Google Analytics gives you insights on what pages people visit, how long they spend, what kind of browsers and devices they use. That can give them data on what pages are important to customers and what screen sizes to support

Forest management can help prevent wildfires by thinning the amount of fuel available for blazes to feed upon. But forestry experts often suggest the removal of undergrowth that doesn’t yield timber

You're right. Unfortunately, open-source has proven time and time again to be unsustainable and burn maintainers out

That's a good reason for people to take the money they would have spent buying a proprietary solution and instead donate that money to an open source project. For me it's not always about the cost, but what I get out of it. I'd rather the money go to the community and better it.

 

About 74,000 households in Seattle are car-free, making up more than 20% of all Seattle households. A modern high point for the city’s car-free household rate, Seattle now ranks 9th among large U.S. cities by car-free household rate and 2nd for large U.S. cities west of the Mississippi behind only San Francisco [...].

Renters lead the way with 1 in 3 rental households having no cars, a strong data point to support easing or eliminating expensive parking requirements for new housing developments. By contrast, only 5% of owned households were car-free [...]

Firefox marks certain pages as privileged and no extensions will run on them. You're probably encountering this issue. You can see the full list here.

 

It's a proprietary, long-range, low-latency wireless protocol. I won't be adopting it even though I have a bunch of Unifi equipment, but it's interesting to see what protocols are springing up.
