This literally sounds like apples and apples to me, unless you really think "cloud computing" occurs in space or something. If the servers are in Ireland, then their physical assets are offshore.
- JumpCrisscross 7y ago> If the servers are in Ireland, then their physical assets are offshore This is correct. But the fraction of assets which are physical are high for Halliburton and low for Facebook.
- andrewprock 7y agoData is a physical asset. I'm pretty sure that is their largest asset class.
- ahouse101 7y agoExcept, the vast majority of Facebook's servers aren't in Ireland. They couldn't be for the platform to work. There is a datacenter in Ireland, but there are 11 datacenters in the US. I guarantee the majority of data and compute power is in those US datacenters.
