  Yep, with Google it’s 10% good and 90% evil profits.

      If it were Yelp putting out these maps, that would be their business model.

    Let’s not delude ourselves. Google is totally getting something out of this. Not sure if they just want some good press for a change or if it’s something else though.

      Was prob just built by a guy or small team that was given the freedom to build something in a month or two. Don’t worry, though, they’ll be laid off soon.

      The article says something about this tech being used to find any leaks that happen so that they can be patched and or used for methane collection. The collected methane can then be sold. Google would probably make money from selling this service to these fossil fuels companies.

    That’s 10% better than most though

      The 10% is purely by chance
