AWS outages on Tuesday “took down the technology” that powers Amazon’s logistics operations and affected a wide range of other companies “that rely on Amazon’s cloud computing” - NYTimes and WSJ and Bloomberg and MarketWatch and TechCrunch
And while we’re talking the ‘zon and labor, why not a consideration of what the e-commerce giant’s growing presence across America has meant for local economies and traditional retailers, especially in this tight labor market.

By most accounts, it was a rough day of cross for Elizabeth Holmes, who did her best to stay the course in defending herself in her criminal fraud trial by offering “a variety of excuses for Theranos’s shortcomings” - NYTimes and Law360
Stellantis, the auto giant created by the merger of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot, said that it is committing $34 billion over the next 4 years “to develop new vehicles based on software that will let the company sell entertainment, navigation and other subscription services to buyers of its cars and trucks.” The move is a clear attempt to compete with Tesla as well as old-line rivals who have recently made massive investments in “electric vehicles, autonomous driving and software services” - NYTimes and WSJ
