> Where is the quote from?

Coincidentally, Google isn't just in the business of releasing mosquitoes, but has other useful functions.

I copied a sentence from the quote and did a search for it. The only result with the sentence was this HN post.

Thanks for the snark, though.

Apologies for snark.

I searched - on the entire quoted string - two hours after you. It's weird, but not entirely infeasible, that google had indexed HN before verily, but if that URL is to be believed that blog was posted ~1 day earlier.

The google bubble may be downgrading the value of certain results for you, but shouldn't be actively hiding them. If you're still not seeing the result by whole or sub-string, perhaps try an incognito (or similar) browser, just in case your search engine, browser, or an extension is protecting you from something.

Searching for the same sentence now places the Verily article at #1, the Verge at #2, and HN at #3.

I thought the snark was funny and good.
