Reasons vary. I know someone working in HR at a famous Japanese company. Rotating employees to offices around the world generally falls into 3 categories- 1. Giving experience, or rewarding good workers the company would like to develop into management. 2. Temporarily getting rid of useless or unliked employees without needing to fire them, which is very difficult in Japan. 3. Specialists for specific projects where hiring US citizens would be too much of a hassle. Employees in category 2 tend to be assigned to developing or undesirable countries, but some do come to the US too.

This case is the criminal's hail mary pass to get being caught red-handed thrown out of court.

If an illegal hop was made to find the bank robber, he gets to walk free. If police are permitted to do this style of search, the bank robber's guilty verdict is upheld.

The results have an important cascade through the criminal justice system.

Geothermal developments are legit. Essentially, most of the US geothermal sites were built/drilled back in the 70s and 80s. Hydraulic fracturing and some of the other oil and gas drilling advancements of the past 30 years have yet to be applied to geothermal. There is room for a new player to tie these things together, especially if they can build turnkey plants or sell steam to existing sites on long term contracts (they plan for both). However, they aren't worth anywhere near $3B.

The fundamental issue is that theaters need to generate a certain amount of revenue per square foot to be profitable. People "rent" small amounts of space for a couple hours then they leave. But theaters are massive buildings, the desirable time slots are finite, and even on a good day it's a struggle to pack a theater. Somebody has to pay for everything and it seemes to be a figure that requires high gross profits and extensive upselling to get to that number.

WordPress developers are very hive minded. Marketing this new cleanroom CMS as a successor to WordPress is a brilliant move.

If I can have my AI engine of choice design up a new site, and emdash has the MCP engine to control the CMS side, deploying a website just became even simpler than the various drag and drop wordpress page editors.

All I want it to do is find gas stations ahead of me in the direction I'm travelling.

There are zero cases where I want to turn around and backtrack my path unless there are no other options.

Repeat for "fast food ahead of me", "starbucks ahead of me", etc.
