$1 per stop is chump change for a company like Google. I don't see how this fee will create any difference for what the protestors are demanding. And this type of fee reminds me of a Freakonomics article that talked about how a daycare

I like how CTF is becoming more educational and less of a hacking competition. Can't wait to see what CTF3 brings.

+1 to this suggestion! Something that feels as seamless as Dropbox would make my dreams come true. And even better if it could sync to different providers of my choosing, e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. etc.

I believe F1 is the SQL DB that powers ads (AdWords, AdSense, etc.) and is used in production for consumer-facing apps. Dremel is more of a data/log analysis tool, but doesn't typically interact directly with consumer-facing apps.

Is Presto meant mainly for ad hoc internal analysis or is it fast enough for user-facing features as well?

Tesla's still a young company and is bound to have some quarters ending in losses for various reasons as they try to reach economies of scale. As an investor, I still feel confident that Elon Musk's "master plan" (see:

I had a similar experience with my cousin, except with Chrome OS. His laptop died and he asked to borrow any extra laptops I had around, and the only one I happened to have was a Chrome OS machine. I was worried he'd need a more deskto

Yeah that's absolutely correct. Google has more initiatives than they can produce internally and so a lot of work is contracted to external vendors/agencies, which can have security concerns. The withgoogle.com domain allows Googl

I think Google prefers to support existing open source projects that are successful. Internally, a lot of Java engineers at Google use Eclipse, which is a great IDE for Java development. No need to re-invent the wheel, instead it makes more
