Ask HN: How did Alphabet crush earnings while so many others are cutting costs?

Alphabet released their quarterly earnings report today and it came in much higher than expected. This got me thinking: - How did analysts miss things so badly? - How do you cut through the fearmongering? - Why do you think people are valuing Alphabet more like a stock with low growth potential?
