The optimization Amazon wanted (and got) was related to CPU cores, not early next-gen chips. I always assumed it was a way to sell more "dedicated cores" per socket. It might be exclusive, but Google, Facebook and enterprises would not be interested unless the overall chip was more powerful.

I think they get messages like this all the time, which is why they think it is funny. So, satire for this specific example, but suggests an increasing level of annoyance from the Y partners when they actually get these messages.

True. Just a happy side effect for the advertising in that example.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of more regulation, but scientific integrity seems to demand the placebo ingredients be disclosed.

From the discussion, it seems clear the doctor-scientists have to think about and carefully consider what to use for the control. A single, simple answer cannot work.

Does anyone have references to studies or data? I tried looking once, but couldn't even find a proper definition.

I deposited a check at an ATM recently and it was rejected (by the ATM itself) because it was not endorsed. It wasn't and I seriously doubt this is anything more than a check for some ink on the back in the endorse-here area.

The ATM then tried to return the check to me, but there was some kind of paper feed error and I never saw it again.

Can't be flash 'cause it played on my iPhone.

That is the brute-force approach Microsoft uses. Corporations love it. I find the problem is that the "matrix" of possibilities you have to keep in mind as a programmer keeps getting bigger and bigger. You end up with the Adobe Flash effect (least common denominator) within your own OS or program or whatever. I would call that a very high price indeed.
