@binarybits @DKThomp @davidshor @Noahpinion @Oneoneder @kar_nels @brtrnkng Alphabet has a history of killing off Other Bets that don't have a pathway to profitability.

The hearing's wrapped. Overall the questions ranged from almost insightful to downright counterproductive, which by congressional standards is par for the course. The witnesses hewed to their talking points and only some of the senators wasted time scoring political points. — PolitiTweet.org
