Randall seems to be saying that a startup doesn't need to create a new computer system to service their customers, all they have to do is put up a Facebook page which uses Google to find products and then has Amazon deliver them. The middle layer "Transport" is a joke because Amazon literally ships physical boxes, but the OSI model is not about actual boxes; it's about information and the way the information is presented to the user vs what goes on behind the scenes. But I don't get the part about the horcruxes. Is it just the fact that there are seven of them? Or is there some subtle connection I'm missing here? 162.158.106.180 05:50, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
- (Spoilers alert) Voldemort uses signifying objects of his life, heritage and his school's founders as horcruxes. When the OSI layers are used as horcruces, one problem would be that Google/Amazon would have taken control of two horcruces, the other that some of the layers are frayed at the sides. Randall should have put his horcruces in living standards - that was a very dangerous move. Sebastian --172.68.110.46 07:54, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
