Amazon's net profit for 2018 was $10 billion. The most recent numbers I can find show a net profit margin of about 25% for AWS, so about $6.5B or 2/3 of Amazon's overall profit for 2018.

That suggests the retail arm on its own is netting about 1.5% -- about half of Wal-Mart's 3% and probably not a sustainable model from a shareholder's standpoint.

Raw revenue of course has nothing to do with monopoly power. It's about percentage control of the relevant market.

Informative? Jesus Christ.

Good one. So to complete the picture:

Paper: "application of a theoretical model", "indicates", "may already be"

Article discussing paper: "aren't doing so fast enough", "doom", "climate gone mad"

As I've said many times before, the warming alarmists forfeit any chance of being taken seriously by their seemingly pathological need to grossly overstate everything.

Which airline are you referring to? I've seen this in some offbeat situations with multi-airline international flights, but barring that I've been able to pre-select seats for years. These days you can even see the seat maps before selecting a leg.

If your parallel was accurate, you wouldn't need the weasel words. What was the "it" that Kushner "essentially" did, and how does it supposedly compare to the Secretary of State running all her email traffic through a box sitting in the loft apartment of some dude who apparently couldn't even figure out how to spell TLS?

Baloney:

That's half true. The fixed hourly wage is a pittance (a couple bucks an hour last I looked), and if that wage plus tips doesn't add up to minimum wage the employer makes up the difference. That's clearly explained in the Wikipedia link in the summary.

That's exactly what's happening here, except DoorDash's pittance base is per delivery rather than per hour as explained here.

Food delivery service uses same labor practices as restaurants have for many moons, under laws graced by multiple dynasties of both political parties.

But tech, so unfair.

That's some dangerous and stunningly incorrect advice, my friend. OP was describing a textbook example of limitations on the reexport of technology subject to U.S. Export Administration Regulations. There's a plain-English overview here.

Pro tip: something can still be true even if you don't think it should be.

Cute, but 58 C is just about the middle of the range for medium rare. I wouldn't take a filet quite that high, but certainly less tender and/or more marbled cuts like a ribeye, flank, or strip benefit from a few extra degrees.

You may be confusing the final temperature of the finished steak with its temperature when you take it off the grill -- keeping it on the heat until you measure 58 C likely would cause it to overshoot into the medium range during resting.

The real goal should be bits with infinite states -- talk about space savings! We could call it "a N/A log" or something catchy like that...

I think the links to your sources must have been stripped by some sort of weird new /. filter. Would you mind reposting?

And the chart in my second link clearly shows 21 C on July 14. It's not clear what particularly clever point you thought you were making.

A few dead factual and neutrally sourced observations -- flame away:

1. The current temperature in Alert, Nunavut is 3 C, heading for a high of 4.
2. The forecast for the rest of the week is 9, 10, 5, 4, 4, and 5 C (TFA says the average July high is 7 C).
3. The above link also shows the warm snap lasted less than 4 days, bounded by a high of 12 C on the 13th and 5 C on the 18th.
4. Alert recorded a high of 20 C in 1956.

Given that, words like "spectacular" and "unprecedented" seem a bit overwrought.
