projects/home/recap/FEATURES.md has some interesting stuff:

In realgraph you can see some of the things they keep track of, which include what you have in your address book, total time spent "dwelling" and a few other interesting nuggets.

If it's a fiber that goes into major data centers it certainly could.

They charge when the item is shipped so I'd guess they can recognize the revenue then.

It sure does when you build almost all your products in China.

Keep in mind they have a significant presence in Asia, they felt this for nearly the entire quarter.

Plus like Facebook, it's not all straight down. Tim Cook:

> “We’ve seen a further change in the last part of March and first part of April were very depressed and then we’ve seen a pick up relative to that period of time in the second half of April"

They also announced $50b more in buybacks. Apple is confident in a way that most businesses are not.

And international exposure, Lyft is just in the US and a little in Canada.

It's not a secret to any investor that Lyft's business has gone way down. These sorts of layoffs tend to only spark panic selling when they are not expected.

They're a global company that operates in 900 cities. I don't understand why so many people on this site seem to think it should be a few programmers and some suits to sign the checks.

Perhaps, but it's not clear this would fall under any syndication rights. It's also not clear if he was honest about having part of the deal, from your link:

> During the New Yorker’s investigation into the veracity of the claims, reporter Connie Bruck was unable to find records of payments to Bannon. However, it’s possible his deal was capped and paid out between Seinfeld’s syndication in fall 1995 and Turner Broadcasting’s merger with Time Warner in late 1995. Following the deal, Turner’s Castle Rock came under the Warner Bros. umbrella and the company started sending out all of profit-participation statements. Prior records from the earlier months of syndication are not readily available.

And:

> On the other hand, when Bannon submitted an “income and expense declaration” during a contentious court battle with his ex-wife, any Seinfeld profit participations should’ve shown up. The New Yorker surmises either the profits weren’t substantial or Bannon failed to disclose them in a sworn statement.

I bet he made a few bucks in the 90s and and used the allure of the show to impress people since then. Seinfeld is still generating massive amounts of money so someone should know if they're sending any of it to Bannon.

Even crazier, they have already announced an additional 75,000 openings. Just nuts.

What key part of the article?

I'm pretty sure they could start paying a minimum wage of $30 an hour and people would be irate that they're making it impossible to hire anyone because Amazon is overpaying. When you're the biggest player there is nowhere to hide.
