I don't understand the question, google cannot attempt to solve this without assigning someone to spend their time on it.
If they do so, I would rather they put that money into actually helping the homeless.
- lxgr 4y agoI think you vastly overestimate the fungibility of engineering resources in large corporations. Also, which one do you think the involved stakeholders at Google would have an easier time getting signed-off: Decreasing reliance on stable phone numbers as an authentication factor, or firing a couple of people and donating their salaries to an organization helping the homeless? Sometimes, depending on the probability of success, the pragmatic choice is also the ethical one.
- P5fRxh5kUvp2th 4y agooh stop it, tech people always think the world works in binary. Apparently this multi-billion dollar company can't see fit to help humanity because it's literally hard (or impossible?). That somehow I, as an individual, have more of an effect because charities only ever accept money from individuals and not billion dollar corporations? seriously, just stop.
