Are we sure that the things listed here will not go away in a few years if Google continues to exist?

People bringing up this site in this specific way is a pet peeve of mine. What's the largest product that they sunset with no replacement? Stadia? Given the number of products Google has, I wouldn't consider their track record below average.

And they reimbursed all purchases, including hardware you got to keep.

As sad as killing Stadia was (it's still the best cloud gaming service, the UX was marvelous), it couldn't have been done better.

Well their press releases indicate long term support and then they cancel the projects. This _has_ to have more serious consequences (on businesses mostly, but consumers too) than you are implying. This sort of thing naturally effects consumer/brand loyalty. With such a clear lack of focus on any one solution, why would anyone trust Google going forward with their new products/services?

This is the end result of trying to run your massive corporation like some kind of start-up incubator. No wisdom or strategy, just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.

I agree. The vast majority of products "killed by Google" were ones no one were using and many were consolidated into other products.

Google Reader was fairly popular.

Expected Value

By the way, acquisitions are easier to defend IMO. There are definitely cases of "Business X acquires business Y" that have no anti-competitive intent or anti-competitive consequences. But at least anecdotally, I can say mergers that do not lead to anti-competitive behavior are quite rare.

It is called something like chai in half of the word and something like tea in the other half :)

Not Finnish, but in Turkish (another language without gendered pronouns) I'd use something like "o ne dedi bu ne dedi" (what did that say, what did this say)

I'd guess Finnish has more than one demonstrative pronoun, too :)

> (what did that say, what did this say)

> I'd guess Finnish has more than one demonstrative pronoun, too :)

One of the most common ways to do that in Finnish is talking about how "One (did something) and the other (did something else)"... With the only tiny little problem being that the Finnish for both "one" and "the other", in this context, is "toinen"!

A blockchain-free protocol is not a protocol with "no you can't do anything blockchain related on this" restriction. A blockchain-free protocol is one where the protocol itself does not involve a blockchain. Like HTTP, or FTP, or Gopher, or IRC, SMTP etc.

I remember there was an instance of a soldier being beheaded on the Bosphorus bridge. Not sure about the plural though

It is y/y (comparing Nov 2021 to Nov 2020). m/m 7% inflation is generally something a bit more more catastrophic.

More like two thirds of it, by the way.

Isn't that just erlang?

Snarkiness aside, that would be interesting. Not just as an educational tool, but it might be useful in the same way as erlang is (large, fault-tolerant, massively parallel systems). But with OOP instead of FP (Elixir attempts to be the "friendly"/more conventional version of erlang, but it is still very much a functional language).

The nice thing about doing a Smalltalk is that there is a colossal amount of software built on top of it. I'd love to know how much of that corpus could operate like this. I don't recall ever using locks, but I also never ran ST on a multicore machine either. It's just that the message-passing idea matches a many-core machine so well it's a shame not to play with it.
