Questions that come to mind:

Was Steve Jobs rich in 1982?

In 1982, was the cost of a "real" Tiffany lamp within the reach of someone at Jobs's 1982 wealth/income level?

What are the chances that the item Jobs owned was a knockoff or a mass-produced item?

I imagine that Steve Jobs was the kind of person who would buy a $5000 lamp even if he was only making $20,000 a year.

  > In 1978, at age 23, Jobs was worth over $1 million (equivalent to $4.82

So not the "someone paid $4million for an (specific) item with a celebrity connection" that I thought it was.

As a Norwegian I respect Denmark for putting its people first.

While there is nothing nearly as extensive as the Path, there are a few isolated underground plazas that each connect to a handful of adjacent high-rise buildings. The ones that immediately spring to mind are the Penn Station complex under Madison Square Garden (and Penn Plaza office building among others), and Grand Central Terminal. I think i've seen others, but I can't remember details.

I don't think they're as commonly thought of as a "I'll use this to walk from point A to point B while avoiding traffic/weather" option, but for people in the connected office buildings, they provide (somewhat overpriced) options for lunch/shopping as well as public-transit access without the need to go outdoors.

Initializing a new (or power-washed) android/ChromeOS device _requires_ a Google account, so if you don't have one (or claim not to) they device initialization process will generate a new Google account for you. Even if there's no phone number or SIM card in the device.

I've had a number of Android/ChromeOS devices over the years, and I've had each one generate a new Google account. None of these accounts have phone numbers associated with them.

I generally don't use these accounts for much more than downloading free apps from the Google Play store -- maybe more extensive use would trigger a "You must add a phone number to this account to proceed"?

It's been a while since I've had to look at Android in any detail, but I remember that not being necessary, and a quick search online suggests that to still be the case today.

If there's a non-obvious workaround, why not post a link to it?

"Just Google it" isn't as easy as it used to be...

This actually makes it possible to transfer your phone number between SIM cards or even operators, and means your cell phone is blissfully unaware of its own phone number.
