Tell HN: Google Color Picker showing wildly wrong results
It seems to just be putting in a random color when you search for a hex code https://www.google.com/search?q=%23ff0000
It was only a few weeks ago they unbroke Google Timers.
They must still not have integration tests for these search extension features.
Googlers ostensibly can't get promo for fixing this class of problem, due to not "wide enough impact across Google Orgs". There's no money for G in useful micro tools. Meanwhile, it's broken for the living, breathing human being end users. Just goes to show how messed up the incentive structure is within Google.
If things continue as they have been, G is on track to repeat the mistakes and fate of IBM.
