Google should fight back at last years promisses. Where is the feature of calling people automatically on google assistant? Last year they promised they would call my hair saloon for me, and it's all BS. Like everything they say every year, it never works in real life. But I see lots of "journalists" praising it, while criticizing Siri as useless. Where is their self driving car too? Never complete, they always promi…

It simply doesn't work, at all. Prove that it does work. Because it just doesn't exist at all. You pointed to an Android fanboy's site. It's not the reality: https://mashable.com/article/google-io-2018-report-card-dupl... This is to put it lightly....
I like the Google products and services that I use. There are some that I miss (Reader) and some that just confuse me (Bookmarks), but the core works for me.
Based on commentary I've seen, I may be the only person on Hacker News to think so. Regardless, I'm hopeful for the future.
Google is doing everything in its power to buy/take/borrow that commodity from people (just like FB. Amazon, MS, etc...) They can say things like "We are moving from a company that helps you find answers to a company that helps you get things done…We want our products to work harder for you in the context of your job, your home, and your life, and they all share a single goal: to be helpful, so we can be there for you in moments big and small over the course of your day. "
But I don't buy it.

Vision is imprecise.

>> Where is their self driving car too? Waymo is not a car company. They don't have the capability to make an actual car even if the autonomy stuff worked well enough to be used nationwide. Which it does not and will not in the foreseeable future.
They promised that we all be driving in self driving cars in 2017. And they announced they partnered with FIAT Chrysler automotive. Google simply doesn't have it. Google sells this BS to journalists, and they sell it to Wall Street. That's only why Google is worth $817B.
Assistant calling and Duplex appointment booking were both available within the year, across most of the United States, but you claim neither work.

Edit: A quick browse through OP's comment history suggests that s/he might not be US-based. Should that be the case, then it's not that Duplex is flawed, it's that it's simply not available where they live.

> Where is the feature of calling people automatically on google assistant? already available in 44 states, they’re bringing it to the web. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2019/05/07/goo... > Where is their self driving car too? Never complete, they always promise "it's the next year". there’s zero rush when there’s a chance of killing people. also this: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.theverge.com/p…
It simply doesn't work in any real life situation. Yes, the problem of self driving cars is they can kill people, that's the whole problem, thing is that google is always promising that "they are here for all", "it's the next year", etc. it's all BS. You don't have a google self driving car, and you didn't book your hairdresser via duplex, and you won't be booking your car or anything through any of this. Those are t…
can you provide any basis for your "facts"
Siri being subpar when compared to Google Assistant is well established.
Google owns my soul. Their boxes know when I sleep, when I wake, how much I exercise, what I listen to, my innermost thoughts, my chats with loved ones, what I watched on Netflix last night, what my company does, the flu I have at the moment, what the hypochondriac in me looks up in the middle of the night, what I buy, whom I call, what I spend money on, where I spend it... I nominally pay for these services, but I s…
But anyone who thinks he's wrong - Remember into whose hands Java fell.
I mean, if I buy into the notion of Google's benevolence, I should buy into that notion for other corporations, shouldn't I?
