Doesn’t that enable hostile takeover of land? If I own a school or restaurant, and Apple wants to replace it with a store, they can place a bid such that I can no longer afford the taxes and am forced to sell to them.

Wouldn’t such a system just exacerbate business and the wealthy being able to snatch up land?

ubersuggest has a good backlink and keyword volume database for its price. But ahrefs is still the most comprehensive (just expensive).

It depends on the person. In my country it is popular for the poor to sell flowers or snacks at stoplights, and I usually always buy flowers. But in the US it seems most at stoplights are bumming for drugs or alcohol.

That said, I think donating is something that helps you more than them. Generosity makes you feel good, and it lightens your mind.

CloudFlare. They log unique hits for free, which is enough for me to calculate my conversion rate and see the result of my marketing efforts. In over a decade of working with SaaS companies I’ve never once seen concrete action taken as a result of traffic logs, despite countless hours spent analyzing it.

I scan everything with my phone and store in iCloud. I shred everything except what must be kept as paper originals (a few government documents). I stick this all into a single folder, and this folder is small since there are few documents that must be kept as paper originals.

It’s 2021, there’s no reason to have a filing cabinet of paper documents.

Here’s my latest browser issue that drove me crazy: In Safari the TextMetrics.actualBoundingBoxRight returned from CanvasRenderingContext2D.measureText() includes dangling spaces, and Chrome does not. So you’ll get different text measurements if the text has a space on the end, which broke my app’s logic of rendering multiline rich text in Chrome. Ugh.

I would listen to your users, and think about your customer acquisition channels. Unless you rely heavily on SEO for customer acquisition, I doubt it’s going to be an issue. People are still going to call Facebook “Facebook”. Nobody calls Google “Alphabet”.

Sure, but then there’s no point to a peer-to-peer decentralized cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency is a peer-to-peer decentralized network. The government can’t stop me from sending or receiving cryptocurrency.
