Immigration is permanent residence. You can move somewhere not permanently, like on a temporary work visa - that is an expat. US/UK/Canada have a lot of treaty agreements with other countries, so a Canadian citizenship will essentially allow you into many countries more easily than those coming from a third world country. People from third world countries have to go through a more intensive visa process for temporary residence.

Another reason expat applies generally is because generally an expat from the US does not renounce their US citizenship despite the tax implications due to the need/desire to return home. The US is one of the few countries that will tax a US citizen anywhere in the world, which I think leads to the increased use of the word expat.

You're not supposed to intrinsically have your sense of direction in an unfamiliar location. Some people can do that but assuming you're not paying full attention on your way to a new location it's actually normal and expected to have to get your bearings which means taking a moment to orient yourself and figure out what direction is what. And then it's easy to forget (let's say you step into a store) until you build a sense of landmarks. Also the more dense a location the harder it is because it's more complex.

This is clearly the Samsung interface and thus not stock Android. Doesn't even really look like the same feature.

Most paywalls know this and don't load the content at all. Don't do it because it doesn't work

Specifically, the Board and thus the CEO must maximize company VALUE not profit.

There are other ways to increase company value that do not necessarily result in Q/Q / Y/Y profit increases.

But in the 1970s you get a guy named Milton Friedman who comes along with the concept of shareholder value in a 1970 essay for The New York Times, entitled "A Friedman Doctrine: The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits".[5] In it, he argued that a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders.

So there's been a lot of argument against it since esp as of late, but the economic hegemony still adheres to Friedman's economic principles.
