      Good to see how Google employees managed to keep the company out of becoming a defense contractor. Not surprising that most employees didn't exactly appreciate that type of work.

      Also note worthy is the below paragraph about Schmidt working with defense:

      Mr. Schmidt is pressing forward with a Silicon Valley worldview where advances in software and A.I. are the keys to figuring out almost any issue. While that philosophy has led to social networks that spread disinformation and other unintended consequences, Mr. Schmidt said he was convinced that applying new and relatively untested technology to complex situations — including deadly ones — would make service members more efficient and bolster the United States in its competition with China.
