The auto dealer's profit model is to keep the lights on with new car sales and make the real money through their service department. Easily broken things equal more money for the service department. I hate all the new stuff on cars bec

I would argue that the majority of AWS' profits come from inefficiencies of their customers. They know, and try to educate. The crazy thing is, even used inefficiently, the Cloud is still a very good value prop for a lot of businesses.

It's a Sinclair news thing. If you don't watch your local Fox affiliate for your local news, you'd never see it, regardless of what part of the country you're in.

Question since you're an ex-Googler: is part of the scheme is to segment the traffic by revenue generation. I bet that paying customers get the priority, and free services get de-prioritized. Is there any other analysis as well? For e
