, and probably then some.

It's not actually real money, it's estimated net worth based on stock ownership in Meta, of which Mark Zuckerberg is a large enough shareholder to have his actions directly impact its perceived value.

If he quits today, the stock likely tanks. Making an exit and keeping the money in his position is a complicated and delicate affair.
