Amfyon S&P 500 Concentration Approaching 50%

And yet despite those top 10 (40% of the SP500) dropping 15-20% in the recent months, the SP500 barely moved... It surprised me a lot, too. Maybe this is working better than we all thought.

Amfyon Why we use our own hardware

I believe they replicate from NJ to WA (Seattle). At least that's something they spoke about many years ago.

Twitter spaces handled around 500k I believe, and it should be much faster to make Twitter spaces be able to handle a few million users than expanding a real stadium...
