Jeff Bezos finally gets .Amazon after DNS overlord ICANN runs out of excuses to delay decision any further

Re: Who will use it?

It's irrelevant / arbitrary whether X url or Y url is "more useful to me" - arguable neither per se because usefulness of a website obviously depends upon far more important factors of specific implementation (eg: location detection etc etc etc).

If both X and Y easily fulfil the purpose - ie: me accessing site and buying the book with ease then they are both equally 'useful' for my intents and purposes. Arguably omitting my typing of %country% at the end of a url is 'useful' to some minor degree.

"Then consider whether "books.amazon" or "books.amazon.%COUNTRY%" is more useful to you, as a purchaser of books for delivery to the place of your choosing."

Does what you have written imply regarding "the scam" that if a domain name has 'UK' after it then it is no longer a "scam"? What is the logic omitting the country from a url and this scam?

if for Scottish people the url location detects to books.amazon/scotland -- is it less of a scam? How do you know that amazon won't do that?

.......

And regarding 'yachts' .. ? .. Who cares if people have yachts? Certainly if rich people didn't have yachts I'd have been out of a couple of design contracts.

Do you have *any* logic at all in linking yachts with this being a scam per se?

Is it because you have an inferiority complex regarding people having yachts? Because I don't. That's more your problem than proof of any kind of scam.

If you have a problem with the necessity of economies that an individual may have more money than another then it would seem your [probably hypocritical] quarrel is with the trading of money in general rather than with companies trading IP.

domain.company name is no more of a scam than general branding in a developed economy.

It's no more of a scam than Intel paying a fortune for intel.com or AvJoeBusinessman paying $50000 for mydesignsareepic.com .. which might net Joe 90k in extra sales over 2 years --

Or Ferrari buying up ferrari.com or the owners have yachts you know! :-O "Scammm!!" ;)

Re: Who will use it?

If a scam relates to fraudulent activity, who is this "scam" defrauding [scamming] exactly?

And, please.. how much money do a company have to have before hitting your limit of "too much money" btw? Very interested to know in case I make it big some day.

Also, to really get the jist of your logic: Is it ALL of the companies who have purchased the 'TLD scam' that necessarily have "too much money" or just amazon?

If I buy books.mytrademark then am I scamming too, by association? Or is it I simply have "too much money"?

Does it extend to dot coms? If a dot com costs $100,000 is that a scam? What if the buyer makes $200,000? Who is the "scammer" and who is the "scammed" exactly?

Very interesting to see how your logic follows through.

Re: Who will use it?

How are TLD a "scam" ?

Buying a book from:

books.amazon

.. is fraudulent in what way?

Re: So if you have loads a money

Actually ICANN made it's own rules.

Bring it on, Chipzilla! Nvidia swipes back at Intel in CPU-GPU AI performance brouhaha

"The two-socket Xeon Platinum 9282 pair crunched through 10 images per second per Watt, while the V100 came in at 22 images per second per Watt, and the T4 is even more efficient at 71 images per second per Watt."

And then factor in unit costs. Situation seems pretty clear to me. Intel are further behind the deep-learning curve than they let on.. I have to agree with N that Intel are shooting themselves in the foot with their publicity there. People investing in that kind of architecture will fact check, so I guess Intel was trying to play a wider game by slyly trying to 'influence' non-deep-learning-techs into putting faith in Intel systems. I respect Nvidia for taking advantage here on the tech angle (bits / BERT / watts) in response to Intel's propaganda preying on lack of due diligence: a seriously bad move that undermine's their [Intel's] integrity to many involved no doubt, and smells of desperation.
