Engaging with their future talent pool? When communities like HN and other tech hubs start thinking adversarially about your company, it has major consequences. People in the talent pool aren't stupid - they're trading off their time for a salary, but also trading the opportunity cost.

Given a choice between Google and say... Stripe - where would you work?

You'd be surprised where 99% of HN would work regardless of their comment history. Google has no shortage of smart people coming in. And not that HN is some elite bunch of "10x rockstars". Most efficient workers probably don't have time for the nonsense here.

As long as Google keeps the salaries up there won't be a lack of people wanting to work there.
