An interesting question is at what point does it become viable for FB to follow Amazon's model to scale its own system as a business unit...
As in, when will FB conclude that it again needs to widen its revenue stream portfolio, and it therefore makes sense to offer its own version of AWS?
Any predictions on FBWS?
And there's the FB hardware development division, a business unit that so far has also remained in-house but has its own revenue potential. I think people tend to underestimate MZ's ambitions to leverage the FB core to create a broad spectrum business. (following Google's leverage of search revenue to devour the advertising business, etc., and Amazon's leveraging of book sales to devour retailing and then logistics, etc.)
If you have a younger family member interested in an introduction to astronomy, check out his work on the CrashCourse series sponsored by PBS. Very well done.
I was considering the possibility that, as in many corporate acquisitions, there is expediency and value in simply buying a winning team over attempting to build one. Imagine the rapid scale Tesla could reach with an Apple-scale cashpile partner, and the (ahem, please forgive me for this) synergies ( I need a shower now) to be had with Tesla's battery operations.
Maybe Apple is gathering car talent be make themselves pretty for the engagement party. In other words, to have something to bring to the table over just dollars-by-the-dumpsterload. Just a thought.
Apple made some public comment today referencing their own Apple Car ambitions, saying something about how, "cars are the ultimate mobile device" (something like that, I'm paraquoting.)
Anyway, it's debatable that a platform you may spend a hour or two a day with being the "ultimate mobile device" (whereas my phone moves around with me 24/7/365.25)
Also, what is the likelihood that Apple can out-Tesla Mr. Musk? Isn't it more likely they want to acquire Mr. Musk and his Tesla enterprise, and all the PR around the prospects of an Apple Car are just opening that door?
Without a planetary magnetic field to shield it from lethal radiation, and without the ability to retain a useful planetary atmosphere, how exactly would we terraform Mars?

And yes! The watchers ARE training to be PHBs.
There will be a channel to watch people watching other people code. I mean, just look at them, the way they watch the coder with such intensity!
I'm waiting for the release of the Evil SaaS model
I was actually thinking of the potential of FB's networking hardware initiative, though you make a good point about this storage angle.

Some of us get by with building data storage from a record player and a Jackson 5 album on 33 1/3 you insensitive clod!

Maybe you'd prefer 'not colorful'?

I wish these were easy to retrofit, they are a fantastic option. If I ever remodel my mom's basem... my studio apartment, I would like this option.

Yes, 5 out of 5 humans surveyed said it, "tastes like Chocolate Dirt."

I had the same nightmare. About you. And you were indeed naked, as well as being Scarlett Johansson's hotter sister.
Wait, how did we get on this topic again?

What? No backwards revenue overflow dynamics?
"Local newspaper"? What is that, some kind of newfangled startup concept?
