Operational profits is not really a goal for Waymo in near term. The current goal is to be many years ahead of competition, getting permits to operate in major profitable cities with profitable routes. The cost of a Waymo car right now is a

I sympathize with your sentiment but if you dig a little deeper you are asking Google and its shareholders to suffer a loss because you find something useful but do not want to pay of it. At its core this is a selfish argument. I am sure ma

Google engineer's time was not worth Google reader. If you think it was a useful product you could have created it yourself for profit.

Yes, the title is completely misleading. What the article seems to suggest is what economists have always known. People react to incentives (and so do animals). Ranchers do not have blind hate for cats but rather care more about their cattl

Products need to evolve with time. Gmail is not same as 0 years ago even though core functionality is email. Same for Google maps, Same for Amazon Prime etc. But Alexa has not really evolved.

Overall government doing anything is a bad idea. There are cases however where government is the only entity that can do certain things. These are things that involve military, law enforcement etc. Outside of this we should rely on private

That is your assumption and grossly oversimplification. But I do see the point of not indexing vast majority of internet traffic that is low value. PS. Google does not benefit at all promoting Instagram or Tiktok. They benefit from simpler

Google has far better signals than that. Organic cross traffic, time people spending on the page etc. serves the same purpose and that info is available for nearly free. Adding voting mechanism makes the whole business too expensive. (Imagi

I think the problem is not Google specific rather the internet has grown far too large with too much of crap floating around. Google, in my opinion has done the best job of getting relevant information followed by Reddit. While OpenAI etc.
