> Google is in an ugly place right now. I disagree. Massively. After Elon Musk, and possibly partly inspired by him, Page has driven Google to be, by far, the most ambitious tech titan in the game right now. Looking past G+ and its nonse

This. I am completely aware of the problem of vertical videos, but constantly take them out of wrist/grip convenience. I'm baffled as to why iPhone/Android doesn't offer a feature that allows you to toggle horizontal vid

Great product, but a question about the trailer video... Since the app seems to seamlessly adjust the picture so it doesn't rotate when you change the actual smartphone's physical orientation, what's the point of rotating the

Looking at the Nest lineup, I was reminded of that adage: "Google is getting better at design faster than Apple is getting better at web services." Those products look damn good.

Valid question. It's worth noting that as a partner at YC, Gary has obvious interest in billing any of their portfolio companies as "iconic". I'm not saying it's not the case for Instacart, but more saying it could
