During a bear market or temporary downturn induced squeeze, these sort of relationships and contracts may not just seem more attractive but financially necessary.

- ashwagary 5y ago>also to the military. No need to put it that way as if you don't understand the priorities. We'll check back in a few years and see if I'm wrong about the trajectory. Btw, I've been right about most tech companies, 2013-2015 leaks made that clear.
- Dylan16807 5y agoThe priority of getting publicity? But priority doesn't really matter when they're selling the same thing they sell to everyone else, and it's a small sliver of their business. Making a military-spec computer vision system is very different from providing internet to many people including a military.
- ashwagary 5y ago>The priority of getting publicity? >But priority doesn't really matter Priority does matter and it should be common sense that connecting an army to the internet is a higher priority than connecting civilians, especially during a conflict/war. Let's be serious, anyone reading this thread will understand the point that you seem to be trying to avoid.
