is your definition of that due to your political positions or is it a moral absolute?
Actually, it's pretty easy to decide if something is a moral absolute or not: If it's OK for everyone to do it then you can, if it's not OK for everyone to do it, then you Kant.

In the event of pressure loss, an oxygen mask will drop from the overhead compartment. Please pull the mask to extend it completely and start the flow of oxygen, then place the mask over your nose and mouth and place the strap around your head to hold it in place. Put on your mask before helping children or others in need of assistance.
In the event of power loss, bicycle pedals will extend from the floor of the cabin. Please pedal as if our lives depended on it
What were you doing you could be replaced that easily?
What the hell are you doing that you can't? News flash for you: we replace our President every 4 to 8 years and the sun still rises the next day. If you can't be replaced tomorrow, then someone done fucked up.
My complex straight up stopped signing for packages. You have a job to pay your rent? Tough tits, pay up for FedEx Saturday (or buy from amazon and time it for USPS Sunday delivery) .
The comments on that article are pretty interesting, most of them supporting the professor are along the lines of "These students absolutely are unprofessional! Who expects to keep their job after calling their boss a fucking moron?!"
They seem to miss the point that as a management class, these students expect to BE the boss, and they expect that there will be no repercussions when they tell their employee that they're a fucking moron.
Furthermore, now that these people will pass and become managers, I wouldn't be surprised if one of these people texts an employee telling them he is firing her because she wouldn't sleep with him, then when he loses his lawsuit and his money he'll go around telling everyone how an ugly bitch ruined his life.
As a bonus, the guy who loaned the printer to me told me (afterwards) that there's a driver that works perfectly fine already in Windows if I navigate through the manufacturer listing and select it by hand.
Can you do it faster than on windows, where I plug a usb printer in and it spins for minutes searching windows update for a driver? I don't know how long it actually takes, since when I did this last week, it took me less time as a human to go to google, search for the printer, download the driver, cancel windows update and install the driver by hand.
The problem is that something like nitrogen is too humane and sanitary. The people who want executions banned will be unable to show some guy twitching and flailing about to rally people to their cause, and the people who want firing squads and guillotines won't have some guy twitching and flailing about to appease their bloodlust.
They can outsource, refuse to sign a contract and bring in replacements, move to another non-union location
That's too much work, they'd rather sign the contract, then have the right wing fall all over themselves to scream about how horrible the bank^Wlabor unions are for forcing poor widdle homeow^Wemployers into signing contracts they can't afford/can't understand/whatever the excuse is this time.
Especially since by the time the contract has been found to be "too expensive" the guy who signed it has already taken his gold parachute and jumped.
I'd much rather pay $30/month for a nominal 40 Mb/s connection to Netflix, but a 1.5 Mb/s general connection otherwise.
The fact is that the connection from the ISP to "the internet" is dirt cheap, it's the connection from you to the ISP that you're paying $40 for. Getting that connection to 40mbps is going to cost you that money whether your ISP forbids you to use it sometimes or not.
Your Net Neutrality doesn't allow for that.
What we wanted our net neutrality to do, is to prevent ISPs from telling Netflix that their customers can't access their site unless they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in protection fees, despite their customers paying for a "general connection to the internet" and despite Netflix paying for their connection to the internet.
If it's antitheft software than at a minimum i'd expect it to be running as administrator and phoning home every few minutes reporting the last 5 networks it was connected to and every wireless AP it can see along with signal strengths for wifi geolocation/triangulation. At a minimum.
Any program you're running could do most of that (except maybe tap into the wireless AP list without admin access).
No, as long as no undeserved molestation has resulted from such surveillance, it does not qualify for "Police State".
Sorry, but having Big Brother observe each and every one of us through the telescreen is absolutely Police State. Being put on "a list" is unquestionably a threat, even if nobody is at liberty to say just what being on that list does. (It does do something, right? I mean, you're not just supporting Big Government spending your tax dollars to make lists and throw them away and then making more lists, right?)
You'd be OK with the government having "a list" of every gun owner in the country, right? Because at this point, I'm pretty sure the NSA has one. Those forms that sellers mail in on toilet paper go somewhere.
Snowden does not mention it
Oh, he doesn't?
It is interesting to note that this rule specifically avoids fingerprinting users believed to be located in Five Eyes countries, while other rules make no such distinction. For instance, the following fingerprint targets users visiting the Tails and Linux Journal websites, or performing certain web searches related to Tails, and makes no distinction about the country of the user
Oh dear, it looks like you might be right. XKeyscore wasn't from the UK, it's run right here in the good ol' US of A. Against fellow Americans, "without distinction".
not only have we seen any evidence of innocents prosecuted
Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence, especially when the government has demonstrated the ability to destroy evidence and immediately kill any court proceeding for "national security". Al Haramain's lawyer had their warrantless wiretap transcript mailed to him, the government destroyed that evidence and killed their lawsuit repeatedly due to "lack" of evidence.
we have not even seen allegations
What would such an allegation look like? How would we tell it apart from the waves of everyone else getting released for false convictions, because they've only been in prison since the NSA started spying on everyone instead of being imprisoned for 30 years?
Maybe it'd look like the IRS denying your nonprofit status application? I wonder if we'll ever find those emails...

in the real world everyone is expendable except for the CEO
And that's why when Steve Jobs died, he was entombed along with all of his employees to care for him in his next life.
Or maybe he, too, was replaced.

This was Windows 7.

Gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelet
As long as you don't have to pay for the eggs you're cracking, right?
you could ingest a device that pretends to use your biometrics for security validation
Be sure to check your pill to see if there's a skimmer taped to it!
Kitty!
Bah. It needs to be called Thürst or nobody will take it seriously.

Use a light bulb? I think that'll add $0.05 to the cost of the car, just make it scream like a little girl when I'm changing lanes.
I drove a rental with that technology once. All those years of playing old school top-down driving games finally got put to good use!
Now if only they could add a wide-angle chase cam so you can see everything around and ahead of you.

Clearly this is the algorithm managers need even if it isn't the algorithm managers want. I can see it already:
"how can this be right???! All of the inputs are the things I do! Something isnt right here!"
It's called EXIF. Easy to strip with tools designed for it. Hard to find phones that come with thisr tools.

brave is kind of silly.

Oh wait, there isn't. But there should be.
