Costco.com’s inventory is larger than what is in store. But yes, agree. Now we call it “curated”, but with Costco’s return policy, there’s an actual risk to them for stocking outright garbage, which is a huge value, even if I never return

I also think you have to draw a fairly large distinction between private jet and COMMERCIAL AIRLINER.

Costco reviews generally seem more legit. Anything I can buy at Costco instead of Amazon, I do.

I mean... Aliexpress is Aliexpress US - Amazon is worse since you don't expect the product to be counterfeit, a knockoff or completely gamed reviews. At least with aliexpress that's exactly what you expect, and exactly what you&#x

It either goes up forever or goes to $0. Good luck.

It's not favorites, it's bringing in net new revenue vs existing revenue. Much easier to give a discount to get something you don't have, then to give a discount to your existing base. Ask your revenue teams in whatever comp

None of those are OXMs and are the end customer. That is totally different than what your original assertion was.

You haven't demonstrated that anyone /is/ entering into contracts with Intel. Intel has done lots of things that it turns out people didn't want to do (with them).

When you're thirsty, you buy from the person selling water. I don't think you'll find a lot of love lost between the OXMs and nvidia. I'm sure they would love more competitors in the space. We have people licensing Ar

Yes, for 40 minutes to 1 hour. But I bet you still ran forwarders on the old hosts for at least an hour after you cut over DNS.

I'm not sure that's right. By virtue of how caching works, it's significantly less of an issue for very large services which will have absurdly high cache hit ratios all the way out to the edge within the 2.5-5 minute window

Yeah.... but also a good way to get paid for a lot of people who then go on to start up new and interesting things that may or may not get dominated by the big 6.

The amount they pay per stream differs per country too, I think.

Yes, ignoring all other costs isn't great. Their revenue per subscriber is also substantively lower - including free users, discounted EDU users, and family memberships. Excluding free users, it's probably ~$5 per user. That being

Doesn't mean you don't end up the product anyway. Which is the real rub. Paying for a product is no guarantee that your data won't be misused anyway. It's incremental money for the taking for any enterprise.

Officially by whom? Go look at the UN Council on Human Rights, which is historically a literal who's who of human rights abusers. The UN Security Council is actually the only UN group that can officially declare Human Rights Abuses...

but also haven't really done much about it right? We threw some sanctions on them... that appear to be fairly toothless.

I mean... economic might is a version of human rights abuses. Ask the Cubans. The are no simple applications of pithy thoughts. The world is messy, subjective and everyone has an inherent bias to their world view. And most importantly, it

Sorry - has something changed with Crimea? Begrudging acceptance seems to be exactly where we're at....

I don't really have a dog in this fight other than to point out your initial post was neither civil nor reasoned - and included not citations or facts. I'm starting to understand what you're insinuating I think, but you still

It looks far from baseless. I googled - people are attaching their names to this on twitter. It's not anonymous. It's not "I heard he did x". It's he did X to me. We'll find out if any of it is true - but I&#

Do you have any studies or sources to back this up? As I understand it, in most EU markets there's no price component, nor much of a choice component and costs haven't skyrocketed.

I don't think that's the clear intention at all. If that were so clear, we wouldn't have all of the litigation and laws around the 2A as we do.

The 2nd amendment also doesn’t guarantee concealed carry handguns, nukes or RPGs. You can have long guns, stored properly in NYC afaik.

or need. A retired NYPD cop doesn't need a gun - a bodyguard might. Often those bodyguards are ex-NYPD, which is how they got the concealed permit in the first place. The whole point is demonstrating a need for a concealed weapon, not
