Thank you for mentioning this. My initial reaction when I saw this was a chilling sadness of "who did Google X screw over to get this?"
I hope the whole Google X nonsense gets scrapped. Doing things like they do has a real chilling effect on sharing of ideas.
- ForHackernews 8y agoCan you expand on this comment a little more? Why does it matter which division of Alphabet corp makes something?
- burgerboy 8y agoCause Google is bad mmmkay don't question the hive mind
- madengr 8y agoYouTube can censor your videos, but Google fiber can’t, though they are under the same umbrella.
- Buge 8y agoCensorship isn't really a product. Also a website censoring itself vs an ISP censoring a website can be thought of as different actions. A website developing a hand sensor vs an ISP developing a hand sensor seem essentially the same. (Censor vs sensor pun not intended.)
- chaser7016 8y agoNot sure why mcny comment is downvoted as seen in the thread above and other articles in Wired and elsewhere... Google X and ATAP blatantly steals innovation/technology and claims it as its own.
- LargeCompanies 8y agoNot sure why your downvoted? It’s well documented from the links above to other articles on the web that Google ATAP and X blatantly steal innovation. From project loon to that city project in which they hired the inventor.. he worked at X then they let him go saying they were canceling the project but that was a lie and more.
