So you’re saying that increasing the number of doctors will result in more medical services being consumed which means higher costs for the gov?

That’s the view of the government?

> At least that's my observation

30 seconds of serious thought would tell you that your observation is wrong.

Again, a news organization can just change their robots.txt to block google from indexing their site.

They don't do that because that would instantly kill all their search traffic... and most likely kill their business.

If CNN changed their robots.txt to stop being indexed by Google, Google would literally lose 0 users.

> I wasn't picking a side as much as earnestly asking how OP concluded that its the news sites wanting something free from Google versus the other way around.

It's been explained to you several times. Instead you're more interested in acting self-righteous (it's honestly pretty cringeworthy).

What are you even talking about? That's not how SEO works in the slightest....?

Lol am I still reading HN or is this Reddit?

You can see the Core Web Vitals. What modern day news organizations are doing is nowhere close to that.

No but the company isn't trying to develop software that's best for the user. They're trying to develop software that's best for their bottom line.

> while real applications have seemingly gotten worse

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not sure I agree.

Modern day applications are doing far, far more than they were 10-15 years ago. Much more traffic, much more data, much more tracking (unfortunately), etc.

I agree with you, but PG’s definition of rich in the article is people worth $10 billion dollars plus.

I don’t think he’s being malicious. I think he genuinely just doesnt see a $5-10m NW as rich.

That depends entirely on your definition of rich.

PG's definition of rich is probably 100x what yours is.

This feels like using the internet in 1996 or the iPhone in 2010. Not quite there yet, but you can clearly see that this is going to be massive within a few years.

Yep, the only solution is more disinformation police.

Clearly they saved us during the pandemic!

theverge's coverage of anything not directly related to gadget reviews is always incredibly biased, sensationalist and usually wrong.

> But if what you say is actually true

You can google it if you want. It's all public info.

Isaacson also wrote a book on Musk and there's a chapter about this pay package and how absurd it was.
