    ... The connection of current demand to past prices is known as “path dependence” and is perhaps the greatest source of confusion in understanding the price movements of monetary goods." Great quote, fantastic article. Helps think about price discovery and trade patterns.

    The desire to store value and to safely and securely transport it through time and space is universal... because the future is uncertain and forever will be so. So until we invent a crystal ball, we need .

    Read 's internal Google comments on the censorship before the company pulled out of China in 2010. "[I] was utterly dismayed to witness the crippling of our product...Chinese Govt didn't want us to include non-Chinese sources. We complied."

    Former Google engineer: "The thing I find disturbing, after all these years, is the willingness of my former colleagues to not only comply with the censorship but their enthusiasm in rationalizing it."

    1/ Google is working on a new search engine code-named "Dragonfly" that will aid China's effort to censor information from its citizenry. As a former Google engineer I wanted to share some information on what it's like to be inside Google as these decisions are made

    Thread by ex-Google engineer describing the company's role in China censorship 2006-10: "entire news sections were to be censored...Google needed to comply w/ requests within 15 minutes...likely that the same censorship requirements will apply to the Dragonfly project..."

    You can go read the whole thread, but the arguments from this Google email (and from an engineer who refused to help censor Google News) mirror those discussed many times before and since. The idea that increased prosperity will inevitably lead to more freedom is optimistic.

    3/ The emails I'm presenting came from a mailing list at Google where employees discussed topics on politics and economics. I have formatted the emails for readability and redacted the names of my colleagues, with whom I was debating. The topic was the 2008 Olympics in China.

    13/ I encourage employees of Google who have been asked to work on censored products to stand up against these requests, as I did in 2006, and make it known that Google's willingness to censor is immoral.

    12/ Unfortunately, Brin's influence in Google's decision making seems to have waned and the new management seems not only willing to be complicit in censorship, but to lie about what it's doing:

    Pichai’s letter contradicts the company’s search engine chief Ben Gomes, who informed staff during a private meeting that the company was aiming to launch the platform in China between January and April 2019.

    11/ As I previously tweeted, Sergey Brin is a notable exception to this temptation, and he is reported to be the reason that Google left China in 2010:

    Andrew McLaughlin, Google’s former director of public policy, said that Brin’s “background as a refugee made him inherently more suspicious of doing business in an environment like that.”

    10/ The desire to comply becomes even more urgent for executives of large profit-seeking corporations because it gives them access to massive and lucrative markets. Without a strong moral compass, the temptation is far too strong for most of them.

    9/ For many people there is little difference between what is legal and what is moral. This mindset is especially dangerous when it is held by people in power, such as Google's executives. The mindset is: if it's a legal requirement to censor, then we should do it.

    8/ My colleagues, although they may have been well intentioned, were just regurgitating the reasons Google's management had given for its first foray into China. The real problem, then as now, is that management seems to have no moral compass.

    7/ As Blaise Pascal trenchantly observed in Pensées, *power creates opinion*. This is just as true within corporations as it is for national politics. There are benefits to toeing the line, plus obvious disadvantages to dissenting (e.g., risk of being fired).

    6/ The other thing I find disturbing, after all these years, is the willingness of my former colleagues to not only comply with the censorship but their enthusiasm in rationalizing it. It is not a coincidence that the rationale they give was the same one management had given them

    5/ It is very likely that the same censorship requirements will apply to the Dragonfly project that Google is currently working on and perhaps the requirements have become even more stringent given Google's new willingness to comply with the Chinese state.

    4/ The striking fact that I had forgotten about until I rediscovered these emails was that China required Google to censor information both broadly (entire news sections were to be censored) and extremely expeditiously (Google needed to comply with requests within 15 minutes)

    2/ I previously shared that in 2006 I was an engineer who worked on Google News and was asked to write code to censor new results in China. I've found some emails from 2006 that shed more light on the censorship requirements of the Chinese state.

    When I worked at Google, as an engineer on Google News, I was asked to write code to censor news articles in China (circa 2006). I refused and they took me off the project and put someone else on it. Doesn't surprise me Google is back at it. "Don't be Evil" is a Google myth.

    Often the person being engaged with cannot change their mind. The goal is to reach those whose minds have not ossified and are willing to reexamine their view of the world. They still exist.

    Twitter is such a constraining medium that anyone who starts an important conversation on it that they could have started by email or in person cares more about the conversation being seen than actually convincing the other person.
