- kibibu 4mo agoTechnically, you can make money without doing evil.
- mrandish 4mo agoI heard they actually changed to this wording from the original, which for a long time was "Don't be evil." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil
- ChoGGi 4mo agoYou heard? It was a fairly big controversy when they did get around to removing it.
- mrandish 4mo agoYep, I remember seeing the headline. I clicked in, read the sub-head and first few sentences, hit the back button, and moved on, having duly noted the passing of one more milestone in Google's long descent. The reasons why it sucks, why they eventually did it and the vague, implausible PR justifications for doing it were all self-derivable from the headline and sub-head. I doubt I missed anything of significant substance, but didn't want to assert factual knowledge, so I just linked the Wikipedia article (which I also didn't read into). Don't interpret my skipping the rumination step with excusing or dismissing Google's decline. I don't need to rubber-neck every step of a slow-mo, multi-year train wreck to lament that it happened and update my priors regarding Google.
