Google doesn't pay for transit. Their private glass was the whole reason the acquisition worked.

Workspace is under cloud but consumer stuff like Google 1 plans have their own line item.

It's absurd to say that Google did not develop YouTube. They acquired it at a point where it was a galaxy-scale cash incinerator and made it work economically using their superior platform.

There are relatively few ways to mask the fact that a car weighs 2000kg. One of the non-ways of solving that problem is to put ultra-low-profile tires on huge wheels to make it look cool online and ride like shit.

It's annoying that there is no way to just pay the marginal difference between Premium Lite and Premium for AI Pro subscribers. I have a bunch of interacting subsidies from Google Fi, Pixel phone purchases, and Google One AI Pro, but it's hard to keep them straight.

I am a big fan of WUFFS but some recent developments by people assisted by AIs writing format parsers in other languages has made me question whether it will be maintained or forgotten.

How many people judge their tools based on the AES key entropy?

Web search AI summary doesn't have "alignment" ... all it is doing is RAG on the docs from the first page of the SERP.

Everything at Google rolls out incrementally to different populations of users so no matter what feature they are announcing there is a good chance you can't see it yet. When they announced Gemini 4 Argon it was 2 days before I could use it.

Live state of IMEI corresponding to every cell would be technically easy. Most of the stuff that goofballs imagine the NSA doing are technically impractical or even thermodynamically impossible.

It isn't "fuckery" as such. There's just an industry of selling dossiers on individuals, groups, or populations that is way, way more intrusive than what people imagine about online advertising, and they have been doing it for decades. It's data on the open market.
