Is Google's head of payment systems really called "Bill Ready"?
Nintendo's CEO's last name is Bowser. Our AG is named "Barr" (Pun on a Bar association) Is there a cool collection of these somewhere? These are the only evidence I feel that we're in a simulation and the engineer is fucking with us.

You really think Google -- who has floundered in this space for years -- is going to dominate a market that is already dominated by a company (Amazon) with a 50% larger market cap? Walmart and Target have been trying to chip away at Amazon's lead, and they're only getting buried deeper in the dust. Google doesn't exactly have a reputation for entering new markets and dominating them, either...

Slashdot.org was plagued by people posting "first post" to every story, so they implemented an automatic "first post" comment to each article, that was removed as soon as other comments appeared. Maybe this comment ("Google will shut this down like so many other products") should be similarly posted automatically to Hacker News on every Google story?
It's ironic how my least favorite genre of posts are posts that complain about other posts.

"companies don't try new things" - HN "Google kills products" - HN 99% of the people here would gladly work at Google. But what's the next best thing .. downplay the company you couldn't get into :) Carry on !
I was trying to get into Google 3 times in my life. Results so far: - some (all? one?) interview failure (no feedback), rejection - interviews passed, no degree in CS (which was known to them prior of the interviews), rejection - interviews passed, this time missing CS degree is not a problem, no cultural fit, rejection I think I am done. You are assumption is without merit though.
I wonder how 100K of engineers made it in
