Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

During this small group discussion, I and others tried to get our Googlers to address the biggest problem facing our industry: Google giving big brands special treatment. Each time a site owner brought up the topic, we were quickly steered in another direction.

Funeral? Poppycock, KPIs are great. Bloodwork is coming in excellent. Perfect cholesterol, low leukocytes, beautiful plumage. So what if he's braindead?

Radical thought, maybe read the article?

If hostile sarcasm is all you can bring to a conversation, just keep quiet and breath it out. Everyone feels agravated sometimes. Find healthier ways to deal with it.

Radical thought, maybe I did? (hint: the end of the article say's google's funeral not theirs hence the question).

it's no one's job but one's own to educate oneself. In your case, you should look for a new educator.

Yeah, you never went to school or asked for help. Everything you know or have achieved is on your own. Explains a few things.

Oh I see. You are mentally a child and require people to spoon feed you information. Let me spell this out for you then. You are mentally a child and require people to spoon feed you information.

If instead of insults you wrote explanations, the world would be a little bit less shitty place.

I think it's perhaps some wishful thinking. The atmosphere was distopic and they were being obviously used without accomplishing anything they needed. I think the author probably wishes the state Google is in is going to catch up with it. Or perhaps it's a funeral because the good old search engine is dead.
