As a tech/coding newb I was assuming it related to speed of signal travel to approximate 500 ish miles. Thanks so much for confirming it. I‘m going to share this one with my sons who will appreciate the humour.

Are super-platforms such as FAANG and BATH(Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei) Army, Navy, Air Forces, & Marines proxies on the digital layer? It certainly seems like the world is bifurcating between FAANG and BATH for that reason.

I support the removal of the bus. McCandless’s tale is a cautionary one. Monuments to the unprepared shouldn’t be beacons for more of the same to follow. I’m all for freedom, including freedom to fail. But living in an area with regular fat

Great result. But worth some context. We were the 60th country with a reported case, providing us time to prepare. We are a remote country with a lot of low population density space. We had time and space.

Interesting read. The Walther PP series was a good future focused “fashionista” choice for Bond in film. But I do think for the Bond character from the book, as well as the reality of the 50’s-60’s period, a small revolver would haves suite

Some possibly relevant context, or just interesting anecdotes of Amazon in Europe: When Amazon.fr opened back in 1998/1999 in Orleans, there was industrial action on pretty much Day 1. It kind of fit the French stereotype of industrial

Pretty cool. Non-MOOC, live 6 week course. Even if just a one-off, it’s moving the needle towards the Lambda School live model.

In 2010, my home of Christchurch has a serious earthquake. In 2011, it suffered another far more serious earthquake. The 1st one provided a full dress rehearsal for the 2nd one. I wonder of the same will be said for pandemics? Coronavirus i

I think subscription-like leasing is an option worth exploring. But I’m thinking more along the lines of aftermarket hardware/software providers certified and brought onto a manufacturer’s platform marketplace.

Profit margins on new durable goods are dropping, often approaching dealer cost. So greater reliance on service profit is existential. This has been an ongoing shift for about 20 years.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder how farm equipment manufacturers will manage the necessary transition in their dealer franchise model?
109.
by chriselles 7y ago
That makes sense. But I wonder how the manufacturers will manage the transition of their large global franchise model to supporting “farm equipment as a service”? It will be pretty disruptive to the franchise network.

A big part of this is the result of manufacturers trying to protect the profits of themselves and their dealer networks. Dealer network profit is increasingly reliant and dependent on service income. So attempts to lock in serviceability ar
