You're saying the reputation of the hacker news community is weakening in the eyes of Google because they're losing trust in Google based on the company's actions?
- jrockway 13y agoI think he's saying that Google gets negative a million HN points for everything bad they do, and zero points for everything good they do. I've certainly noticed this, but people are programmed to react to controversy and sensationalism, so I'm not surprised to see controversy and sensationalism highly-rated on HN. Just a little sad. Reddit is the same way, but at least people on Reddit don't take themselves so seriously.
- threeseed 13y agoThis is just plain nonsense. Go and AngularJS are two of the most popular technologies on HN. And I can't imagine anyone not believing Google's DB work (BigTable, BigQuery, Dremel) for example is anything but impressive.
- oscargrouch 13y agoGo was pretty much bad received when it pops over here.. after a long and difficult road, its receiving its deserved momentum But unlike Go, Dart is in the web terrain.. things will be much more difficult.. because there are much more people married with javascript .. and the fanatism and emotional reaction is much worse
- jrockway 13y agoI see lots of negativity in Go and AngularJS articles, too. And most of these articles never make it to the front page, while these rants get instant upvotes. Certainly, there is a happy silent majority, but that is much harder to measure and react to than constant angry hate.
