In the end why was she pushed out? Was it a loss of credibility? Investors were probably happy about splitting the company. Did she lose internal credibility because she said she wasn't interesting in Uber (when she was)?

This is just prudent diversification. If you work at Google and your personal capital is tied to Tech, go easy on Tech stocks in the retirement account. Bankers who held too many financial services stocks in 2008 saw their 401Ks crater at

Perhaps it's more accurate to say that most successful businesspeople realize full compliance is impossible, and go for the 80/20 rule: 20% of the effort to get 80% compliance. At that point the IRS will go after people who are m

Low prices, yes. But real estate and labor costs are lower in New Mexico than California. Perhaps taxes too. So they have different prices by region. (Otherwise they couldn't be profitable everywhere, and then they lose economies o

Shouldn’t this be ok? Sometimes they want loss leaders for you to come in person. Also, they may not have 100% accuracy on your location until you check out. This is no different than having prices change by geography. You wouldn’t expec

Similar. I only pick up the phone if I recognize the name, or it's the city where my kids go to school.

Exactly - this is a feature that is a sign of better search quality. Perhaps Google could allow a keyword like +Standard or +LowQuality to take out any personalization based on identity, location, language, etc.

I used to love SF. Now I'm not sure how much of it is the city is going downhill, versus being older and bothered by different things. Then again, in the 90s people said the new crowd in the Marina were taking things downhill.
