In addition to search I'd say: - Gmail - Android (and Google Play) - Drive - Maps - Chromecast - Google Home - YouTube (+Premium) are super successful.

Nest seems to have only improved under Google? They were floundering before the purchase. That said, they ought to do Google auth integration as it's really annoying to maintain a separate Nest account for those products.

This says more about the rightwingers that say that than it does CNN, NYT, WaPo, Bloomberg, etc. - there is a reason the rightwing in this country has embraced Trumpism, and it isn't because truth is a guiding principle of their moveme

Project Veritas was created by a known liar and manipulator. Anyone falling for their schtick needs to learn how to be less gullible.

> how morality is shit these days. This sort of implies morality was better in the past. Do you believe that? I am not suggesting today's morality is good but it seems like an improvement over the history of humanity to me.

I drive a Model S and I disagree. I'd prefer to have my own music and podcast apps. Car Play and Android Auto are a lot better UX-wise.

Look into Sinclair Broadcasting if you want to see who is abusing their power regarding news and information. Google is doing everything they can to be neutral - arguably more than they should.

As they should be. Google, Twitter, and Facebook were in unique positions to see how heavily Russia worked to influence our elections. They should've been screaming from the rooftops about that. Instead it looks like they ignored it at

No, you've pointed out your bias. I didn't imply you approved of Trump. You stated that Politico's articles were biased towards liberals. I posted an article - from another news source because I couldn't find one on Poli

It is wrong to look at whether or not an article takes the "liberal" or "conservative" side to decide whether or not there is bias. The truth matters. Take this article for instance, do you think it is biased? https:&#x

Ouch, I loved this product. Especially storing all the data for a particular trip offline. It made planning a breeze, and helped when changing plans on the fly as well.

Sure, but my company (and I assume most) will maintain support for at least the last two major versions of iOS. We wont be able to be minimum iOS 13 until ~September 2020 at the earliest, probably not until early 2021. I understand why, I j

By writing views programmatically in Android they mean writing them in Kotlin or Java, not XML. Almost no one does this. Though Kotlin has an interesting looking DSL for doing that named Anko.
