If my post is an inaccurate or unfair portryal of what Google is doing, Daniel, then perhaps you and your co-workers who have been downvoting (and I assume flagging) me can enlighten me as to what Google's actual goal is here?
- DannyBee 8y agoSo, let's look at this, for example. You've made a lot of assumptions in this set of two sentences with simply nothing to back them up. That's not helpful or kind, and contributes precisely nothing but noise.
- apatters 8y agoI think what he's really doing is downvoting you and being snarky toward you because you're a Google employee. Maybe what he's doing is immature, but a growing number of people feel that Google is bad for society and that aiding and abetting it is immoral. I know personally I wouldn't work for the Google of today.
- tptacek 8y agoI wouldn't either (though not for any of the reasons anyone on this thread have brought up, which are, um, stupid) but we are all required to be civil on this site. Accusing someone of brigading for their employer is uncivil. Also, in this case, stupid.
- dang 8y agoYou don't know who has been downvoting or flagging, and making insinuations about this is explicitly against the HN guidelines. Trotting out someone's given name in that confrontational way is also a cheap bit of incivility. If you continue to break the site guidelines, we will eventually ban you, so please https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow the rules from now on, regardless of how you feel about Google, China, or any other topic.
