At least here in Sweden you have much more detailed POI info in the countryside, like rune stoned and such. In Google Maps they can be impossible to find, and even the small path leading to them do not appear.

But it obviously is, this is the whole point of advertising, and why advertising messages don't focus on information but on emotions. This is why many things are not allowed to advertise in many countries (not only topics like cigarett

There is more emigration and immigration in Sweden than in the US (relative to the population). I don't see why scale would matter that much. If it works for 12 millions why wouldn't it work for 2times more, or 10 times more ? Or

I don't think geo redundancy helps much. Your data is more likely to be corrupted by some software of the provider than some random storm, or by some common hardware used by the same provider, If you need to be safe about your data, yo

Depend of the country, in France it's to the center of the earth, which means you receive some money when they build a metro under your house becaude they buy a right to use part of your property.

If it's not in archive, you will NOT find the old HTML at all, whereas old PDFs are usually easy to find because someone will have it. In addition saving web pages is a huge pain with all the scripts and CSS to save as well, so then

I doubt it, in France liberal is used only regarding economics and in that case it refers to neo liberalism. In Sweden nobody agrees on the term and for some it seems to be a synonym of libertarian.

I think here deserve is the wrong term, semantically speaking. Investors do not decide who "deserves" more money, they decide who GETS it. Deserving is more a moral term and makes things confusing: a company could deserve the mone
