The success of Google and Facebook rests largely on the fact that both have spent so much money building data centers and filling them with hardware and software designed by an elite, in-demand set of engineers. In this way they resemble the telegraph giants, with investments in physical infrastructure so large no upstart could match them.

Digital advertising started with people putting banners on websites and targeting users based on what sites they were on. These sites had audiences people trusted, so they wanted to reach them. Then Google and other companies invented audience-based buying, which was all about cookies. Advertisers could find moms interested in buying cars, for example, and target them everywhere on the internet, no matter the site. That carried on for 15 years.
Now there’s starting to be pushback on that model from big brands. You have random, long-tail sites with 25 visits per month that may or may not be brand-safe, and brands like JPMorgan Chase are saying: “No. We want to only be on a few thousand sites, if that.” Because of that, brands are shifting back to buying from premium, curated, real publishers that have an editorial voice, instead of just putting a box on the corner of a random webpage.

I am living in the Google years, no question of that. And there are advantages to it. When you forget something, you can whip out your iPhone and go to Google. The Senior Moment has become the Google moment, and it has a much nicer, hipper, younger, more contemporary sound, doesn't it?

Ironically enough, Wave was a great platform, may they rest in peace. But making something a platform is not going to make you an instant success. A platform needs a killer app. Facebook -- that is, the stock service they offer with walls and friends and such -- is the killer app for the Facebook Platform. And it is a very serious mistake to conclude that the Facebook App could have been anywhere near as successful without the Facebook Platform.

The other big realization he had was that he can't always build the right thing. I think Larry Tesler might have struck some kind of chord in Bezos when he said his mom couldn't use the goddamn website. It's not even super clear whose mom he was talking about, and doesn't really matter, because nobody's mom can use the goddamn website. In fact I myself find the website disturbingly daunting, and I worked there for over half a decade. I've just learned to kinda defocus my eyes and concentrate on the million or so pixels near the center of the page above the fold.
I'm not really sure how Bezos came to this realization -- the insight that he can't build one product and have it be right for everyone. But it doesn't matter, because he gets it. There's actually a formal name for this phenomenon. It's called Accessibility, and it's the most important thing in the computing world.
The. Most. Important. Thing.

Finally, we sped up our application from more than 2.5 seconds to less than 250 milliseconds for longest request. These times occur just in our use case. We are confident that for a larger number of writes or longer eviction period, access to standard cache can take much more time, but with bigcache or freecache it can stay on milliseconds level, because the root of long GC pauses was eliminated.

The best request is a request that does not need to communicate with the server: a local copy of the response allows us to eliminate all network latency and avoid data charges for the data transfer. To achieve this, the HTTP specification allows the server to return a number of different Cache-Control directives that control how, and for how long, the individual response can be cached by the browser and other intermediate caches.

Fetching something over the network is both slow and expensive: large responses require many roundtrips between the client and server, which delays when they are available and can be processed by the browser, and also incurs data costs for the visitor. As a result, the ability to cache and reuse previously fetched resources is a critical aspect of optimizing for performance.

DOM recycling is a underutilized technique to keep the DOM node count low. The general idea is to use already created DOM elements that are off-screen instead of creating new ones. Admittedly, DOM nodes themselves are cheap, but they are not free, as each of them adds extra cost in memory, layout, style and paint. Low-end devices will get noticeably slower if not completely unusable if the website has too big of a DOM to manage.

For many years, machine learning was considered a specialty, limited to an elite few. That era is over, as recent results indicate that machine learning, powered by ‘neural nets’ that emulate the way a biological brain operates, is the true path towards imbuing computers with the powers of humans, and in some cases, super humans. Google is committed to expanding that elite within its walls, with the hope of making it the norm.

The problem is that network effects just aren’t as durable as they used to be...Currently, modern technology — fueled by software, the internet, and the cloud — makes it possible for a challenger to enter the market at minimal cost. Price competition doesn’t matter much since the winner that took all isn’t charging anything to some of its customers anyway —no one pays to send or receive messages on WhatsApp, for example. And, most importantly, it’s easier to reach consumers. Competition may not be “just a click away,” as internet giants often tell regulators, but it’s sure a lot easier to start an online platform than it was to build a telephone network.

Experience also shows us that that network effects can also work in reverse, and destroy value with explosive speed. This has happened to many shopping malls. When consumer traffic drops a little, a few stores leave, the mall becomes less attractive. Then traffic reduces a little more, more stores leave, and the mall officially shutters. Internet companies, such as MySpace in the U.S., and Orkut in Brazil and India, have suffered similar fates as well.

But the new economics of multisided platforms, which we explore in detail in Matchmakers, shows that the winner-takes-all theory doesn’t describe most internet platforms. What markets have these companies actually won? If you think Google is the winner in search, Facebook in social networks, and Twitter in microblogging, you might be half right. They might have “won” the ability to give people certain kinds of content and services for free. But all of these companies pay investors, at least in part, by selling advertising to marketers who want to reach more eyeballs. None of them have “won” that side of the market. In fact, they are all competing with many others for advertiser dollars.

If you truly believe in the potential of your company to change the world for the better, there's no excuse for settling for an acquisition. An acquisition is the end of a dream. Today's titans push the ideal of acquisition because they're afraid of future competitors. Google knows that its biggest threat could come from two grad students, the Larry and Sergey of 2013. If you're an entrepreneur who's been seduced by the dream of acquisition, you're basically giving up before you even try. It's OK to sell your company if you're honest about it: 'This didn't work out, so we're selling.' But there's a dishonesty among many entrepreneurs. They say, 'Our mission will continue' or 'Nothing will change.' In fact, the mission was lost, and everything will change.
