Amazon, the world’s most remarkable firm, is just getting started
I&#x27;ve said before on hackernews, but people never seem to grasp the scope of Amazon. They aren&#x27;t an e-commerce website anymore; that&#x27;s just the tip of the iceberg. Bias: I spent a good five years there.<p>In logistics alone: hundreds of warehouses in a dozen countries; hundreds of delivery stations, a fleet of drivers (independent contractors all) in the tens or hundreds of thousands; a fleet of airplanes (and an airport I hear?); and I read an article a while back saying they were buying a big ol&#x27; container ship because why not? Oh and the drones of course, whenever they get off the ground (eh? see what I did there?)<p>Then you add on AWS, Kindle, the prototyped no-cash-register stores, and whatever else they&#x27;ve got cooking that no one knows about. This company is my best bet for &quot;Weyland-Yutani&quot; from the &quot;Alien&quot; series.
