My guess for lack of successor is that he doesn't want to burden someone else. It's probably one of those things like being a head of state where you don't really know what it's like until you've done it yourself. S

It's the opposite with humans. 3rd world/developing countries have extremely high birth rates. The best mechanism for "population control" in people is to improve a population's standard of living.

I built Streak's Gmail add-on (launch partner, and #1 add-on in the marketplace) so trust me when I say that I'm very aware of the platform's shortcomings :) If you want to do something fancy then I highly recommend using the

The most exciting news here is that they're iterating on Gmail again. It was clear that Gmail was stagnating for a while as they were investing in Inbox. It's unfortunate that Inbox didn't take off, but now that it looks like

"In-house tools", do you mean something built in house? If you're spending 100K in integrations you think building an entire service, or suite of services is going to be LESS than that? Now take into consideration opportunity

Business service = you pay for it, either directly or as part of your G-Suite subscription. I don't believe you that they told you to move to Allo/Duo. Hangouts works, still works, and will continue to work for the near future. It

A business decision can be driven by all product decisions, but that would be a bad way to make a business decision. Look at that discontinued list and look at the business services that have been discontinued, can you find any? Can you fin

This is an inane criticism. How many business services has Google released? How many have shut down? Let's get empirical here.

The converse is that having one supreme superpower is better for world peace because there's nobody to compete with them militarily. Therefore there's only one power that can decide to take military action (the superpower). This i

This is why I don't let my kid watch YouTube unattended. Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime offer more than enough content for them. If there's only something available on YouTube then I'll find a playlist with only that content

To get a better understanding of YC's approach consider the following: there are a limited number of slots, they get substantially more good applicants than there are slots. What this means is that the question shouldn't be "

There is no "winning" the war as long as there is disagreement - of which there always will be. That's why the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. To overturn this law, or to make consumer protection laws force neutrality

A single person does NOT need to spend 3600/month in SF. That's crazy. A studio/1 bedroom can be had for 2500. And if you're willing to compromise on location (i.e. "the ghetto") you can get under 2K. Families

Compromise on neighbourhood. If you're in SF instead of living in the nice areas, go to Tenderloin, Hunter's Point, etc. You can find great deals in those areas.

This is a common misconception. Look at how much stuff has come out from Trump's past. You probably thought Trump went through lots of vetting in the primaries, but the reality is that it was super light. The same thing is true of Sand
