Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community

Google responded to Ed, Ed responds.

I've suggested the orange site changes the title to "In response to Google?" to keep up with latest practices around there. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40164393

In response? To Google?? ED ZITRON???

I love Ed, and he's going to bring the receipts and make Google look like idiots. The downside is that Ed's going to play it straight.

What do I want to see? I want to see Google get in public fight with Robert Evans. That would be hilarous.

if we get a BtB on Raghavan, that may well happen. Unfortunately I doubt he meets the bar to be a real bastard by their standards.

If this chapter of tech drama were a video game, specifically a visual novel, and more specifically phoenix wright, this would be the part of the last trial where Google has smugly deigned to testify in person, confident they can easily deflect whatever comes at them during cross examination
