Apparently Google has plenty of time to censor conservatives and spy on people, but not enough to fix a bug that would allow people to spoof a Gmail address.

It's because you can use whatever retard is available to censor conservatives but to fix things you need engineers.

Specifically the ones Google either fired or scared away.

Half the work is done by the square root of the number of people doing the work.

How many of that square root do you think were among the purged and fled?

What do you think the current split is between engineers desperately trying to keep the money printers working and people pushing wheelbarrows of cash to the incinerators? 5:95?

5:95?

If they're lucky. I think Google's mostly running on momentum at this point.

It takes a while for the Chinese to develop a work around. You wouldn't want to fix the vulnerability without them being able to get around it, would you?

this is what happens when you hire people based on the colour of their skin. We are doomed to forever suffer shit software due to the diversity hires.
