I would love to understand what they mean when they say "looks hollow". How can you tell what's inside by looking at the outside, short of the thing being transparent?
Someone responded that Google is terrified of being left being Microsoft. I think that's hilarious because it highlights the thing google should actually be terrified of - the fact that it has lost the capacity to innovate (same applies to MS, FB, etc).
This is a company that has consistently lied about everything it can. I'm thinking things like ads views, engagement etc. Basically things that no one outside the company can disprove.
Now, the article says that the stock jumped on lower projected costs. Hmm I wonder if this company will lie about projected costs, which is something no one outside the company can disprove.
So yeah, I did read the article, and I agree the fundamentals didn't change much.
No, there is NO truth to the statement. The fact that the USA also does other bad things had no bearing on who's at fault in this war starting or continuing.
The war started because Russia started it and continues because Russia continues it. Russia could stop it tomorrow if they wanted it. Ukraine doesnt have that option.
Excuse me. The are the actions of Russia, not the USA. The USA, and other Western nations, are providing support to a country that wants to defend itself from an aggressor.
In 1939 when Germany invaded Poland, the UK and France did nothing to help. Let's not make the same mistake again.
With all these lessons learned, why did they stop trying? They didn't run out of money a they never left their day job.
Also... It's ok if you can't code and pay someone to do it, but why not learn the absolute minimum in order to be able to implement quick hacks when necessary? It's not like knowing how to code is a generic trait you're born with.
I agree the two are different in some respects; at the same time I think the idea that baseless insinuations undermine the conversation works just as well towards news articles as towards HN users.
You mean, like balloons?
