We are Google employees – Google must drop Dragonfly

I think you maybe are now ignoring the number of H1B / Visa / or otherwise applicants happy to take a lucrative job that don't give 1/2 a damn about any of that.

My post about SCALE was apparently too hard to understand. There is a big sea of programmers that would be happy to work for Google censorship or not.

If you want to argue the cost of replacing people - I'd argue the cost of paying people who won't do the job you want them to do.

Allegedly the secret to Google's success is hiring (and more importantly, retaining) the best of the best. Presumably Dragonfly work can be done by any H1B, but all the people who no longer want to work at Google would impact plenty of other projects.

There's a difference between your coder who can build you a chat app and a coder who can keep you on the bleeding edge of innovation. In theory.
