Zero legacies. If the university is suppised to produce good students ir shouldnt be that 1 student in 21 is a complete dud. Because that's how it works, they are duds, who cant be kicked out and they will get their diploma even if the

A google search can lead you to various services that offer cofounder matching. One is run by y combinator. Open questions are: why do you really need a cofounder? Are you some idea guy? The technical people probably dont want to team up wi

It makes sense to have one stanfard across the world. This way good software can come from multiple countries. But... killing TRON probably helped a lot. Look at consoles - somehow nintendo can come with good software made by good, creative

There was an article here 2 or 3 months ago about the person responsible for making google search so much worse. So arguably google does not respond to customers anymore. Shareholders? Maybe. But probably those who prefer short term gain, n

Google outsources everything to the lowest bidder, so quality is as it is.

There are much more things to consume. There were of course books and newspapers in the past (in fact even more press and higher quality than now), but I think for average person there was much less of everything - you had one book, one ne

The people who ruined search now ruin maps. I wonder why the shareholders allow this. Google losing market share will be a big problem for the company. But hey, some fractions of a cent earned now.
