Hacker News Reader

I have been following Elie and his team's work for a while now, and enjoyed this read, but I am curious as to why it was posted on his personal website as opposed to Google's Research Blog (https://research.googleblog.com). He is one of four authors and this was clearly not a personal effort of his. Not to mention, it would reach a larger audience if shared by Google directly.

Hey :)

We did have an official post today: https://www.blog.google/topics/google-europe/updating-our-ri... that is focused on the improved transparency report rather than the research paper and I am sure it will reach a larger audience. You will recognize the infographic that I borrowed from it :)

When we make a paper public I have the habit to share a short summary (sometime with a delay thus) of what the paper is about on my personal blog. Kurt, Luca and Yuan helped with the summary on a personal capacity which is why they are co-author of the blog post.

Bottom line this is not the official post, we do have one, it is just a summary a few authors of the paper wrote in personal capacity to share some of the finding we found the most interesting.

I didn't see the Google Blog post - thank you for pointing me in the right direction! And great work.
