As far as I can see, the wording on Google's pages is fine. It's just that someone else submitted it to HN under an editorialized title.

- GabeWeiss_ 4y agoCorrect, we (Google) didn't make the post, so unfortunately we don't have access to changing the title. Just have to hope folks read the comments.
- choppaface 4y agoNo but you wrote the article, and you have a lot of people who could email hn@ycombinator.com to get the advert corrected. Again, this is more about repeatedly poor customer service than accuracy of this specific article.
- choppaface 4y agoTo be clear, Google Cloud always had a free $300 trial. The Spanner news is confusing at best, but most likely clickbait. If you really want Spanner in your default $300 free trial, you can just ask ops to enable / increase quota for it. The OP is a promotion advert disguised as a major service change and written as a PM. That goes to the core of the untrustworthy behavior that I've observed from GCloud reps over multiple contracts.
- GabeWeiss_ 4y agoNot sure what you mean here. The Spanner trial is a completely separate thing from the $300 starting credits. So if you use the Spanner free trial, you aren't spending any part of the $300 credits during that trial period. You can also start the free Spanner trial regardless if you've spent the $300 starting credits in the past.
