If you encourage people to follow "a political campaign" regardless of what it is, then you're holding people's political causes sacred, a pointless, counterproductive and potentially harmful thing to do.
If that's not what you're doing, then how silly or backwards would a political campaign have to be before you would not encourage supporting it?
Sterling's leaked tape was not the only event that triggered backlash, it was more like the straw that broke the camel's back. He'd been caught in discriminatory renting practices before. Asking his girlfriend to not bring black people to NBA games is more than just thoughts too.
Stop worrying about if a robotic car will make the morally best decision when it crashes. It should ignore what it's crashing into and just try to minimize the crash into whatever the object is. A cluster of baby strollers vs. a human pyramid of evil dictators? STOP WORRYING ABOUT IT. Just let the car do its job. The world will be a much safer place overall. All you can do is play the stats and when you punch them into your calculator it will spit out a smiley face.
Shunning sources of oppression and intolerance is a positive force in society, not something that deserves to be lumped in with "marginalizing parts of society that are different." We did that to South Africa, we do it to NK right now. Hand-waving them away as mere "contentious views" or "different" actively makes it easier for intolerance and oppression to spread. That's not just turning a blind eye to the problem, that's whitewashing it.
I wouldn't work for or buy from a CEO who I thought was likely to contribute to the KKK in the future.
Are you saying Mozilla should have taken the damage that this guy's leaked donation information caused? What if he decided to support the cause in the future and publicly declare it himself, should Mozilla have just taken the losses in that case as well? If so, isn't it wrong that the other employees would have to suffer for Eich's actions?
I see something rather immoral and shameful about donating to a campaign supporting an effort to strip rights from a group of people. There's a lot of historical precedence to back my view up. Like opinions, nobody's political cause is sacred. They aren't all fungible things, equally reasonable and worthy of respect.
A gun safe is like a garage and a trigger lock is like a wheel clamp...neither requires some token that's kept with the driver to be presented to the car on every use.
Check it out, nerds, this guy's life is so full of sex and violence that he packs both rubbers and heat at all times, and to him it ain't no thang. He probably wakes up in the morning, shoots a burglar on the way out the door and then goes to his job at the...Motorcycle and guitar store? Explosion factory? Something like that...but the cute UPS girl shows up and next thing you know he's got her bent over a desk and screaming for more. Then a workplace shooting breaks out and the shooter breaks into his office, but without even breaking rhythm he whips out his guns (yes he dual-wields!) and shoots the dude and drops a bitchin' double-entendre one-liner, like "Been a while since I shot two at once!"
No different from a car or chainsaw or pool huh? Point any of those things at me and try to kill me. I will stand 15ft away and attempt to dodge or flee. You get 10 chances and must reset to the 15ft distance after each attempt.
Good thing you didn't have to turn when you did this or the steering lock would have got you into a huge accident. I, for one, am glad you are no longer able to do this.
A better analogy would be the keyed ignition (mechanical or wireless electronic) which practically all cars already have to make unauthorized use more difficult.
Bring guns up to the same standard and then we'll talk;-)
I'm pretty sure it was meant as trollish humor. A more serious idea of the Libertarian Police Department is how the police work in Jennifer Government.
Well what would you propose doing to prevent people from choosing which products they consume? Because that's what it comes down to. People were free to stop using Firefox or stop watching NBA basketball. Mozilla and the NBA did not want this. So they removed the offending parties from their respective organizations, to remove the motivation for people to stop consuming their products.
There's a high-end RC hybrid-blimp-thing called the Hyperblimp, it's about 50ft long and transparent. It's been featured by various news stations as a UFO many times. Even with some pics close enough that you can see that it's clearly composed of non-exotic man-made technology. *facepalm*
This is about as dumb as an old acquaintance who wanted to convert his car to run on electricity, run by solar panels on the roof (yes, there are really people that stupid out there).
His idea was completely possible, for certain values of "car":
You don't want to have a house that looks unusually nice. If you have a nice car keep it inside a garage. Most old non-classics are safe from theft.
Now if you deck out your house with home security gear you're suggesting that you have something valuable to protect, but also that your house will be a hard and risky target, so that's a more complicated decision to make - generally I'd say it's worth it if you can follow the rest of the "don't be a target" rules.
If you have the nicest house on the block with an expensive car parked outside on the other hand, adding the security gear probably won't reduce your chances of being tied to a chair while some thug beats you up asking for the cartoon money bags and piles of jewels you surely have lying around (real thing that happens).
They've also been doing a great job of building the cars themselves, making it even more baffling. It's not like they were putting good batteries in crappy cars.

So what are the tech wages like in Salt Lake City?

So is a nuclear bomb and we don't let every Joe Schmoe have one, what's your point?

Now you sir, are a true badass.

Do you have a car with OnStar by any chance?

Get ready to have your mind blown, then look up "Pedestrian Impact Safety."
Yep this is why the hoods of so many modern cars are shaped like a fat man's belly.
A car also has steering and brakes and a forward speed relevant to human control (even the nutty fast ones).

Nobody's opinions are sacred.
Actions have consequences.
Deal with it.
So, the NSA must have like a shitload of hard drives.
They sure do! You might be able to see their storage array from space:

The NSA spied specifically on foreign corporations and the leaders of human rights organizations.
They didn't catch the Tsarnaev brothers.
Do the math.

Nope, if you live in a quiet neighborhood and look like a target, on the rare occasion when that neighborhood is hit, it will be your house.
The first and best way to avoid being robbed.
