Is the WSJ a wholly owned subsidiary of GOOG? It looks to me like a WSJ journalist said that.
If you read the paper, which is linked from the article and takes about five minutes, you'll find that article is cheap clickbait and has approximately nothing to do with the topic of the paper. As far as I can tell, none of the people in the lengthy slashdot thread bothered to do that. ObNANOG: it's about a text chat app that can be loaded with various text databases. The first couple of examples use a tech support database and the examples are impressively close to the kind of tech support one gets from offshore script readers. The example quoted in the WSJ used a database of movie subtitles, so it's not surprising that it reads like a bad movie script. R's, John
