What "culture and resources" will Google bring that will benefit anyone except Googlers?
- tzakrajs 9y agoThere are tons of books written about Google's culture, but my favorite is ”How Google Works” by Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg. With regard to resources, Google has by far has the most sophisticated access to future tech (quantum, ML for example), the most infrastructure (GGC, oceanic fiber, DC/pops), and their incredible scale comes with great advantages.
- ForHackernews 9y agoWell, that's an appropriately non-responsive answer. Thanks!
- tzakrajs 9y agoI edited my answer. Sorry for the lag time.
- kuschku 9y agoSo even more research becoming only possible at companies, and not at public universities? Even more research that will be kept secret? Even more infrastructure that is only available to the Google monopoly? No thanks.
