    I didn't say it's the quality of the people (Google is very selective, and that's a good thing). However, and it's certainly related to your reply, Google topology changed a lot, and due to this it seems (will not elaborate on the impact of such a structure becoming gigantic) the recent developments are less refined and innovative as they used to be.

    Well, year-after next I'll be 50. But I'm already working for Google. What should I do?

    Train/choose better the newbies. Google did great stuff a few years ago, but over time the pioneers were promoted, and the newer generations are not as innovative and code efficient as their elders.

    As long as you are an accomplished researcher with at least one PhD, a founder of at least one industry and all around good guy. Then, go ahead. Ivy League MBAs are acceptable with the same conditions.

    Low cost mission. Is Trump likely to cut into NASA budget? Or will the coming Chinese space plans be an incentive for Trump to push and encourage more ambitious space missions?

    Why are you complaining. Netflix uses Apple as a Guinea pig, and when the app works perfect, they'll publish the Android version.

    the MBP is not in the running. The Surface is looking pretty good. I already started to migrate out of the Apple ecosystem. Just a few last ties left then I'm free.

    Apple --> Microsoft, is that really the path to freedom?

    Oh yeah, it also has a bunch of USB ports, a full size SD card reader, full size ethernet, 3.5mm jacks, full sized video port and upgradable SSD and RAM (I upgraded both) and upgradable wifi (I never did that). Very convenient.
