Getting a video error when I try to watch. Does this let me display certain spreadsheet cells or arrays as say, an Android widget? I've been looking for something that lets me do that in a manner that offers solid privacy and security.

This looks pretty cool and appears pretty similar in some ways. Not sure how advanced the late game is as that's where Kittens Game REALLY shines. Is there a version for Android? I see CivCrafter, but that looks like a monetized knocko

If you want to get a taste with a quality game that doesn't prey on people with IAP, check out Kittens Game.[1] You can play free online. I paid $2 one-time fee to play on my phone. There's a vibrant community on /r/kitt

I use Sheets for work and increasingly a bunch of personal stuff. I wish Google would invest more in customization of visuals and such with charts and allow for better pivot functionality, but otherwise it is pretty solid. I can't see

Can you be an effective C-level as an IC? Or by definition of the role does that preclude it?

Wish there were some data available on the efficacy of it for them. As a marketer, broadcast is always an interesting one to watch as budgets shift to digital.

Pinterest is indeed very vulnerable, and potentially already in the crosshairs. Google just recently launched Shoppable Ads in GIS. [1] Further, from a user value standpoint, image searching quite often a tool for visual purchase planning.

Competing on features and winning in the marketplace can be enough. Facebook wasn't the first social network. Google wasn't the first search engine. People had plenty of choice.

To be fair, the general cycle is that any ad network/publisher platform tends to get started with the shady affiliate and performance marketing scene, and then as they grow, they gradually get on the radar of more "reputable"

There are two main ways an ad business grows. Create more inventory to sell, and increase the value of that inventory. Maps data had presumably been doing the latter behind the scenes. Now it appears to also be doing the former. Would you b

A big part of becoming less risk adverse, and getting more confident, is having success to build upon as a reminder that while you won't always win, you won't always lose, and that's ok. Specific to your problems, consider th

Can you speak at all to what sort of modeling work is done around this sort of major partnership? I'm really curious how many people are involved in that sort of exercise at that level and how clean the data is, what sorts of data are

Just wait until people read up on cookie onboarding. This is how some apps and sites that don't show ads or sell things can make money. They are literally selling your data. The irony is, I've seen quite a bit of industry chatter

I did a similar switch and made a spreadsheet to model it all out. I lost money in the first year, and ended up saving roughly $500/year every subsequent year. And that was after buying a $400 grinder and $700 espresso machine and misc

I think you are equating the entire Bay Area to the Tenderloin. I'm in the mid-peninsula. I've never lived somewhere safer and feel markedly safer after having lived in Chicago most of my life in nice neighborhoods.

I've heard if you keep one foundational wall even for an otherwise complete teardown it is beneficial from a tax standpoint. I'd love to know more details about how that works.

Oddly enough, I'm hooked on Kittens Game, which I consider far superior to the Paperclip game. The level of depth is astounding. That said, I've used it to meditate on attachment, automation, abstraction, and other interesting con

The "slow morning" thing is real. No matter what, my brain does not turn on till close to lunch time. Being a morning person would make life easier in a lot of ways, but it just isn't how I'm wired.
