I always feel bad when I see startups come from a rich guy chasing fame or increasing the family wealth, they have a great and vital tool (money) but not a problem to solve nor an edge in the industry they are attacking. Kind of ironic, but

Some devs prefer being woken up on their on-call duty to fix a Javascript bug that could've been caught by GHC. It only makes sense when you put on the business hat, e.g. the big pro is that they are first to market, etc.

I always thought the "Don't Be Evil" phrase was more like a don't be comically evil. Don't wear black suit, boring logo and more imaginary related to an evil person. Instead be fun, use kindergarten colors, use the

Or just maybe getting hit by that kind of counter offer when you were bothering someone by pushing to move their wedding date hits you like cold water and you are like right, I'll leave this person alone and avoid making it weirder.

Can't stop thinking about the centralization going on here, even if you avoid using Google apps now any app could be feeding back your information to Google.

How many hours in 4.5 years does an average Netflix users spend? Seems absurd to spend that time consuming than creating your own content.

I agree with your points, but is it realistic or are those excuses? Has anybody quantified actual entrepreneurship? Yes, your example are complete home runs but most entrepreneurs would end up with a small business and not unicorns.

Genius move by Apple. This is a marketing move, clear and valuable differentiation from competition. What's perfect about this is that the competition can not claim the same (Google/Samsung/Android and to a degree FB). It&#x2
