The employer is Mozilla. CEO reports to the board. They could have told everyone who called for his resignation, including external parties, to fk-off but they chose to pay him to step down. He probably got a good payoff out of this and will not press charges so it is moot point.
This is all hypothetical. He can make the case for wrongful termination but he probably got good severance package for stepping down on his own so he will not sue. There is no case without the injured party.
The chairman of the board went on the record saying "It's clear that Brendan cannot lead Mozilla in this setting". She basically said that he was not fit for the job because of his political views. That's ought to be enough to support "constructive discharge"
Quitting under peer pressure equates to "constructive dismissal": "Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee is forced to quit because the employer has made working conditions unbearable".
FDA is fighting a fight it already lost. Just another outdated business model fighting something it struggles to embrace. Just like music industry was fighting Napster. Just like US government was fighting for encryption export controls. The information is out there. opensnp, promethease, even google. Anyone can connect the dots and they technically don't need 23andMe to do that. 23andMe makes it easier to consume that information but it is just a messenger.
You say that "false positives" are catastrophic. I doubt that a woman would perform a double mastectomy on itself. She would get second or third opinion from doctors and surgeons. Consider the alternative for a second - what if a women never learned about this risk and died of cancer a few years later.
Consumers will get the information they need one way or another. There is nothing FDA can do to stop it. Tests can be done offshore if needed. The beauty about genetic tests is that you only need to do it once in your lifetime.
Most cyber insurance policies require auditable security system in place. They will audit it after the incident and they usually will find reasons not to pay if you have never done external security audit and if CEO thinks that security is IT job.

The main problem with smart guns is the same as with smart humans: intelligence deteriorates dramatically after lying in a swamp for few hours.
... this is when you know that your model does not work
There are always ethical concerns whenever eugenics and selective breeding is involved. The lines get blurry really fast.
Then we can rename it for what it is: ntoskrnl.exe
... you can always fork your own kernel.
Let me get this straight: if someone wants to be Napoleon - let them and buy them bicorne as part of the treatment?
Like California government and gun owners. The nut jobs who are in charge is the only difference: left or right.
... they should not be allowed to work in IT.
"worthy" is better judged in restrospect.
We have Taco Bell. It will spread faster than flu.
Except targeting radar of the missile launcher has no such capability. It locks on target and then fires automatically or waits for command.
Next, NoSQL databases will add schema and ACID support and the circle will be complete.
It does not matter. It shows the state of mind. In any case, this is all moot because he is obviously not suing the company.
By this logic, if the company hires black CEO and customer leave because of that, CEO should step down? Is this how it works?

He was "constructively dismissed". He was unable to perform his job because of hostile work environment.
