Overall, are you aware that some things that seem perfectly normal and sensible today will inevitably become unpardonable moral sins in a generation, but there's no telling which things. What do you want in your permanent record, to be used by a government or employer that does not have your best interests in mind, 20 years from now?

So true. I know that /. is full of left wing types but the reality is that for decades the biggest abusers of these *has* been the left. SJWs embrace the following concepts:

Hounding people over their politics is acceptable

Violence is OK as long as you're right and "they" are wrong

No, they can't just all get along if they don't follow the correct politics

Seriously, it's amazing that the left hasn't pushed for re-education camps (yet). Despite this they have the gall to say that the real danger is from the right. Amazing.

The more you read and hear about these problems, the more you realize, employers simply should not care about these things. Whether an engineer, a train-dispatcher, or a secretary is a racist or a feminist is irrelevant — what matters is whether or not they do a good job.

And employers do not want to care either — it is an expensive minefield, gravely dangerous no matter what you do.

However, the Illiberals laws and practices force them into policing employee conduct. Our Illiberal overlords, themselves restrained from regulating speech, manage to compel employers into such policing with the overhanging threats of prosecutions for "hostile work environment.

That is, yeah, much as we hate it, it is legal for you to say what you want to say. We can neither fine nor imprison you for saying it, sadly. But we can force your employer to fire you instead, and that's almost as good.

Thus, arguing whether or not Google "has a right" to decide what to do, is completely bogus. Whatever the personal opinions of the company's executives, their hand is forced. Forced by the busybodies, who've shredded the First Amendment.

I predict that French schools will have a serious lack of empty toilets in the foreseeable future. And for a change, it's not because of the quality of the cafeteria lunch.

I think you may not be aware of how amazingly good the food is in French schools. Unlike in the US where we literally give prisoners better food than students which is just mind blowing.

A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.

According to some people you are:

I haven't ridden in one but I would vote for feeling safe in an autonomous vehicle today. Why? I trust the engineers to account for 99.99% of the driving I intend to do.

So if you drive 10000 miles a year, that means there will be one mile a year when your car has no idea what it's doing.

You may as well let your dog drive for that mile: http://cdn1.theodysseyonline.c...

I hope they have much better than four 9's of coverage before self-driving cars are let loose on the world.

You call BS without even checking.

Read up.

And there are plenty more where that came from. You think this is BS because you are ignorant of the facts.
