    Google’s trajectory unfortunately starts to feel similar to when yahoo lost everything in the early dotcom bubble except it owned a huge chunk of Alibaba. Google’s internal decision to stop publishing useful research probably started the slow but sure process of internal decline. I still hope they can recover, given their amazing position in terms of data and infrastructure, but it no longer feels like an obvious or easy task, when only 6 or 7 years ago they felt untouchable.
