    Sad and interesting. I rear ended a vehicle who turned into my lane, and the officer cited the other driver for an unsafe turn. I guess it depends on officer mood and how long the …

    1. People like well targeted ads for their shopping intent. 2. YouTube autoplay and recommendations and subscriptions. And these days, youtube channels are even buying YouTube ads.…

    How do you get to 300M? Is is possible that someone like University of Phoenix might offer $1B for the company? If so, might it be accepted? If so, how much are shares worth? At my…
