Exactly. The main way to get promoted at Google is to claim that you launched something important. Results in a lot of busywork and misaligned incentives.

That amazing internal knowledge graph you're talking about folks on the outside never seeing? That is very ironic because that knowledge graph used to be Freebase.com and a lot of …

I think it's far from a fad, the adoption of the semantic web has been enormous in the past 5 years. Almost every major tech company (and many financial institutions) now have thei…

There's no mention of any NDA, you've just constructed it as a straw man.

Why are you reading and replying to the comments when you haven't read the article? You've come at this with a terrible take by inventing a non-existent NDA that would exonerate th…

It's noteworthy that Deliveroo is already doing the kind of vertical integration you describe, it's called "Deliveroo Editions"

The thinly veiled subtext is that the place they are required to pay it is nowhere.

This is a disgraceful verdict for the Irish people. We laid ourselves bare as a tax haven for MegaCorps, and now we're not even seeing the benefits.

Nope, they don't make any profit even when charging 30% fees. So this 10% cap will probably cause them to withdraw from the market.
