Well, in many countries, pharmacies just dispense prepackaged packs and bottles. No counting involved.

They totally knew.

Well, Google already distribute hardware to various ISP - it's called GGC (https://www.gstatic.com/isp/docs/ggc-installation.pdf?sjid=5...).
We (GSA) & GGC used to source our hardware from the same supplier (Dell).

Well that's fun. I was the TL of the GSA platform team and you are mostly spot on.
You are missing the whole crawling/indexing & security parts though.
the GWS on the GSA was, tbh, one of the simplest component.
Each GSA had a set of unique BIOS/root password generated during bootstrap though.

What makes Disney comics singular is that a lot of them are authored by European artists and have the distinct BD style.
For instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Duck_in_comics goes over this a bit.
Also Picsou Magazine > Journal de Mickey. There I said it.

I think it makes sense for existing restaurants with a large takeout business to operate from a separate kitchen. But it needs to be a similar menu and same quality.
I’m not going to pick a random pizza place because it has an Italian sounding name. I will either order from a usual place or do a bit of research before ordering something special.

+1 the comparisons are not great. How much engineer-hours did it take to build Rama itself?
The numbers they got for Twitter likely include the time it took to build their infrastructure, common libraries (like finagle,…)
