Gosh! It is a pity Google doesn't hire any smart people who know how to build a throttling system.

Still, they're a tiny and cash-starved company so we can't expect too much of them.

Must not be any questions about that in Leetcode.

Its almost like as if once a company becomes this big, burning them to the ground would be better for society or something. That would be the liberal position on monopolies if they actually believed in anything.

It is a business, not a charity. Adjust your expectations accordingly, or expect disappointment.
