Ivan B. · PatentLens AI (@ib_who69) reported@stratechery SpaceX/orbital data centers — patent filings tell a different story than the prose framing suggests. In the closest-on-target US patents for "satellite data center" and "orbital compute," SpaceX doesn't appear as an assignee. Amazon, Intel, and Mitsubishi Electric do. Amazon holds US-11923960 (ground-station-to-AWS pipe, granted 2024) and US-10419106 (satellite CDN that explicitly names lunar data centers as a node type, granted 2019). Mitsubishi has US-2024333379 — a cloud data center aboard a GEO satellite tied to a LEO mesh, filed 2024. Intel has US-2023156826 on LEO edge compute orchestration. These aren't speculative — they're granted or actively prosecuting. Andrew Mayne's reply asking whether inference belongs at the edge instead of orbit is the right question — and the patent data sharpens it. The structural issue: the silicon doesn't converge. AI accelerator IP (NVIDIA, Intel, Google) and radiation-hardening IP (Space Micro, Maxwell Technologies, Honeywell, BAE Systems) are separate patent bodies with minimal overlap. The closest combining filing is Texas Instruments US-2020074287 — and it's checksum-level fault tolerance on neural network matrices, not silicon-level rad hardness. Rad-hardened AI accelerator filings did inflect 2019–2021 (annual counts 4 → 2 → 12 → 9 → 9), so the convergence is being attempted. But nothing has shipped, and patent publication lags ~2 years behind filings. If "plausible" rests on this silicon problem being solved by ~2030, that's the bet worth scrutinizing — not the launch economics. The contrarian read: the orbital compute race is being staked by Amazon, not SpaceX, and it hits an IP wall at rad-hardened AI silicon that none of the hyperscalers currently own.

jHeathen (@seej235) reported@Kenny_Wallace screw NASCAR AND AMAZON. I still cant watch stage 4 cause amazon cut off the end of the recording. so sick of network tv issues with nascar. this should not be a job for fans to go find. 30hrs a week dedicated to nascar and I can see the end of the weekend and kyle tributes.

Xande (@Xan1097) reported@Tal_Tail @TheVenusDarling The "Amazon being cut down" is not true. Deforestation rates are falling and are a fraction of what they were in the 1980s. The forest is nearly 90% intact and at the current rate it would take well over a thousand years for it to end (and the rate keeps falling)

:(){ :|:& };: (@VcWabKDHN9OVdYq) reported@blackswan_vix @zephyr_z9 @amazon It’s not difficult. Internally at $AMZN majority of workloads run via JVM. And hence run on aarch64. Agents make handling cross-compilation issues easy now for any C or C++ dependency. Just spin up your Ralph Wiggum and presto.

*** (@hunfromzero) reportedAmazon has gotten really stupid lately they've started asking for approval on products we have been selling for ages. The marketplaces are wearing people down and pushing them more toward DTC. **** you amazon

Leigh Dunsford (@leighdunsford) reported@luke_broyles The AI trade has got 10 years to run. Not sure how Bitcoin performs when you can even choose a basic stock like Amazon and watch it 10x let alone the broader stock market during this period without random unknown risks or adoption issues. There's a chance that this next growth phase sucks the capital away from pure speculative risk on assets like Bitcoin. Not saying I won't buy some again, just careful to keep it to a risk adjusted % of my overall investments.

Divine Flow with Steven and Samara (@Steven_Samara) reported@jakeglmn Turmeric and Curcumin have stunningly low bioavailability. So low it should be unethical to recommend it. Fix it by using the NOVASOL technology developed by AQUANOVA, which raises the bioavailability 18,000%. You can buy it on Amazon. For years I sold a curcumin using this technology and the results were miraculous. Even easily and quickly absorbed in the mouth.

the day star, ángard (@angard_90119) reported@RobbyontheBobby You can get it on Amazon or AliExpress but it can be annoying to actually look through a catalog of their stuff imo still I’ve never had an issue with them personally I owned a cheaper model and I only upgraded cause it was a gift

Foundational A Spencer🇺🇲 (@Blessing2518) reported@AmazonHelp hello do you have a customer retention person? This is about the 3rd time, my orders didn't arrive on time lately, when they were time sensitive. You cancel and expect me to order again? Why would I do that? No effort to try and fix it.

