I'll agree with some of the brightest minds, but some Googlers I worked with were mediocre at best.

Also, I don't really understand what your catchy phrase means. Google's management is being malicious by not forcing their employees to not be lazy?

I guess if I were in school today, I would be accused of using AI on my homework, as I did very well on all of my projects and bombed my tests. My professors all recognized my hard work and gave me good grades, but I feel like that wouldn't go the same way today.

This is incompetence, not malice. YT devs would skip testing on Chrome if they could get away with it, but are forced to.

No, it really doesn't. You're reacting super defensively throughout this entire thread. It's a really bad look.

It's on Amazon to consider the second-order effects of their actions. They may in some cases be killing the golden goose.

Google. The Class B stock setup means Class A shareholders are shouting into a void.

It felt very low effort and did not contribute anything to the comment thread.

Are the MitM proxies the braindead ones that are hampering the evolution of SSL? Because those are terrible, no corporate shilling required.

No kidding. But how hard is it to effect leadership change, especially in an organization where you have next to no leverage? Really hard.

One of those sounds a lot easier than the other. The magic 8 ball toy company would also probably be pretty incentivized to not die in a nuclear holocaust.

Or, they'll just create more technically sophisticated workarounds to get what they want while avoiding a bad precedent that might cost them more money in the long run. Millions for defense, not one cent for tribute.

No they won't pay for it, unless they believe it's in their best interests. If they believe they can free-ride and get good data without having to pay for it, why would they lay down a dollar?

That and MS Office are pretty darn popular. Not the whole world, but a very decent percentage of your users.

"don't cooperate"? "Yes sir, let me call the people downstairs who can help you." is not stalling.

If they're so impatient, are they going to somehow hack the badge-controlled elevators to make them go where they want?

Not really? If the people want to get through the locked doors throughout the office, they'll need someone to let them through the doors. At least where I work, the receptionists don't have that access. They need to call people who do have universal door access to let them in. Unless the cops just want to battering-ram their way through all the doors for the fun of it...

Also, a raid without a warrant is not a raid. It's a friendly visit to someone's office.

What a strange assumption. The training is "summon the lawyers immediately", "ensure they're accompanied at all times while on company premises", etc.
