Dear Google, you make me feel really uncomfortable when you share a video with the world wherein you describe a project which you will make for "the country".



Do you really mean "uncomfortable"? I don't get it. Annoyed maybe? (like when new products don't come to Apps users)

OTOH, just because you have a generally accessible url, the video at that url must be addressed to the world?


No, i'm not annoyed. I understand why they can't offer it globally right from the start.

It's the wording itself that makes me feel uncomfortable in a way that is hard to articulate.


"The country", as if there aren't other countries. "For the country", as if it were a competition and this helps put our country ahead of all the others. As if it weren't for the customers, but for the institution of the nation.


Where does it say "the country" ?


Look for the youtube video. They say it at the end.

It hasn't reached most of the US either... Give it some time!


In most of Europe, the website just returns 404. This is like... the worst link ever.

I’d prefer if a mod would replace the URL with a link to either the About page or the video. Or to an archive.org cache of the site.

Linking to a site that 404's for almost everyone is inacceptable.


404 in Jamaica too - sloppy


in Asia 404 as well


It only works for three cities in the US as well.
