Audible's margins have crossed the impressive threshold and just gone to scary. Marketplaces have always had the ability to increase take rates as they earn a more dominant position but 75% for non-exclusive audiobooks & the pricing power are staggering #Marketplace #Amazon

What 7 years and ecosystem compounding can do: Then: ₹25/km for a solo e-bike rental. Now: You'd pay around that for a chauffeured EV SUV with the right distance. Better tech. Better ops. Better deal.

Waymo now does more rides than Lyft in SF. There are only 300 Waymos. Lyft has 45,000 drivers. Every Waymo is doing more rides than 150 human drivers.
