Starting at 13:45, Sergey and Larry try to explain recursion and idempotentence on Fresh Air.

- matchu 12y agoI don't think this is a coincidence, exactly. There was a protester shouting over the recent I/O keynote that Google is "a totalitarian company that builds robots that kill people" in reference to Boston Dynamics. Folks who think that the accusation is overblown have been joking about Google's "killer robot" program, so this easter egg is likely Google poking fun at the allegation.
- fixermark 12y agoIt's an odd allegation, given that robots built by Unit Handling Systems have killed more people than Boston Dynamics.
- vskr 12y agoWhat does killer-robots.txt mean. And what do /+LarryPage links point to? (His google plus profile?)
- arcanus 12y agoThis is a joke: the robots.txt is a file on websites used to give instructions about their site to web crawlers. Disallow: tells the robot that it should not visit those particular pages on a site. Or in this case, terminate those individuals.

- Pacabel 12y agoNot everybody here is technical, and not every technical person necessarily has web development experience. I've personally worked with some brilliant embedded software developers and compiler writers who likely wouldn't know what a robots.txt file is, because they've focused their skills and talents elsewhere. Despite not knowing what a robots.txt file is, they're still far more technically capable than even the best web developers I've ever encountered.
- idank 12y agoThis is probably a joke with a reference to Terminator, where T1000 and T800 are "killer" robots. So if those robots obey web standards, they should not kill Larry Page or Sergey Brin when they destroy Google.
- thegeomaster 12y agoWhat about Schmidt? He can fight T-1000 and T-800 by himself?

- edmman 12y agoTrue to form for Google -- always protecting the higher-ups...
- doragcoder 12y agoApparently Google is not the only one on the internet fighting against killer robots. I found this a few years back... http://developer.appcelerator.com/robots.txt http://developer.appcelerator.com/robots.txt
- pshinghal 12y agoWell, technically this one is protecting killer robots, isn't it?
- BuildTheRobots 12y agoWebfusion's always amused me: http://mirrors.webfusion.com/robots.txt http://mirrors.webfusion.com/robots.txt
- onethumb 12y agoI guess the other models (T-850, T-101, etc) are free to go after Larry & Sergey? Great example of whitelists vs blacklists. :)
