An interesting section in the GOOG release that I'm digging…

>R&D expenses consist primarily of:

>•Compensation expenses (including SBC) and facilities-related costs for engineering and technical employees responsible for R&D of our existing and new products and services;

>•Depreciation expenses;

>•Equipment-related expenses; and

>•Professional services fees primarily related to consulting and outsourcing services.

>R&D expenses increased $990 million from the three months ended March 31, 2018 to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation expenses (including SBC) and facilities-related costs of $725 million, largely resulting from a 28% increase in headcount primarily supporting Google Cloud and Search.

new R&D facilities costs of 725 mil of a billion spent?

spent on supporting cloud and search?
