IME part of that is wanting to "retire like you're rich". People want to stay in their house near that tech/finance/government hub when they retire even though the property tax alone is more than rent in most cities

Probably very few can guarantee that much. But bondsmen don't have to just cut you loose with zero oversight. For a small slice of the $25m they can hire a team to follow him around 24/7. I assume they also put him in a ankle trac

You'd really want to show that people bought more stuff due to Alexa than they would have otherwise. Tapping out an order on a smart phone is already pretty damn convenient so that's actually a high bar to clear.

Come on now. That seems like an intellectually dishonest example. Do you really think anyone is proposing the pay growth of a janitor should be so high they're getting CEO rates?

They mentioned "switching" which implies an already working solution. Within that context, yeah, maybe wait a few months if you can afford to. Also, once the spec is finalized, there may also be a compliant polyfill available. If
