I recommend reading Zuboff to get an alternate perspective on what we do around here. I also believe understanding her PoV can help you understand why Europe behaves the way they do.
I do think she is on to something with her concept of behavioral surplus. Google has succeeded in extracting knowledge from events in a way that while it does benefit people (free ad supported things!) also has downsides.
Also looking forward to her upcoming book, if it's like her others it will likely be prescient. (See _In the Age of the Smart Machine_ and _Support Economy_)

In May 2017 Java classes will change to reflect the new Alphabet ownership structure, which will ensure that they appear at the top of the imports list (where they belong)
You should name your java classes with the following prefix:
com.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.google
instead of
com.google
A LSC and an increase in the max java line length will be done automatically. External libraries that are lexicographically less than abc..xyz will be eliminated (com.aardvark, etc.)
</snark>
But seriously I agree with the import ordering change. It does simplify things at the expense of some piper history pollution.

*GopherLeaks* - Gopher @30 and Email Retention...
I'm working with a journalist writing a long-form Gopher article. I have every. single. email. from the 90s. It was incredible and allowed me to get some facts straight, relive some past glories and groan at some bonehead moments.
So I'm sad that Googlers will never get to have the same experience 30 years from now. With our 18 month retention policy and corporate ownership you'd better start keeping a [paper] diary..

Would anyone be up for an Google Internal xprize for carbon reduction by gcu reduction? I'd put some dollars to that if the results were, say 2x the gain of buying LED bulbs or cow methane.

Finally got around to buying more carbon offsets after many years and was happy to see Google offers access to their program:
https://sites.google.com/a/google.com/googlercarbonoffsets/home
However I'm likely switching to Terrapass in the future since they also can offset your water usage, and oddly enough their offsets cost half of what we price internally. Also auto-pay, so I won't slack off like I did before.
Oh and fwiw I've went from 12 tons to 5 tons estimated yearly usage.
