It's not much about Microsoft. At least it improved human life in serious ways (Typescript, VSCode,...). What did Google bring to my life ? Nothing except for spam stuffs from Ad, Email,...
You're responsible for your data, not Google, not Microsoft.
- kareemsabri 4y agoI can't imagine thinking typescript improved human life more than Google Search
- amartya916 4y agoWhile it might be fashionable to hate on Google, the question "What did Google bring to my life" seems really odd. I can't believe I have to say this but search, and more importantly good/fast search, is to Google's credit. Typescript and VSCode all have, and will continue to have alternatives, but for a long time, Google was (some may argue it still is) the bleeding edge of search. Anyway, there might be a generational thing at play here, if so, I meant no condescension.
- revskill 4y agoYou're making assumptions. I listed facts.
- thefurdrake 4y agoYeah, I'm gonna need to see some citation on how Typescript and VSCode improved life for humanity. Break out some of them facts you're talking about.
- revskill 4y agoI specify "my life", not other's life, and it's a fact. Why bother then (i'm curious)?
- monkey_monkey 4y agoUm no... > At least it improved human life in serious ways (Typescript, VSCode,...).
- revskill 4y agoYou mean "fast bullshit ads" ? I mean "meaningful search results". They're different.
- thefurdrake 4y ago... Did you reply to the wrong individual?
- thefurdrake 4y agoYou said it "improved human life" my dude. Everyone can scroll up and read.
- canadianfella 4y ago[dead]
- chris_wot 4y agoSo you think that Google doesn't do fast search? OK.
- NegativeK 4y agoYou don't seem to be interested in a debate.
- rewgs 4y agoWhat an absurd statement. I don't have especially strong feelings for Google in any direction, but I can't deny that, even if Google had only done search or Maps, that alone would be a massive boon for society.
- erklik 4y agoUh... Maps? Open, Permissive phone OS compared to the alternative? Greatest entertainment/information system, especially one that's democraticsed producing media? In terms dev-related stuff, TensorFlow - literally something that's made today's ML possible, Kubernetes, BigTable, MapReduce, and yknow, that good old thing called Chrome.. I understand hating on Google. They're not that great, but none of the FAANG are "great".. They all have some terrible bits, some good bits. However, to say that Google has not provided anything except "spam stuffs" is very wrong. Search alone has changed the entire way that humans consume information. I would say that today's internet landscape, for better or worse, would not exist without Google.
- revskill 4y agoI don't use Phone, nor Maps, nor Youtube, nor Kubernetes, all the things you listed. They're helpful to you, not me.
- knome 4y agothis setup and response seem a little silly to me. "what did the romans ever do for me?" "roads? aquaducts?" "ha! I don't go anywhere and drink well water!"
- revskill 4y agoIt's fine right ? Life gives you many choices.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoBut no man is an island, the minimum reproductive unit of homo sapiens is a village, etc. You may not use those things directly, but you're dependent on those who do.
- revskill 4y agoJust because Google has it, it doesn't mean a mean to an end. There're choices for you to make. It's your choice.
