Well, on both of those points: (1) Net Zero is to be expected, not applauded. You mess up the planet as a side effect of becoming obscenely rich, then you put it right, sorry no star. If anything, we should be pushing for them to go well beyond Net Zero. (2) I think that's a fair question and a fair point. It might make for an interesting Hackathon though! What could Google do to alleviate the effects of war, or encourage peace? Who knows. But spending your time working out how to help people buy cool sunglasses isn't going to make much headway there.

I know this sounds dismissive and cynical, but I mean it genuinely: a Google hackathon focused on the problem of war would do as much to solve that problem as releasing a new feature to make it easier to impulse buy sunglasses.
