Why didn’t they just google their questions before they asked

[milosquerra]

I think he’s so patient because he knows he’s the smartest person in the room

[RobertoBlake]

Unpopular opinion... stop electing people who can barely use a smartphone... to govern the rest of us... thanks...

[titantv]

That guy deserves to be a lifetime CEO at Google. Huge respect

[mihirthacker]

*Pichai is playing the toughest ever level of "you laugh, you lose"*

[RishabSinghRocky]

That Indian Guy has God level of patience.

"You make $100 million a year, you ought to be able to answer my question"
And you, sir, make $174k a year, you ought to be able to distinguish between Apple and Google

Congressman: What type of cookies google uses, chocolate or vanilla?
Pichai: 🤦🏻‍♂️

[GT]

Well that was a gigantic waste of that man's time.

“It’s not a trick question”

Well... it actually is a trick question if you only allow “yes or no.”

[Shalafi]

I hate how they keep to interrupt him like they are the smart people in the room.

Congressman : The data that is stored on Cloud, would it get destroyed when it starts raining ?
Mr. Pichai : Its not abou-
Congressman: just YES OR NO

[TreVox]

Not being a racist and all but... It seems like the only asian in congress is the only one that knows how the internet works lol.

[emanm]

Is nobody alarmed that these people are in positions of power?

[Fabrezz]

Mr. Lieu was the light shinning in the darkness.

[snoop]

Mr Lieu honestly gave me back my brain cells. He provided evidence to reinforce his prompt about possible censorship, listens to the CEO as he states that the operators of the search results are impartial and draws a reasonable conclusion from this simple exchange.

Rule 1 of basic communication: Do not americanise a question.

[CornballPath]

As a Filipino, the Indians have always earned my respect. Mr. Pichai’s patience is impeccable.

[tusharwabale]

If sundar pichai was a mathematician.
Cong- Does X + Y is 3?
Sudar - Not by default but if x is 2 an...
Cong- I asked you a very simple yes or no question. Does X + Y is 3?
Sundar- I can not say without knowing detailed information.
Cong - It's not a trick question. You know you make a 100 mill in a year. You have to able to answer this question. Does X + Y is 3?

Senator: What are your plans with China?
Google: There are no plans in China.
Senator: But what are your plans with China?
Google: There are no plans in China.
