  Exceeding the rate limit with a text file? Good job.

  Thanks! Out of curiousity: Were you expecting this to go offline? Somehow there's always at least one HN member caching a good article :)

    Haha, actually I just happened to have it open in a separate tab when I read people saying it 404'd, though I do have a habit of saving loads of random things to my ~/Public/ NFS share when browsing HN and reddit.

He's posted saying that it was meant to be available internally only, but didn't set his permissions correctly: https://plus.google.com/110981030061712822816/posts/bwJ7kAELRnf https://plus.google.com/110981030061712822816/posts/bwJ7kAEL...

  It's a pity that he chose to withdraw it, it would be great if high profile people like Steve could say stuff like this and stand by it without having to fear for fall-out. After all, the big winners from a piece like this are Google and Amazon, Amazon obviously have some big problems (see Nirvana's post above) and the sooner it gets to the attention of their top level execs the better. Stuff like this can rot your company from the inside out, and being transparent about it (and even public) can help a lot.

    Wow. I know so little about the internal workings of Google and had such a good impression of them until today. The Wave post and now this -- not the post which was constructive and insightful, no company is perfect and it's important to examine flaws -- but for the decision to pull the post. Shameful. Steve is only wrong with one point: Google's reputation for arrogance seems actually well-deserved.

      Well, the google PR people actually didn't do anything to tell him to withdraw the post, so that is his own decision.
      - david927 15y ago
        This is one of the very few times I've seen Steve back-off of a provocative statement; whatever made that happen does not bode well for Google and I think my point stands.

        It may have been a case of not wanting to embarrass his former employer, Amazon.
