So you're advocating we should trust the book vendor?
- godisdad 10y agoIt's not a matter of "trust" - I don't trust the plumber to fix my toilet more than the rando I can find on Craigslist per se, but I do have the expectation that he intends to continue plumber-ing and will be around to stand by his work in three months time.
- nickbauman 10y agoThis isn't a fair criticism. Amazon is in the Cloud Services business and has a retail business on the side. Look at where their profits are: 66% of Amazon's profits last quarter are from its cloud biz.
- placeybordeaux 10y agoAWS is the cash cow of amazon for now. They get their safest margins there and revenue to match.
- melvinmt 10y agoYes, exactly. That's why GCE should be as important to Google as AWS is to Amazon while arguably both have a different "core business".
- adventured 10y agoAfter ten years of AWS, and with the vast operating income AWS is now providing Amazon - yep.
