Well, you can just treat them like they are anybody else. So, $1000 fine plus a point on the license of Waymo. And as suggested by another commenter in the thread, if the cars in the fleet (collectively) accumulate more than 4 points within 12 months, Waymo loses its license. As in, all cars operated by Waymo.

Is that how any corporate fleet works?

corporate fleets have different driver per the vehicle, not same code running everything

Practically; yes. MMOs have been doing this kind of thing (Preventing alteration / automation of the client) for ages now.


GraphQL and SQL are about as related as Java and Javascript


Are we sure that the things listed here will not go away in a few years if Google continues to exist?

People bringing up this site in this specific way is a pet peeve of mine. What's the largest product that they sunset with no replacement? Stadia? Given the number of products Google has, I wouldn't consider their track record below average.


And they reimbursed all purchases, including hardware you got to keep.

As sad as killing Stadia was (it's still the best cloud gaming service, the UX was marvelous), it couldn't have been done better.


Well their press releases indicate long term support and then they cancel the projects. This _has_ to have more serious consequences (on businesses mostly, but consumers too) than you are implying. This sort of thing naturally effects consumer/brand loyalty. With such a clear lack of focus on any one solution, why would anyone trust Google going forward with their new products/services?

This is the end result of trying to run your massive corporation like some kind of start-up incubator. No wisdom or strategy, just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.


I agree. The vast majority of products "killed by Google" were ones no one were using and many were consolidated into other products.


Google Reader was fairly popular.


> vast majority

By the way, acquisitions are easier to defend IMO. There are definitely cases of "Business X acquires business Y" that have no anti-competitive intent or anti-competitive consequences. But at least anecdotally, I can say mergers that do not lead to anti-competitive behavior are quite rare.


It is called something like chai in half of the word and something like tea in the other half :)

Not Finnish, but in Turkish (another language without gendered pronouns) I'd use something like "o ne dedi bu ne dedi" (what did that say, what did this say)

I'd guess Finnish has more than one demonstrative pronoun, too :)


> (what did that say, what did this say)

> I'd guess Finnish has more than one demonstrative pronoun, too :)

One of the most common ways to do that in Finnish is talking about how "One (did something) and the other (did something else)"... With the only tiny little problem being that the Finnish for both "one" and "the other", in this context, is "toinen"!


A blockchain-free protocol is not a protocol with "no you can't do anything blockchain related on this" restriction. A blockchain-free protocol is one where the protocol itself does not involve a blockchain. Like HTTP, or FTP, or Gopher, or IRC, SMTP etc.


I remember there was an instance of a soldier being beheaded on the Bosphorus bridge. Not sure about the plural though