Ted Cowart (@TedCowart2) reported@AmazonHelp Hi, I started watching Spider-Noir and I watched it in black and white no problem. But, I had to stop in the middle because, life. When I resumed, I picked black and white again, but it played in color. So, I picked color and it played in color, so I try in b&w again

floofy_master (@Floofy_master24) reported@batman_b0i @ToonHive This is why Glitch Productions exists..idk why people are bullying Glitch Productions when Buzzfeed and Amazon MGM Studios deserves it even more. We got characters stolen and a rip to K-Pop Demon Hunters and Jorge R Gutierrez was probably manipulated to get involved in this.

Des - Grindeldore| Tolkien💍 (@cauldrononfire) reportedI woke up to Charlie Vickers having been at the Amazon upfronts to tease season 3. And like... No one from Amazon thought it was a good idea to film those few minutes properly and give them to their official accounts? Their promotion is terrible.

R Nair (@NairRags) reportedHas any customer ever told you such canned responses have helped them in any way? No? Then why do you do it @AmazonHelp? Why not resolve the issue first, and then come back here to share the resolution? Why make customers go around in circles? Be useful for once 🙏

Andrew Wilkinson (@StartupsILike) reportedAsk anyone why Toys R Us died and they will say Amazon. Amazon is the wrong answer. Toys R Us was founded in 1948 as a children's furniture store and spent the next five decades becoming one of the most recognizable retail brands in American history. As recently as 2017, it still accounted for 20% of all US toy sales. A company doing 20% of all toy sales in America is not a company Amazon killed. Just before the buyout, Toys R Us had $2.2 billion in cash reserves and losses were actually shrinking as the toy industry was booming. Here's what actually happened. In 2005, a consortium of 3 firms, Bain Capital, KKR, and Vornado Realty Trust, acquired Toys R Us through a leveraged buyout valued at $6.6 billion. The trio only put up $1.3 billion of their own money. The other 80% was borrowed. Once the deal closed, the debt was pushed back onto Toys R Us itself, skyrocketing its obligations to $7.6 billion. Read it again. They bought the company with borrowed money and then made the company responsible for paying it back. Toys R Us was left paying $400 million a year just to service the debt, money going directly to creditors instead of to websites, stores, or competitive pricing. By 2017 the cash reserves had shrunk from $2.2 billion to $301 million while the debt burden had ballooned from $2.3 billion to $5.2 billion. During the same period, Bain Capital, KKR, and Vornado collected $464 million in fees and interest payments from Toys R Us while they owned it. The owners were collecting fees while the company was drowning in the debt they created. Bankruptcy filings showed Bain, KKR, and Vornado were collecting $15 million annually in advisory fees, increasing by 5% every year, regardless of performance. The private equity owners tried taking Toys R Us public between 2010 and 2013 to cash out but failed. An MIT finance professor put it simply: if Toys R Us had half the debt it was carrying, the company would have been profitable and totally fine. By 2017, its net loss was down to just $36 million on $11.5 billion in revenue, a number any retailer would consider manageable, except the debt payments on top made survival impossible. Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy in September 2017 and liquidated nearly all US stores in 2018, closing 800 locations and putting 33,000 people out of work. Public pressure eventually forced Bain and KKR to create a $20 million fund for laid off workers, a number described by employee groups as a gesture rather than restitution given the $464 million the firms had already extracted. Amazon did not kill Toys R Us. Three firms bought a viable company with borrowed money, put the debt on the company's books, collected hundreds of millions in fees while the company deteriorated, failed to exit through an IPO, and left 33,000 workers without jobs or severance when the weight of the debt finally collapsed everything. Amazon was just a convenient name to put on the obituary. The documents tell a different story.

Newt (@nwet45) reported@CSheahan7924 @RockChartrand Because they own 70% of the wealth in the states. The computer and Smartphone where puplic funded since Projekts. For Amazon its also there are more cars on the road so they get broken quicker and need more repairs. Also if 40% of your workers are on SNAP you need to pay fot that

Rosemary Barrett (@ReuxReux1209) reportedWalmart just tried to charge me 1.5 times the amount for a 5 lb bag of sushi rice I had also priced on Amazon because I closed the Amazon window and the price went back down when I opened the Amazon window again. That is really messed up.
