Road-Tripping with the Amazon Nomads
- gumby 7y agoA fascinating example of arbitrage. There are a lot of horrible (Uber, counterfeiters exploiting Amazon's product co-mingling etc etc) and horrifying (DoorDash) examples of the modern economy, but this seems like a great example of computing both at the edge (phones) and cloud (amazon's pricing database) for the benefit of everyone (retailer gets rid of those jeep toys; buyer elsewhere can find a jeep toy, and person driving around gets paid to facilitate). I love it.
