      This is still going to be done. It just won't be done by Google and it'll cost 20x the original estimate.https://twitter.com/histoftech/status/1005020056324067328 …

      Project Maven wasn't "just giving the Pentagon access to open-source software — [we] were going to build a massive surveillance system that gave military analysts real-time information on people, vehicles, and buildings in a Google Earth–style interface."

      I get this sentiment, I really do. It also presupposes that thers isn't an entire parallel tech industry out there full of people who can't wait to do this work and take this money.https://twitter.com/histoftech/status/1005020713886109696?s=19 …

      "One response we heard a lot was 'If we don’t build it,someone else will.' But when tech workers stand up at one company & refuse to build something, it empowers workers at other companies to stand up & do the same. When we show our power, it helps other workers show their power"

      There's an entire world full of engineers and programmers who you'll never see at your JavaScript meetings and never engage with the web-space tech industry and are experts in taking defense dollars.

          I worked for a defense contractor as recently as 2 years ago. One of the proposals we sent out was to develop a Java Applet. AN APPLET.

          When I challenged this, I got "well how else will you run dynamic code in the browser?" 😐

          The point of this is that the only option is to never approach this space. Once the Pentagon knows they want something, they go for it. There is an entire industry of weapons developers and they're not going to unionize or organize out of a sense of ethics.

          To be clear, I'm not arguing or contradicting @histoftech, who is lovely and brilliant. I just think that, as a former gov't contractor who has crossed over, there's a lot of dialog on this topic worth having.
