are there any indications at all that goog ever expected to turn driverless cars into a business?

no cause thats the whole point with these pie in the sky projects, u dont have to deal with hard things like the realities of figuring out how to create a viable business. 15 years out is too long a time frame for google's goldfish engineers/management to think about commercializing the technology. they'll probably have moved on to the next company 3 times by then.



if the clowns at google actually studied steve jobs' career this would all be blatantly obvious

yes, steve jobs was noticeable for coming up with completely stupid ideas that wasted company time and didn't become successes, like the macintosh

I use bootstrap because it's unironically very good and I can't think of any viable alternatives.

ah-ha, it was not the articles but the comments that caused this: a youtube-commenter wants their name disassociated from a comment and in response google blackholes the whole article

not only did google hurt the reforming youtube-commenter who's trying to pull their life back together - by risking their name to a whole lot of unwanted new exposure - they also hurt their customers by cutting the number of ad views they get and they hurt their users by making search worse

good job being petulant children about a court ruling you don't like

they didn't even blackhole the article

if you search on the public figure in the article, it still shows up in results

if you search for the name of the private individual, the article does not show up

so actually google did this 100% right but then told the article author who in turn wrote an article stating they had been black-holed when in fact they had not. this is exactly what google is hoping for, lots of FUD going around

I think google blackholed them completely at first, then emailed the bloggers or journalists who confirmed the articles being delisted, only to turn around to reinstate the links and do it properly once they got the publicity they wanted

I mean, I hope google didn't reveal the names of the private individuals from whom the requests came to those who wrote the articles... that would have been a huge, huge breach of privacy...

so nobody should be able to tell whether those names are or are not associated with the comments to be able to verify

which has caused a change from the initial round of "wtf this is stupid as poo poo" stories to all the media starting to pick up on the hamfisted attempt at malicious compliance. the media hates censorship but hates being used as a PR outlet (without being paid) even more.

what do they hope to get out of this? do they think the eu is going to turn around and reverse years of personal privacy rules, enshrined in the european convention on human rights, just because of an out-of area monopolist throwing a blatant temper tantrum over being told the law actually applies to them? hell Eric Schmidt is on record as saying that in the glorious technofuture everyone will get a free name change to escape their online stupid teenage years past
