The man who wrote "Don't be evil" said he chose it specifically so it would be hard to remove. Paul Buchheit, the engineer who later built Gmail, suggested the phrase at a Google corporate values meeting on July 19, 2001.

Then in early 2018, internal documents leaked showing that Google had signed a Pentagon contract to build AI to analyze drone footage. By April, over 3,000 Google employees had signed a letter to Sundar Pichai demanding the contract be cancelled.

The letter specifically cited "Don't be evil" as the standard the company was failing to meet. Dozens of engineers resigned in protest.

Sometime between late April and early May, the slogan disappeared from the code of conduct's preface.

Sazerac

45ml rye whisky
15ml cognac
5 dashes creole bitters
1 dash angostura bitters
10ml rich simple (2:1)
2 drops saline solution (2:8 salt:water by weight)
Absinthe

Prepare glass with generous spray of absinthe
Stir ingredients with ice
Strain into glass
Express lemon peel and garnish
Extra spray of absinthe for good luck

Picked up a new rye that I wanted to try, so a sazerac felt reasonable. Might halve the simple next time.

Over 75% of the world’s food crops need pollinators.

Yet, bee populations have dropped globally over recent decades due to:

🔸 habitat loss
🔸 climate change
🔸 excessive use of pesticides

Our fertiliser plan promotes healthier ecosystems, which are essential for bees’ survival.

On this #WorldBeeDay, we urge governments, organisations and citizens to help save these precious creatures.

We need to keep our bees busy and well!
