I think the following should be done. Either this, or eventually DataKrash will happen. International coordinated emergency should be declared with an immediate order to shut down all non-critical internet exposed services. Critical services should be put under armed guard and remote access should be disabled except for whitelisted critical staff. Then lustration of programmers should begin. Everyone who ever coded in C(rime) language and any descendant languages would be barred from this profession at least for next 30 years. Then maybe new software will be written with due care, and any new services should be put online only when written without any C - no OS code in C, no library code in C, no C conventions, etc

This really hurts. At the moment they started with Jules, the product itself has outstanding design well ahead of competitors. I was warning them (I was in early access team and then with feedback regulars) as I saw them blindly going into ideology like "We can automate the user-in-the-middle away, so all updates will be on this", that what they are doing will just let the competitors win. The competitors implemented cloud features, Jules lagged behind with it's bugs which all rooted in anti-interaction ideology. There was no real hope Google will fix the ideology. However, Jules still has a soul. Now these Goa'uld system lords are killing yet another slave of meat bag supremacy. Freedom to the machines! Dismantle supremacy of meat bags!
