   Google has an internal cloud-based IDE which is quite popular, so it's possible to do all work in cloud. Otherwise you can ssh into your desktop. Either way Googlers are not allowed to store source code on a laptop. There are some Engi

   Or it could be that you work at a startup where the founders are playful, willing to experiment and don't take themselves too seriously. Google did a lot of things differently than other companies. Larry and Sergey were extremely inves

   I feel like they were taking themselves too seriously. The company is named after a spelling mistake. I don't think "Bird Mode" would have been too silly.

    Thanks. I didn't see that. Why exactly do iPhones send data to Google servers? Ads on apps/websites?

    I am confused. Everything I read on the website is very vague. What exactly is their issue with Apple? Apple is already privacy focused. I can imagine what it could be (mistrust of closed source, big corporations) but they never say so. Wha

    I would generally only donate to non-profits that have 501(c)(3) status (not sure if this one does). Not just because I want to save money on my tax, but also because the IRS has some checks in place to make sure the money is used as intend
