Uh huh, over the whole 10 year lifetime of the contract. This was explained in the article. If you take that $100 billion/yr gross revenue * the whole 10 year time frame, plus the $10 billion original ~$half billion, the proportion becomes $10.5 billion out of $1 trillion, which is, drumroll please… 1.05%

Staggering.

the volume doubles to 1% of gross revenues

One contract from one state agency worth 1% of all your gross revenues is substantial.

you did catch me merely skimming the article because of how dull and bad this conversation is

Uh huh. Okay.

  Yeah, you were trying to argue AWS is basically for the NSA and cops. That hilariously false claim is what I’ve been consistently rebutting this entire time. You’re moving the goalposts and continuously have this entire conversation, which is why this is a dull and bad conversation. You didn’t start out arguing that 1% is “substantial.” You made a rather different argument. I never disputed that a contract amounting to 1% of a company’s annual revenues is significant, I disputed that that 1% means AWS is “just a cop shop.” Because it’s not.

    My guy, you’re arguing with yourself at this point. At the least, learn to read your own material before you try to fact check someone.

    I usually do, when the other person in the conversation doesn’t seem like an insincere ass
