Fuck the food. Who cares about hammocks. Isn't this most geek's wet dream?
- gnosis 15y agoOnly if they're hypothesis on something I care about, and not about how I can get people to click more ads or make more money for some trendy corporation.
- dholowiski 15y agoThat's the point... "to test out some hypothesis" - this is something you can do just for fun if you work at Google.

- jrockway 15y agognosis' arguments seem worth refuting. I can see how someone outside of Google would assume that using 4000 machines to scan the Internet on some whim would be a big deal. But at Google, it's not. That's why working at Google is so cool.
- adgar 15y agoI'm saying somebody who blithely asserts that Google is just "about how I can get people to click more ads or make more money for some trendy corporation" is a troll and not a comment worth responding to.
