“The countervailing thing to this idea that Amazon is going to create some elbow room for us is that I think we’re about to experience a post-election boom. I think getting Jenny Durkan elected, which we at the Chamber worked very hard to do through our PAC, I think is a thing that the Bay Area, in particular, has been waiting for and probably some folks in China and some people in Japan and Korea and Europe, as well. I actually think we’re about to experience another growth spike because if you’re Facebook, if you’re Mercedes, if you’re Alibaba, you’re looking at Seattle. You’re saying, ‘I would love to grow my engineering team there’ or ‘I would love to start my engineering team there but I don’t know if Seattle’s crazy.’ I think that by electing Jenny, we were able to establish Seattle is not crazy and that will create a lot more movement here. I think we had a little bit of an artificial pause in our growth as we were looking at that election and we still have more tests to pass … but I do feel that we’re going to see a lot of pressure from non-Amazon tech companies or companies that want to be more tech over the next 12 to 18 months.”
“The proliferation of voice technologies will continue to put consumers’ security and identity at risk. Currently, fraudsters can easily get around existing authentication methods. As businesses adopt the latest voice technologies for the majority of customer interactions, there will be a parallel need for top-notch security.”
“The dynamics of tech are such that consolidation actually, in some ways, ends up making sense,” he said. “No one wants to use the fourth-best navigation app, and there’s no public interest being served being like, oh, we need to have like you competing. It’s like, well maybe one of them just has the most data and then it ends up giving us the most accurate directions.”
“It’s a completely new way of thinking about intermediate-range wireless,” Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos told reporters at the time of the announcement last year. “There are a lot of things where Bluetooth is way too short-range, WiFi is way too high power, and so to have something that’s still low-power, but that has much longer range is really a gap in the marketplace. … People don’t even realize yet how important that intermediate range is going to be.”
“Nobody?completely?trusts Amazon. There is a degree of social isolation it suffers in the corporate landscape. Customers, suppliers, affiliates, partners — everybody has learned to be on their guard when dealing with Amazon. Nobody ever enters a relationship with Amazon with wholehearted enthusiasm. Only with a certain reluctance. You deal with Amazon mostly because you have to, not because you want to.?This lack of relationship capital may start to matter one day.?But today is not that day. Today we succumb. Today we welcome our Amazonian Overlords.”
“My office was moved? — because so many people were coming in — to the end of a hallway, and I was right next to the Coke machine,” Dahl said. “And there were some people around me, and I remember to get to our desks we had to step across somebody’s dog who was always sleeping there. They just crammed so many people into that building.”

“Recommended items” or “related items” are two long-standing phrases still very much prevalent across Amazon’s retail website and services. The company continues to collect hoards of data on customer preferences; despite potential privacy concerns, Americans still trust Amazon over other tech juggernauts.
“Rather than addressing the legitimate concerns that have been raised by many New Yorkers Amazon says you do it our way or not at all, we will not even consider the concerns of New Yorkers – that’s not what a responsible business would do,” said Chelsea Connor, Director of Communications for the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union in a statement Thursday. The union was part of the group fighting Amazon’s New York plans.
