If a client hasn't learned by now, they're not gonna learn from this either. For niche apis Google has no trust left to burn, because all trust in its products is either already burnt or inflammable.
Nit: "inflammable" means "can be set of fire". So does "flammable". Yes, I know. You want "not flammable", or if you want to be cute you could try "unflammable".
Looks like the post means 'either already burnt or will be burnt easily'? So what exactly is your nitpick here?

I think inflammable (or flammable) applies. I think the user is saying the trust is likely to go up in flames.
If it is free, and no ads, it is probably not going to stick long
Correction: If it is not resulting in you transferring more data from yourself or others to Google to profit off of, it is not going to stick around long. Google doesn't seem interested in running paid businesses besides advertising no matter how much you are paying them.

Interestingly, I read this the other way: "...all trust is burnt, or about to be burnt."
Thanks. Looks like google flights can do most of it but with gui elements. The one thing it doesn't do which I really like is to be able to specify a layover of 1-2 days, ita does it which is great. (OK I guess I can do it with multi city, but it isn't like the old days where layovers were sometimes a feature not something to be avoided)
To quote myself from a year ago (although Delta and Alaska aren't partners anymore) [3]: One of the features I like to use a lot is the ability to specify fare classes. As an example, say I want to fly to Tokyo, and I am an Alaska Airlines mileage plan member. Alaska Airlines does not fly to Tokyo, but it has deals with airlines that do. However, sometimes the fare classes are quite complicated. For instance, "Econom…
I also use routing code to force long layover (e.g. go from Europe to SF via London, and spend the night in London to visit friends, on the same ticket).
Google shuts down a project. I don't think this really stops the press anymore. I'm not familiar with this one, but building your infrastructure on small Google APIs is starting to seem foolish.
One day Google will shutdown Gmail. Finally then everyone will learn to ignore their non-Advertising services. It's for the best!
This has crossed my mind. I’m a G Suite customer (paid Google docs / gmail etc) and Google makes me nervous the way they shut things down constantly.
From [1]: "On April 8, 2011, the US Department of Justice approved the buyout (of ITA by Google). As part of the agreement, Google must license ITA software to other websites for five years." Now that five years are up, Google would want to deny competitors access to that data. Seems like a good startup opportunity. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITA_Software
seems a little bit more than 5 years...
I wonder if this was five years from the deal closing? Usually the deal doesn't close until after regulators have agreed to not to file a lawsuit (which is what happened on the April 8th 2011 date).
