Costco.com’s inventory is larger than what is in store.

But yes, agree. Now we call it “curated”, but with Costco’s return policy, there’s an actual risk to them for stocking outright garbage, which is a huge value, even if I never return things.

I also think you have to draw a fairly large distinction between private jet and COMMERCIAL AIRLINER.

Costco reviews generally seem more legit.

Anything I can buy at Costco instead of Amazon, I do.

I mean... Aliexpress is Aliexpress US - Amazon is worse since you don't expect the product to be counterfeit, a knockoff or completely gamed reviews.

At least with aliexpress that's exactly what you expect, and exactly what you're paying for.

It either goes up forever or goes to $0. Good luck.

It's not favorites, it's bringing in net new revenue vs existing revenue.

Much easier to give a discount to get something you don't have, then to give a discount to your existing base. Ask your revenue teams in whatever company you're at. No different for state taxes.

This actually looks like a pretty good deal for NC, unlike when Amazon went about it in a distinctly Amazon way and pissed everyone off.

I need to borrow this for 1 hour.

None of those are OXMs and are the end customer. That is totally different than what your original assertion was.

You haven't demonstrated that anyone /is/ entering into contracts with Intel.

Intel has done lots of things that it turns out people didn't want to do (with them).

When you're thirsty, you buy from the person selling water. I don't think you'll find a lot of love lost between the OXMs and nvidia. I'm sure they would love more competitors in the space.

We have people licensing Arm and building interesting CPUs (Ampere).

I'm not sure that the NVIDIA acquisition would be good for the market or for Arm.

There's a sucker born every minute.

Yes, for 40 minutes to 1 hour.

But I bet you still ran forwarders on the old hosts for at least an hour after you cut over DNS.

I'm not sure that's right. By virtue of how caching works, it's significantly less of an issue for very large services which will have absurdly high cache hit ratios all the way out to the edge within the 2.5-5 minute windows just by sheer user volume per 2.5-5 minute window.

It's everyone below that that don't operate very large scale services that will see the benefits from longer TTLs.

Yeah.... but also a good way to get paid for a lot of people who then go on to start up new and interesting things that may or may not get dominated by the big 6.

The amount they pay per stream differs per country too, I think.

Yes, ignoring all other costs isn't great.

Their revenue per subscriber is also substantively lower - including free users, discounted EDU users, and family memberships. Excluding free users, it's probably ~$5 per user.

That being said, Apple Music pays .75p/stream, Tidal is 1.25p/stream. They can probably figure it out.

Doesn't mean you don't end up the product anyway.

Which is the real rub. Paying for a product is no guarantee that your data won't be misused anyway. It's incremental money for the taking for any enterprise.

Officially by whom?

Go look at the UN Council on Human Rights, which is historically a literal who's who of human rights abusers.

The UN Security Council is actually the only UN group that can officially declare Human Rights Abuses... but of course a single veto prevents that.

The ICC has its own host of issues around bias.

I guess my point is most issues are not as clear cut in the moment as they are in retrospect.

Some are clearer than others, of course. But life is messy, and the victors have always written the narrative that past events are judged. It's a relatively recent artifact where we can argue about this stuff in real time.

but also haven't really done much about it right?

We threw some sanctions on them... that appear to be fairly toothless.

I mean... economic might is a version of human rights abuses.

Ask the Cubans.

The are no simple applications of pithy thoughts. The world is messy, subjective and everyone has an inherent bias to their world view. And most importantly, it isn't fair or just. We just hopefully try to do better than yesterday.

Sorry - has something changed with Crimea? Begrudging acceptance seems to be exactly where we're at....

I don't really have a dog in this fight other than to point out your initial post was neither civil nor reasoned - and included not citations or facts.

I'm starting to understand what you're insinuating I think, but you still haven't made your point.

"I'm going to prison, but I'd like to keep my internet"

It looks far from baseless.

I googled - people are attaching their names to this on twitter. It's not anonymous. It's not "I heard he did x".

It's he did X to me.

We'll find out if any of it is true - but I'm going to guess that a lot of it is. Hence, resigning before he can be fired.

Also, Radiolab doesn't seem to be downplaying this: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/note-...

This isn't just TOS though. It's a pretty short and easy agreement that you're accepting.

You'll find a similar concise and clear statement from every broker when you enable margin trading.

Do you have any studies or sources to back this up?

As I understand it, in most EU markets there's no price component, nor much of a choice component and costs haven't skyrocketed.

And yet, you can't buy anti-tank or anti-aircraft weapons.

I don't think that's the clear intention at all.

If that were so clear, we wouldn't have all of the litigation and laws around the 2A as we do.

The 2nd amendment also doesn’t guarantee concealed carry handguns, nukes or RPGs.

You can have long guns, stored properly in NYC afaik.

or need. A retired NYPD cop doesn't need a gun - a bodyguard might.

Often those bodyguards are ex-NYPD, which is how they got the concealed permit in the first place.

The whole point is demonstrating a need for a concealed weapon, not qualification or competency.
