Google is about to go cold turkey on Silicon Valley's favourite financial drug. Issuing mountains of stock to employees  and then turning a blind eye to the impact on profits  has been a not-so-secret dirty habit of the US tech industry for years. But the times are changing. In a little-noticed announcement, the internet company's parent, Alphabet, let slip on its last earnings call that it is about to alter its treatment of stock-based compensation  a $6.7bn cost last year. From this quarter, it will stop presenting a view of its earnings that ignores stock costs.
