If the employees had more say instead of the companies being led by a handful of psychopathic execs who the employees barely have any control over, maybe they WOULD be ethical. Those same execs who created Google's ethicswashing board and with a "defense" exec and a Bioshock Infinite character on it in the first place.
Who actually signed the petition. And even just the number of Google employees who signed caused the "tiny mob" to outnumber the "large group" 125-to-1.
Had one like that, then she opened an attachment containing ransomware, full restore of her PC and every file share in existence was required...and what's even funnier is that the same woman who in private demanded the keys to the kingdom was, to the rank and file employee, a huge proponent of secrecy and compartmentalization...
Mint has been my go-to Linux desktop distro since Ubuntu's default package & DE selection went off the rails into crazytown way back when. A few old computers at the office run it and people who don't know what a Linux is use it without trouble. Looks like success to me!
I have a Zero W (with a stick-on SoC heatsink) in a box in my back yard that runs fine when the temperature in the box gets in the 50-60C range. Guess I could try it in a freezer to see how it does with cold.
I do, and also that patterns change. The USA hasn't taken over Canada even though it would be fairly easy to do with a military sized to occupy a planet, why? Why did they give up on invading Cuba? Why has no other recent US President considered annexing Venezuela and taking their oil just for shits n' giggles? Why hasn't the US just nuked North Korea? The reason: Diplomacy - that shit works, and the world uses it more these days. I admit it's easy to miss, but we have progressed a bit from being warring tribes of cavemen in areas other than technology.
The cost of that happening is massive "in blood and treasure". No. You deter violence, you don't wait for it to happen to you. Strength is the only way to deter a bully, or a psychopath.
There's a time when presenting strength makes sense, and it comes just before deterring violence. When Russia's fucking with former satellite states on the other side of the planet, participating in arms races but otherwise posing no physical threat to the US? Not a good time. Presenting strength unnecessarily does approximately nothing for a lot of money at best, or causes escalation at worst. You'll also note that military strength did not deter the Nazis from invading Russia.
There are no bullies that pose a physical threat to the US right now. Keep in mind that having the capability to pose a threat is not the same as posing a threat. Russia and China bully the little countries in their back yards, and of course Russia is the world's top information warfare threat, but they're not thinking about invading the US.
Playing catchup publicly in an arms race is exactly how you perpetuate an arms race. The only ways to win are not to play, or at leasy to not let anyone know you're playing. Countries don't attack just because they think they have an edge, presenting strength is usually not necessary and is merely a secondary use of a military. The point of having a military is, or should be, the capability to defend a country if attacked.
The Western world and especially the US has been unusually gentle on white nationalists for too long, it's only fair that they should be treated just as harshly as jihadists - in the US, they've been racking up similar body counts in recent years. Dylann Roof was a wake-up call, in quite the opposite way from what he intended - he exposed the potential danger from any of the white nationalist backwoods militiamen the US had been coddling since forever.
The downside of this ban is that as mainstream discussion sites ban white nationalists, only some will move to white-nationalism-oriented discussion sites (the best place for them, other than trapped in a basement with pills), while others will settle on other more general discussion sites that allow white nationalism...which means even more of them on Slashdot:-(
One good reason to have a different name is to do away with the space-based-arms-race-provoking nature of "Space Force," which likely contributed to India being emboldened to carry out this test.
If any country feels that they absolutely must have a space-based weapons program despite all the good reasons not to, they should keep it top secret. The Soviets were smart enough to know that:
Could this benefit Trump via his ownership of a collection of energy-wasting shitbox buildings? Perhaps through reduced retrofit costs, or simply greater aesthetic flexibility (energy efficiency be damned?)
I think whistling and looking the other way from that kind of thing, calling the recognition of Islamophobia as being just as bad as anti-Semitism "watering down," is disgusting.
What evidence is there that the shooter was sexually abused in Pakistan or groomed by the Mossad? And you think the Mossad wants to sponsor a terrorist to carry out an attack in Australia for some reason? Seems like a lot of unsupported nonsense to me.
People who apologized for and renounced their racism? Do you have any examples of unapologetic practicing racists like the ones I listed?
Also the Democrats have rebuked anti-Semitism within their own ranks. But the Republicans want them to rebuke anti-semitism separately and not alongside Islamophobia or anything else...why don't they like rebukes of Islamophobia? Curious.
Which party is it again that Steve King, Steve Scalise, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Corey Stewart, Jason Spencer, and Donald "very fine people" Trump have had their political careers with?
It's stupid as shit considering that the parties today have nothing in common with the parties of the civil war era other than the names. Look at which party hosts all of the neo-confederates and white nationalist apologists today. It's far more informative than historical-semantic wordplay.
Incidentally, Tarrant was a FAR-leftist, out to the crazy anarchist circles of eco-terrorism. Calling him "right-wing" or "alt-right" is absurd, and shows how little people care about what they say anymore, as long as they are blaming the "other side".
This is either a hilarious misunderstanding or a strategic lie to expose more people to his manifesto. The guy was a boilerplate white nationalist aside from a shout-out to "eco-fascism."
PewDiePie isn't even the most mainstream-friendly entry point to the pipeline. Professional intolerant asshats like Jordan Peterson and the various casual white nationalists on Fox News are much more old-fart-friendly that PewDiePie.
Driving them underground does work well, it reduces their intake of new recruits and propaganda reach without making them meaningfully more difficult to surveil.

Yet another large group

folds just because some tiny mob of people are angry.

Not the way browsers treat plaintext HTTP vs. self-signed HTTPS, not the DNS or BGP security clusterfucks, not the CA system, nothing? Really?

Notch has deplorable views, MS wants to minimize its association with said views.

You heard it first on Slashdot folks, toll road payment checking system = war crimes.
Punching a nazi is its own prize! XD
You know nothing of history.

Teddy Roosevelt got it right - walk softly and carry a big stick.

Hey, I'm not the one defending the party that does this:

And forgetting to mention the primary target of the holocaust because others were also targeted isn't "watering it down?"
Conservative bad-faith false-equivalence ultra-hypocrisy is so tiresome.
Sounds like a lie to me, how much more completely can one apologize?

Will you apologize for your lie?

Yep, only one I miss. I should go to FreshRSS on my own server, but I settled for G2Reader. Buggy but low-effort on my end.
