I've tracked Google from fairly early. Even paid a visit to the garage headquarters shortly after they moved. Kevin Page grew up in East Lansing where I live though I've never met him. I have never heard of a Google third founder. I will acknowledge that he was one of the first employees of Google and made important early contributions. Is this just a newspaper making up a headline for clickbait?

  NYPost is a tabloid, so probably clickbait. I've seen this posted another time earlier today -- surprised the HN deduping algorithm didn't roll them together.

    What makes a newspaper a tabloid? Are there objective criteria? Recently the NYPost was one of the few big media organizations to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was legitimate at the time and has since been totally vindicated. If NYPost is correctly called a tabloid, what is the word for a newspaper that fails to cover important stories in order to protect bigshots?

      As I recall, they were temporarily removed from Twitter for covering that story. If there is a meaningful distinction here, it may be a partisan one.

  He was able to buy preferred shares, according to this article, and the point of that is he became a Google Billionaire (barely) rather than a regular old Google Millionaire.

I question the veracity of this article from its source, but some people do dumb things in divorces. Divorce, beyond social and psychological trauma, itself is a windfall for lawyers and destroys balance sheet worth and living expense efficiencies of both parties. - Don't even think about living with someone without a palnup. - Prenup that supersedes most community property. - Only get married to have kids with someone you've know for years, e.g., don't marry crazy, unmotivated, unhelpful, unsupportive, easily-offended, immature, dramatic, hopeless, insecure, narcissistic, dramatic, addictions (screens, video games, substances, gambling, cheating, stealing, lying, etc.) and/or irrational people at random you just met a month ago. - Put in the work in marriage. - Set expectations that the honeymoon phase will wear off. - Choose your battles. - Disagree without making it personal. - Keep money and sex rolling in. - Communicate what's vital with integrity, i.e., honesty, courage, and empathy. - Spice it up. Not just that.
