Has Google done anything with Waze other than buy it, or with Google Maps, incorporating some Waze treats? Haven't seen any noteworthy changes to either Waze or Google Maps that one might have (optimistically) expected as becoming both feasible and worthwhile from the deal.
I'd be really surprised if they do a whole lot with it. My impressions was that the main reason they bought Waze was to keep Facebook from acquiring it.
A little more than [the customary] six months, but not much.
Are golden handcuffs not typical at that deal size?

It is annoying. But on the flip side, if the link was included, someone would have invariably commented that the "article reads like an ad". The authors can't win.
I disagree. I think it's MUCH worse when, for example, you read an article about a Kickstarter project on Mashable or TechCrunch only to find that clicking on the hyperlink leads to other articles on those sites about Kickstarter and not the actual project link. I think those sites have gotten better at linking directly when commenters complain.
Awesome idea. The fees on 401Ks are awful. My company has fees on index funds 4 times the competition. When I asked why, I was told, "Because that's the only way we can make money." Umm...... Fidelity does fine with 1/4 the fees, so does Vanguard.
> the 49-year-old Given the prevalence 'youth worship' articles on here lately it is good to point his age out to people. Get out there and make an impact regardless of your age or situation.
Like you I immediately thought of the recent ageism articles on HN and specifically PG's comment about the "cut off" age for consideration for tech-investors being 32.

That article has four links to other articles but not a link to the company it is profiling. I hate when they do that. https://www.feex.com/

What a silly thing to have a 'cut off' age for techies. Like a good Single Malt or Wine, we get better and better with time. Age delivers on certain pragmatism not found in the youth of today :)

> [Uri Levine] decided not to join the ranks of his famous acquirer I think that means he was not acqui-hired. He didn't work for Google after the sale. He just took his money and moved on. Lots of employees of acquired companies don't join their acquirer for one reason or another. I suppose that can work for founders too. I've read of a few founders that were disappointed once they were acqui-hired because they lost…
