    That's why we have lawyers and lawsuits. When there's a software failure you just don't lose your document, someone dies.

    And until you've proven that self driving cars will work under all conditions you shouldn't assume that they will.

    He needn't worry. The private sector, in this instance is right in bed with the government.

  8. Use the money to fix another state that's not a lost cause. Tell them you'll throw in Puerto Rico as well. They're pretty stupid.

    I think we can safely assume that if you're CEO of Google you're a weasel. He didn't get the job because he sold the most Girl Scout cookies.

  12. What you have to do on 'Something Is Wrong On the Internet' (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're going to let your children watch youtube unattended, you'll have to first sit them down and give them a talk about the dangers of lighting your own farts. Maybe make them watch a video of someone pooping their pants while trying. It's for their own good.

    Years ago I was working in a gas station in a relatively affluent part of Vancouver. One day I said to my boss that pumping gas into Mercedes and Porsches and Ferraris making minimum wage made me feel like a piece of shit. His words to me were "You're not even a piece of shit. You're just a little piece of a big piece of shit." Never liked that guy.

    Old George H.W. did pretty well for himself for a fellow who according to you was on the periphery. The last couple years of Reagan's 2nd term his biggest problem was staying awake.

    Lot of similarities to the Reagan administration. Wasn't Reagan shot just a few months after becoming president? Things were pretty well run by Bush after that.

    I'm all for freedom and therefore a company can fire whoever it wants. And consequently people can decide if they want to work for a company that may fire you for being politically incorrect. Which is as I understand it he has been fired for. Excessive honesty.

  24. Re:Weasel words on Newspaper Obtains James Damore's Complaint Against Google (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    The phrase "doesn't mean anything goes" is open to interpretation. Therefore firing someone for going too far is arbitrary. Meaning "subject to individual will or judgment without restriction; contingent solely upon one's discretion." That's not the way it should be done.
