From the 20th or so level of an office building a couple of streets over. Every photo of this seems to be the one from ground level looking up where it looms over you, I feel it is important we have one turning the tables and looking down on it.
Indeed, you will note that they carefully chose the moniker "Daily Active Uniques" and not "Daily Active Users".
I think that speaks volumes, as humans are definitely harder to retain.

Braised in wine, the way they're accustomed to. Attempting to roast the rich doesn't achieve a great result.
Surprisingly, no.
I've got both the first-gen Palma, and a Kindle Oasis (2017).
Ignoring anything that's purely a function of the Palma being significantly newer - has a cool-warm light while that model of Kindle is one colour temperature only, and that it has a faster-refreshing e-ink display, etc - it's still often a more pleasant experience.
The Palma is a little heavier (especially vs the Kindle without its case, which is typically how I use it), but because it's narrower much easier to hold. The Oasis does have the physical page turn buttons, but I never found them to be particularly well placed, always required holding it a bit awkwardly.
It's mildly painful for content that doesn't reflow (like PDFs) due to the phone-like 16:9 aspect, but imho for e-books is the superior experience.
Putting a solar roofs over any open-air carpark you happen to own is just a hilariously easier option. Hell, you could erect these OVER the train tracks.

According to a completely un-sourced picture I found online, one carpark (in the USA) is typically around 5.5 x 2.6m, so if you had even 50 carparks on your site you could have ~715 square metres of panels. More, if you figure a way to cover the aisles between the rows of carparks too.
At the top end of all applicable figures (panel efficiency, solar irradiance, inverter efficiency), that could net you ~160kW at solar midday.
Now on the other side, standard-gauge railway is around 1.4m wide, and maybe you could cram a 1m width of panels between the rails.
That sounds like a lot - 1000 square metres per kilometre, and there are thousands of kilometres of railway lines out there - but it's harder to install, harder to service, gets dirty faster, is liable to get damaged, and now you have to figure out how to extract power from somehing a kilometre long, instead of an area that could be a square only around 35m (~115') on a side (for the above 50 carparks).
I know which one of those I'd want to run the cables for.
As has been pointed out many times when this dumb-ass idea comes up, only once you've exhausted every other possibility (carparks, rooftops, putting panels ABOVE roads/rivers/canals/cycleways/railways) and have literally no other viable installation locations, then we can talk.
While the price is undoubtedly an issue, I'm concerned this wasn't higher up in the article

HALF? Like I get that people are going to sign up to get exposure, but that is a hefty premium for doing very. very little work.
