Ouch, this is a really sad comment on Harvard these days; I'd be ashamed if a 14 year old made this qualitative vrs quantitative category mistake. (Which you since fixed, but please - it should never have been written). Try looking into GOOGs shipping network, and compare it against AMZNs. Since we have long term data on AMZNs model (including $775 mil on a robot production facility): 1) Is GOOG outsourcing or doing this internally? 1a) If not, who are they using? 1b) If they are, where is the spend in their yearly budget reports? (Not seeing it) 2) Can they match the coverage that AMZN has? 3) Can they match the volume that AMZN has? 4) Can they hope to catch up before AMZN makes the robot jump it's planning? And so on. You're almost an adult - try to analyze the world a little closer, you're allegedly the elite of America. Is HN really this naive? This is terrible, if this was from an Oxford or Cambridge student - well, sorry, I'd hope they couldn't produce this level of immature nonsense. And yes, I suspect you'll "down vote" - but sometimes a short sharp slap should be required. Oh, and the heavy use of trackers is both intrusive and unnecessary for a private site. You're not providing any service, barring selling yourself, which should again make you pause at the "whys" of using the trackers you are. |
