You fell for the “Google knows everything” mantra…
It does, though :) googling "people who, in the face of giants, pick up the stone" returns a bunch of results on David and Goliath.
Oh, I thought it was a search for a new product, the Google Stone. Now that is a product I would buy.
Google Stone: No privacy worries. No recordings. Nothing evil. Just a rock made by Google.

I think it was a reference to David and Goliath.
It is a reference to the stone used to slay Goliath.

PS. cant even ask a genuine question without being downvoted into oblivion; HN became just another reddit :(

No worries :)
