Let's hope this doesn't get flagged and buried like the "Google CEO should be fired" link. This is clearly relevant to a large percentage of Hackernews readers and bears discussion. There irony of stories related to this getting flagged and hidden is rich.
- alexandercrohde 9y agoI know nothing about the "CEO should be fired" link (nor does it sound like something I'd want to read). But I can wholeheartedly agree that this is one of the deepest, most emotional divides I've seen in an otherwise fairly united community. I think it's been continually swept under the rug for years because companies don't want it associated with their name (remember the whole dongle-joke github thing?), nor should they really.
- peoplewindow 9y agoThere was an op-ed in the New York Times saying Pichai should be fired. The discussion was flagged off the front page. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14990494 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14990494
- briholt 9y agoFlagged. To be fair, if we give people too much information about this issue they might form accurate opinions and that'll really dampen cult membership.
- ribosometronome 9y agoLooks like it's been removed!
- DarkTree 9y agoYeah I only found this by searching for it after hearing about its existence from another news source. Pretty sad
