Reminds the sand trafficing espicode from NPR Planet Money: Peak Sand https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/07/13/628894815/epis...

>A few years ago, an entire beach in a remote area of Jamaica vanished. Thieves dug up hundreds of tons of sand and hauled it away in dump trucks in the middle of the night. The sand--white, powdery, Caribbean sand--was worth about a million dollars.

Thie reminds me Chinatown, which is inspired by California water wars.

For me, it’s ask questions in r/ask Reddit or r/eli5 if you are not in a hurry of getting the answers.

Asking questions in forums has been a habit I picked up recently.

The process of writing it down and describing it to other people really helps a lot than I expected.

This somehow reminds me when China banned Google.

"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

It's my go-to site before buying any camera related stuff.

But I guess it's not making any money for Amazon.

Do you know what kind of website would make money?

The buzzfeed style equipments websites. Those full of lists of top 10 best vlog/instagram cameras/tripods. Each item on the list starts with some affiliated links, beneath them are some bullets of pros cons, and every couple of graphs there is a google ads.

I feel exhausted reading them.

Please can anyone recommend alternatives?

That's what the people want.

Reading is a dying art. No time; everyone is too busy and the Internet is too vast. It's all about videos and twitter-sized text.

This reminds me the movie Barbarian.

It is so often I see kids sitting in buggy chairs wearing headphone with a phone.

It always makes me really really sad and I don't know why.

My colleague told me they started with zero screen time for their kids but eventually give up because sometimes it's the only way to have a quite dinner.
