To be clear, my comment wasn't a pro Elon comment at all, I was just pointing out that you sounded like an unhinged chronically online redditor, and that it would probably be good for your mental health to move to a cabin in the woods for a few months. Enjoy the sun and fishing. I don't have a dog in this reddit-vs-the-rich fight one way or another.

As for my investment in replying, it's fun I guess? What else is there to do when you're not hustling all day?

Yeah the current Board is the best we've had in many decades and is trying to get creative about working around the restrictions, but as you can see in that article they're still in the rulemaking stage, after which the new proposed penalties will have to survive court challenges - not easy under this SCOTUS.

It’s not surprising since companies operate the basis of having security on industry standards. The problem with that is the standards for industries is pretty low and this is the outcome. Which is why companies shouldn’t be thinking of their IT department as an after thought.

There were also other searches before google search. Ideas are cheap, execution is what matters and google has been at the forefront of many technological leaps.

Obviously companies buy each other at different stages of development and you can have discussions about who deserves credit for what. But at least in my mind to try and diminish everything google has done in the past 2 decades is ignorant.

What sucks is that makes some good products here in the US but treats it’s workers like shit. In Musk’s eyes and the rest of the billionaires we are just surfs there to make them wealthier. I wanted a Tesla Power Wall for my solar system but I’m not going to give him my money. It’s the only power we have.

It seems from a literal dog food company who's own employees would never feed their dogs the product they make because it was so bad.

This then caused them to recognize their inferior product and rally around improving it. It's a pretty important concept in managing a business, what employee performs well if they themselves wouldn't use the product they make.

>Sums up everything google does... They don't have any new ideas. Just copy others and they fail because they are always second,..

This is what you said initially which did not include 'Google used to be good in the past but NOW they suck.

You also completely ignore their work on AI past few years?
