Remote work seems like a bigger liability for a company which is expecting future legal battles and anti-trust cases, especially since all communications will be entered into discovery. It's easier for VPs to discuss AI ethics in hallways and unrecorded meetings rooms.
- MrOwen 3y agoEh, unless there's current ligation forcing record retention, just having a really short retention period is an easy enough solution.
- cyrux004 3y agoDidnt Sundar ask disappearing messages to be turned on on an internal communcation tool ?
- MrOwen 3y agoI believe so but from what I recall, he still wanted syncing between phone/computer which required the messages be stored at some point, alebeit with an extremely small ttl (minutes? seconds?). This miniscule retention meant the record was created despite a low ttl and so when the record was removed, it became a violation of the court-ordered record retention. Again, this is all just from fuzzy memory but I think that's how it approximately went down.

- fragmede 3y agohttps://www.jwz.org/gruntle/rbarip.html https://www.jwz.org/gruntle/rbarip.html HN turned off referrer globally, so that no longer happens.
- kirubakaran 3y agoHN uses rel="noreferrer" on all links so perhaps this is no longer an issue? Let's see: https://www.jwz.org/gruntle/rbarip.html https://www.jwz.org/gruntle/rbarip.html
- fshbbdssbbgdd 3y agoI’m pretty sure everywhere I’ve ever worked has notified me that there is a legal hold on deleting my communications. And I’m just a simple programmer.
- madeofpalk 3y agoPresumably doing illegal things is the bigger liability for legal issues?
- WWLink 3y agoYea, ya know... if your reason for avoiding remote work is because you're afraid a paper trail will expose your company breaking the law.... your company.... has some big problems lol.
