I have heard concerns that the combination of Amazon’s competitive advantages in terms of size, consumer reach, and ability to absorb losses may discourage innovation and entrance into emerging markets, such as grocery and food delivery. Amazon accounts for “more than half of online food orders through its Fresh, Prime and Prime Now services.”[1] Because of this existing footprint, the announcement of the proposed transaction has already affected this market. For example, in the grocery delivery market, another prominent food company’s value was reduced by a third following the announcement of the transaction, which Business Insider pointed to as “the latest example of Amazon imposing its will on an industry, erasing billions of dollars of competitors’ market value in the process.”[2] The announcement of the transaction had a similar effect on the traditional retail grocery market,[3] suggesting that Amazon’s proposed acquisition of Whole Foods may also threaten traditional retail grocers as “[d]ominant players like Walmart, Kroger, Costco and Target now have to look over their shoulders at the Amazon train coming down the tracks.”[4]
I worked on Cortana four and a half years ago. At the time we all were like, “Amazon, yeah, that technology is so far behind.” But one thing I learned is that in this race to AI, it’s actually more about having the right application scenarios and the right ecosystems. Google and Microsoft, technologically, were ahead of Amazon by a wide margin. But look at the AI race today. The Amazon Alexa ecosystem is far ahead of anybody else in the United States. It’s because they got the scenario right. They got the device right. Essentially, Alexa is an AI-first device.

I pondered this as I watched an elderly farmer, hunched over a cane, cross a street from the park and head toward the foot of the mountains.
If people can stay at least two meters away from others during the stroll in the park, the cycling and the mountain climbing, no mask will need to be worn.
