I don't understand the hate at this memo. Isn't it a fact that Google is much more open and a much more prolific contributor to the open source community than its main competitors?
- houseabsolute 17y agoHumans have a biological distaste for hypocrisy and bullshit, even if the entity spouting them is generally better than those against which it is being compared.
- Herring 17y agoSo what you're saying is don't commit to anything unless you're perfect. Got it.
- houseabsolute 17y agoWhat I'm saying is that humans might react more negatively to your failings than you might expect if you believed humans were coldly rational beings, especially if those failings conflict directly with what you say you believe. Honestly I thought this was common knowledge.
- Herring 17y agoYou mean "percieved" failings. I think they should have put the point concerning their search and ads products in bold & at the top. In my experience ad-hom attacks are a knee-jerk reaction to an argument that isnt easily refuted. From your language it sounded like you agree with the attacks.
