alt Hacker NewsYou literally don’t know who I am or the roles I had. So unless you can tell me how many steps you were from Kent Walker and what you worked on I’m gonna bet a hell of a lot I know more than you.
Edit to clarify my prior point: some of the technology makes it into the product, but the putative data protections do not.
Why?
Because there is always a work around, and ads legal will approve it every time.

The distance between Kent Walker and Thomas Kurian is what you should be asking.

I'm now curious. Who are you?
yeah and I'm a Navy seal with over 300 confirmed kills etc.
Given that Google has a single unit that does $76 billion in annual revenue, $100 billion projected, without ads, raises questions about how relevant your knowledge is.
and you don't know who I am. I might have been closer to that work than you would know.
Google is too internally split up to have a single cohesive "maximize ad revenue" mission, especially now that cloud is the new golden goose and the future of search/advertising is hazy.
If cloud can sell compute to enterprise that can only use FHE, then they will not give a fuck if the ad goons are disgruntled about it.
