Schmidt, like any good CEO, will always always sell anything his company outputs. You'll never find him criticising anything Google does, maybe in retrospect but never upon launch.

Nexus phones/products have always been made by external partners (HTC, Samsung, LG, etc...), none of which have ever been Motorola. Why does the Moto sale affect the Nexus line?
The price of anything is a function of its supply versus its demand. A non open (or not truly open in this case) kills demand. Without demand for a finite supply (high quality engineers) the supply's worth can never…
Crazy. Some of the comments on this old TechCrunch article about the economics of Outbox look Nostradamus-like http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/25/outbox-digitizes-sf-snail-m... It just never fully made economic sense.…
Love seeing these posts but without any details on what he was doing on the "business side" that failed its unfortunately not very useful for the reader.
really great insight here. thanks for gathering it.
I struggle with this too, my github/bitbucket is a barren wasteland of half finished products. I believe that its fully a mindset thing and realize that success is not an accident nor some ephemeral spark of genius.…
Your theory really only works for places with a large amount of reviews (positive or negative). When you have only a handful of reviews, the need for authenticity grows because they carry much more weight. You would…
Love this! Was in a coding interview once where they just gave you a problem and you were given laptop and time to code out a solution using whatever you would normally use ie stack overflow. First interview I've had…
Indeed, the internets do seem to be trending towards highly focused niches rather than broad services like before.
Glad someone is taking this on. The recent threat to investigative journalism is a real bad indicator to America's future. Hopefully this in conjunction with Aaron Swartz's will really bring some bite back to…
yes, seconded! the most difficult part is not the languages themselves but how to glue everything together... Does anyone on hackernews have a resource like that? Its been such a pain trying to glue together a site.
I could live with the new Compose... its the hidden/floating "Formatting Options" that really grinds my gears.
luckily its open sourced and someone can create a Windows distro if they are so inclined.
As a former Googler definitely agree with the 120% time. But I think its more because its hard to do any work effectively only once a week. So in order to make your 20% time be useful you just have to put in more time…
The US needs to close its tax loopholes and stop blaming people for taking advantage of its own terrible laws. As long as the loopholes exist its in everyones best interests to take advantage of everything they can.
Don't be dragged down by the weight of your past decisions. Do what you need to be happy tomorrow. And from your post its pretty obvious to me what that would be.
if you want single column theres an option under More called Steam Layout
@jack-r-abbit: its just a setting in your browser, chrome makes it sticky so once you set it for your google+ page you should always see it zoomed in/out to your setting
no, but its pretty apparent that the G+ team doesn't think it matters. 3 columns just helps my brain get on that same wavelength, whether I agree with it or not :)
I find it makes more sense when you're zoomed out enough to have it rearrange itself into 3 columns vs 2. When its at 2 columns I waste a lot of eye and brain strength trying to make some order out of it. But when its…
why would advertising skew the factual information presented in wikipedia? Advertising is based off content, content isn't based off advertising.
Except none of those launchers remove functionality like the Facebook launcher is doing by hiding your status bar and removing widgets. The 4+ star rated launchers add functionality to android.
