Two stories today about UAE selling off two huge NYC real estate investments

One story is about Abu Dhabi government fund & Tishman Speyer putting the Chrysler Building on the market - Abu Dhabi Investment Council had paid $800 million for a 90% stake
therealdeal.com/2019/01/09/abu…
And a majority stake in 330 Madison Ave owned by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is heading to the sales market at pricing expected to reach nearly $1 billion
nypost.com/2019/01/08/mos…
I don't know that these two sales have any significance, but the size of the deals seems notable and worth keeping an eye on.

Remember this from January?
The Data That Turned the World Upside Down

#psychometrics #OCEAN #Psychographics motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/…
The "Big Five" (OCEAN) has become the standard technique of psychometrics. But for a long time, the problem was data collection, because it involved filling out a complicated, highly personal questionnaire. Then came the Internet. And Facebook. And Kosinski
Kosinski and his team could now ascribe Big Five values based on how many profile pictures/contacts a person has on Fb, but we also reveal something about ourselves even offline.
