AWS is comparable to GCP revenue not Google Cloud revenue, which includes GSuite (same with Azure whose revenue is mainly Office 365).

There's some evidence: pretty much same platform as 3 should imply roughly the same cost structure for the Y. That+higher price implies higher margin. It would be akin to Performance Model 3 in that sense.

+1. Thanks for the link to the actual article. Don't know why this is downvoted. Clearly more insightful than the MS advertisement spin of the article. Perhaps the original link should be replaced with it.

There has been a resurgence due to the proliferation of more special-purpose processors, like Google TPU or Tesla FSD. I anticipate this trend to continue due to Moore's Law slowdown. However, if you're not really into this, there

Predecessor may imply "worse" or "outdated" (although may not be the intent of the OP). I want to clarify that is definitely not the case: Kubernetes is a joke compared to Borg when it comes to running Google workloads (

You can theoretically turn off your iPhone easily as well. Unless your dumbphone has a removable battery it would be just as difficult to trust it's actually off than a modern phone. But sure, removable battery would be an advantage on

The carriers have the same data for dumbphones as well as smartphones, and I bet Verizon and AT&T are much more cooperative than Google and Apple with blanket requests. If you care about that stuff, you should abandon carrying a phone--

Android has never had good support for small devices, so I don't think that's a huge risk.

Keeping SE supported fragments iOS market and burden the developers. iPhone 8 is now the low-cost iPhone roughly at SE price point with a screen size that you kind of have to support anyway.

I believe the debate was around taxing the "tuition waiver" component of grad students, which grad students never see and is basically moving money from one pocket to another at the university.

While we are at it, pay the grad student more as well. Otherwise, don't be surprised that your good students end up all being foreign-born, motivated by immigration benefits, and local ones would [often wisely] be totally disinterested
