The people complaining about this better not be the same Thiel worshippers who constitute most of the Google hate here.
Thiel criticizes Google/Alphabet for hoarding any cash at all. A true technology company re-invests all its excess profit.

- dredmorbius 10y agoI can criticise the headline (if that's what you're referring to) while hating on many things that Google do (advertising, crapification of the Web, TPP support, absolutely atrocious user support, a pathetic Android environemnt, from OS to apps to hardware/vendor dynamics. But idiotic jabs on the fact that long-run investments in R&D haven't paid off immediately are pathetically stupid. Do I contradict myself? Very well. No I don't!
