For some reason, this made me think of the show #firefly where most spacecraft had kanji signs and manuals and even the common vernacular featured Chinese swearing. Is Hollywood our modern-day Oracle of Delfi? 🧐

Worth noting that they do log IP addresses because they were legally compelled to do so. And also they don't encrypt email subject lines, so they can be legally compelled to provide that info.

Why would they purposely want to lose talent, though? Sounds more like they had back-door deals with real estate moguls who would lose billions when companies stopped renting office space.
