Curious about the pricing. It says $2.75 / month / user but it also says unlimited users. Does that mean you can pay $2.75 / month / user for as many users as you want? Seems confusing and I'd assume it's unlim

Meh .... the same could be said of virtually every job. You'd be hard pressed to find any company (including yours, or your clients if you freelance) who have squeaky clean operations. By that example do you think everyone working at N

This should be the top comment. Let's take a current headline: "Facebook is facing criticism for not allowing users to opt out of a feature that lets people look them up using their phone number or email address." There are s

I don't believe so. There are 2 cultural differences I've noticed as a son to immigrant parents in the US. 1) My parents primary goal was to make life better for their kids. It was in a nutshell why they immigrated in the first pl

What I'm saying is that <5% of revenues on technical infrastructure for a technology company at Lyft's stage doesn't seem that crazy to me. I agree that it would be a serious undertaking to move off AWS today. But it'

They're making $200 million / month based on their S-1 filing. I'm sure they've done the math and the effort to cost savings here simply isn't worth it to them.

I think the general feedback in these post are that people were using numerous tools in the decades before Facebook and they worked pretty well. I, myself, can concur what everyone's saying. I didn't have to set up a forum to chat

"5 years before Instagram existed" ... right place, right product, wrong time.

Any company could have pivoted to be Instagram. But Instagram was at the right place at the right time with the right product. Flickr did not have time on their side so it didn't matter if they had the other two.

I don't believe Flickr was ever targeting the same audience. There are very few companies which succeeded in the space Flickr was focused on. Smugmug is probably the closest and they wound up buying Flickr from Yahoo!. Turns out there&

At a very micro level it maybe a true statement that someone wasn't deprived of anything they valued. However, an automaker has a responsibility at a macro level because they sell so many cars. Here's what seemed exceptional in th

Isn't it possible to have a "per TLD" container addon? I'm fine to be logged into Google and even have Google collect information when I'm using any of their services (same for Facebook). What I'm really after

Been there. And if you pay for a $30 fare with $40 they won't have change to give you and will "keep the tip". I believe that's the last time I took a cab anywhere.

I realized at my last job that I was working to essentially replace myself and my co-workers. It was a pretty sobering thought. We often joke about training our replacements but we're definitely in an age where it's just as easy (

Ethics aside, how do you evacuate 1,000 inmates? I assume you'd have to bus them to another facility which had room for them. Seems challenging any way you look at it.

Sounds like the issue might have been confusion with the UI. groups.google.com has a lot of settings and it can be really confusing to know how to set up a group that functions in a particular way (i.e. receive email from outside the domain

Even Googlers are perplexed when it comes to what certain group settings do and where you go to change them. We're working on improving that. Do you primarily use groups.google.com, admin.google.com or the AdminSDK APIs?

Would nesting groups meet your needs? For example... service_requests@ (group) -> operations@ (group) -> user1@ -> eng-support@ (group) -> user2@ Then sending an email to service_requests@ would se

This stems from the origin of Google Groups as the OP mentioned. It’s definitely not ideal but we are actively working on making groups more suitable for the various enterprise/business scenarios they are being used for. (I’m a PM @ Go
