I heard that's why Washington state was chosen. Close to tech talent (Microsoft was there) and fewer people living there than other tech-heavy states such as California, so the US tax-exempt market was larger from Washington state.

Because they want to be a platform for others to thrive. You make a lot more money when you are a successful platform than when you are a hundred successful products. That’s why Apple never made an iPhone for dentists.

Totality is unbeliveable. You have the urge to start a religion. For some reason the images you see on videos are by far not as impacting as the real thing. That said, a single tiny cloud can ruin everything, but in my case it was espectacular what I saw when the sun, the noon, the earth and me were aligned.

For example, there were cheaper models where the hardware was exactly the same as more expensive models except for additional hardware loops to make things run slower. That’s why they had so many models, they wanted to have a price point available for every company size.

Will it be possible to pay the UK VAT returns with this new payment platform? Paying the UK VAT return with a credit card from Spain does not work because there is an address verification which is not possible because Spain's credit cards do not share customer address information, so we need to use wire transfer instead, which has a higher transaction cost.
