I am assuming that he is joining as a manager, so he can bring candidates in for hiring. Also, surely whatever triggered his Google exit must not be an issue at Apple, since he decided to join there. That should be good enough for the two f

It would be quite hypocritical if he didn't.

That's true, I was just explaining why one would think DDG is a Yahoo customer.

Search revenue was $31,879 billion in Q1 and YT revenue was $6,005 billion. It doesn't seem like you're paying attention.

DDG was a collection of perl scripts around Yahoo BOSS (Build You Own Search Service), which is now backed by Bing. Nowadays, DDG has vastly outgrown its original serving by adding their most crucial ingredient: Privacy FUD.

$360M in profit wouldn't translate to a "dead" entity, but if we're to focus on your numbers then Google (that has 24.4X more monthly visitors) would be earning about $2.9B to $8.8B per year from ad clicks. As in most ca

Yahoo is the 8th most visited property in the world [1] and still brings in billions in revenue. Pretty good for a "dead" entity. [1] https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-50-most-visited-website...

The question stands: Where is the "net loss" statement coming from ?

Let's not trivialize the value that was added to Hadoop from many other companies since its early Yahoo days.

YouTube is a net loss ? Where is that coming from ? It brought in $6BN revenue just in Q1 [1]. [1] https://abc.xyz/investor/static/pdf/2021Q1_alphabet_earnings...

They made $1.9BN just this quarter.

Doubtful that they lost money. The company has probably returned some profit over all these years. They got a huge tax benefit from the 2018 write-off, $1BN from selling the Yahoo buildings to Google, and now $5BN from selling 90% of it.

Jimi went from a $5 acoustic in 1958 to being dead in 1970. That's less time than what it takes most of us to go through our GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) and just enjoy playing the darned thing.

One could get a Line 6 Variax and play with endless variations on body types, pickups, tunings and recordings of vintage guitars. Old ones can be had for very little these days.

> I do want to point out that print debugging has one critical feature that most step-based debuggers don’t have: you can see program state from multiple time steps all at once. At Google, we have time-traveling debuggers neatly integrat

Agreed. Plus, I find the "oh, we didn't know what we were doing, you're not an inviting community" social engineering response, completely slimey and off-putting.

I think the point is that the driver was fully confident that the car would do a much better job at driving compared to them.

Nobody hates you. The gallup just shows that your belief system is slowly becoming irrelevant. If you can still draw anything from it (while leaving the rest of the competing sects alone), all the more power to you.
