  I wonder how much Google spends on bribes?

    Less than a month to make a massive software overhaul was an insane order.

    It cannot be safely done without actual lead time.

      Just another example of how judicial systems are run by ignorant dinosaurs who don’t understand how anything works (e.g. series of tubes). You’d expect a judge presiding over this type of case to make a ruling after seeking advice from domain experts; on what was in the realm of possibility.

      If Google were motivated to do this voluntarily, I’d expect it to be a 6-12 month project, at the very least.

    Why bribe when you can threaten with leaking your search history haha.

    They are not exactly bribes. Rather undisclosed preferential consulting jobs or hiring promises. It’s quite easy to follow money in bribes. It’s somehow so: after they finish politics careers, they get hired as highly paid consultants for their preferential treatment when they were politics

    The trouble with being a conspiracy theorist is you don’t know when to stop. Not everything that happens is part of some grand conspiracy.

    Calm down.

    Remember when they just gave basically a blank check to make this go away?

  A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer knows the judge.
