I think the lesson here is that kickstarting new markets (entering new countries) is not easy. They basically have a local or regional team that needs to find a way to drive user adoption. They also spend a lot of money on promotions to cha

To really dispute GP's claim you'd need to make a claim that GE has innovated in new categories under Immelt. The fact it paid out $15 in dividends might only support GP's (and the Forbes article) claim that Immelt has optimi

This is my kind of strategy. If you could get one you'd be just fine. If you get two you've now developed a skill out of it. Sky is the limit from there. And you can walk down the street freely.

Did I strike a nerve or something? The personal insult makes you look defensive. And no, that's not what I'm saying. What I am saying is self evident. Large companies have more resources to spend, and they do. Smaller companies ha

It's really interesting to hear you say that. I'm in sales and have to make decisions like this all the time. On our side we're constantly making calculations about which accounts to invest our resources in. It's really

Ah I didn't see that article. Only saw the techcrunch one.

I agree with your sentiment (could've been worded better). Without clarification it seems like people are assuming the worst. Given Dave's reputation that doesn't seem fair. Hopefully the community will get some clarification

Wasn't that written by Chris Sacca, not Dave?

<insert "when you're a hammer..." joke here> Not to be a jerk, but, running Facebook over AWS is not a CDN problem. That's crazy talk. There are far more Facebook requirements that AWS can meet that Akamai cannot.

At a certain point it becomes a national security risk. And we have to choose, money or security. Until our overall cybersecuirty improves I vote against the profit incentive. And I say we don't leave that decision to shareholders beca

I could get on board with that if that's the way it worked. Here's hoping to that becoming the reality!

It may be reasonable, but it's not a good idea. We shouldn't trust Russsians, and they shouldn't trust us. I'd rather the US companies be forced not to sell if those are the terms. It exposes US companies even more than

I'm not an expert in this field and am open minded about it if you have some evidence to share. I did a quick Google search and it looks like this is at the very least a disputed topic. Some research shows that there are some (albeit m

I think it's much simpler than that. People that have the money to buy healthy food simply like to buy healthy food. The food there is excellent. I'm not rich by any standard and I love shopping there because to me it is high qual

Some comments on your points. I know you didn't ask but couldn't help myself. Withdrawn from the tpp / Agreed. Seemed like an overall bad deal for the US. TBD on what overall impact will be. This was going to make the US have

What exactly do you like about his performance so far? It seems like it's a slow motion train wreck. But I'm curious what his supporters like about his work so far.

That's a best case scenario way to look at this. I agree with you on how this looks to his base, and what it gives other Republicans. We all know his base will support him on anything so that isn't saying much. And the Republican

It's more taxpayer money used to kill more people. The Israelis are our frenemies. Plenty of examples of them not acting in our interests. Funds the suppression of the Palestinians. There's a lot not to like about how that is used

They don't allow that because it's easy for employees to come across tone deaf, kind of like you. You may not realize it but making comments on here like this can actually hurt the Google cloud brand. All it takes is one decision

What's funny is that the core of your offering is copied/inspired from AWS.

You're right; they didn't get anything for free. They gave up access to their logo and the story for discounts. That's how the game is played. And there's no problem with that! Both sides win. I just thought it was funny

I'm sure that had nothing to do with it. Free donuts. That's how you influence and win enterprise accounts.

Your bill won't change. It's the companies that want to offer things on the internet that will have to pay a premium. The cable companies can now tax every little startup as well as big companies. It means only well funded compani

Actually kind of! Been traveling a lot this last week and working odd hours. But what's probably a bigger factor is that I don't know how these things work. You make it sound simple, which confuses me because the issue isn't

I dislike Trump. But more than seeing him lose, I want to see justice prevail. If it's within his power to do this, so be it. But if it isn't, I hope this binds the rest of us together to deliver a significant defeat to him. It&#x

without knowing what's in the contract there is at least one way I can think. Make a statement saying all new workloads are being deployed elsewhere. Lots of ways to play the game.

Yes, I do think Google's biggest customer leaving their platform vocally would be more impactful than Google promoting/defending itself. If Snap threatened to leave I'd wager that even the CEO of Google would get involved to
