Hundred flowers
Thanks, Google, for proving the engineer's point.
Two things about this predictable mess haven't been said yet, as far as I can tell:
(1) Hundred flowers. The engineer expressed his FACTS on an internal channel that was supposedly meant to carry a variety of views. Now Google has verified that the purpose of such channels is to monitor and exterminate dissidents.
(2) Facts vs lies. Absolutely everything the engineer said is PROVABLE TRUTH. Engineers have to deal with truth, otherwise buildings won't stand and code won't compile. Google's response verifies openly and explicitly that truth is absolutely illegal. Only perfect lies are allowed.
Neither observation is surprising, but it's nice to have them OFFICIALLY AND EXPLICITLY VERIFIED.
This is why so many "terrorists" have an engineering background.
