Person objects to a search. Roommate allows search. Subsequently, person sues roommate for allowing the violation of his privacy.
If you have a roommate, you'd better have an agreement (maybe even written) about who is allowed to do what when it involves each others property and legal rights.
No thanks. That just places political power in the hands of the first group willing to turn to violence or foment some sort of insurrection to get their way.
Your taking offense at something is entirely your problem. Not mine.
Of all the employees at the Google Mountain View site, how many live in San Francisco? How many live in other communities surrounding the HQ? And don't want to live in a city. Should Google bus in its employees living in Santa Cruz instead?
The concept of locating in an urban center where all the hipster employees want to live is a clever way of managing wages. Hire all the cheap college grads who don't mind cramped accommodations and whose idea of 'amenities' is a supply of bars within walking distance. But once they get married, have kids and maybe a few hobbies that take a bit more room, they'll have to commute. Or leave and find a more convenient job. Which might have been the plan all along.
Google (and other companies) are thinking ahead. They look at the long term mix of their workforce and the logistics associated with them over time.
Probably bought a list from the CA State DMV. I can't speak for California specifically, but many states will sell any and all data they have on you to practically anyone.
Google is willing to pay. Heck, some municipalities are willing to pay. This reminds me of an old joke:
A carpet-bagger and a Texas cowboy were seated on a train across from a very attractive woman. The carpet-bagger leans over and propositions the woman, offering her $10 for sex. Saying nothing, she just sits there, looking shocked. A few minutes later, the carpet-bagger offers her $25. At this point, the cowboy pulls out his revolver and shoots the man dead.
The woman gushes, "Thank you, sir. For standing up for my honor."
"It warn't that, ma'am. I jus' didn't want no northerner bidding up the price of prostitutes in Texas."
Expedite permits for people who refuse to do work.
How about: Municipalities write up a batch of permits and leave the utilities name blank. First one to schedule the work gets the permit and everyone else can go f*ck themselves.
I don't know about this. Microsoft (and other corporations) can afford to seed more positive gossip about themselves and negative about their competition than you or I could ever hope to. But when its based on authoritative sources, its a different matter.
I hold the DoJ personally responsible for letting Microsoft off the anti trust hook. Along with the CIA/NSA/FBI. Ever wonder why their consent decree had to be overseen by a FISA court judge? They were required to open their APIs and share documentation with their competition, but only right up to where that special encryption module resides. Then its all back doors, law enforcement exploits and trap doors.
Aside from that, the court's finding of facts was enough ammunition to provide grounds for legitimate "gossip". Short of that, there's a legitimate argument for "Why all the hate?" So we have to hold our judicial branch's feet to the fire and ensure that they don't get taken over by special interests. Its Microsoft's (and every other corporations) duty to push the envelope right up to the steps of the courthouse in the name of shareholder profits. Corporations are psychopaths. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Better analogy. We've got them pushed back behind a DMZ and there hasn't been any shooting for three years now. But with every change in illustrious leaders, we all wonder what sort of belligerent crap they'll pull next.
There is a lot of software talent and good ideas at Microsoft. And like North Korea, they can't get out and will probably starve to death inside.
I strongly suggest that you re-evaluate the needs of those public servants who had their blue lights on en route to their coffee/donut break a few months back.
Yes, but think of the culture. Thanks to FAA regulations, Americans are completely unfamiliar with the commercial versions of these. See a little quad-copter and camera flying around and we must be under attack. Meanwhile, the rest of the world pulls ahead of us technologically developing these for crop monitoring, search and rescue, utility line inspection and a bunch of other applications.
We are still behaving much like some Amazon tribe seeing its first airplane pass overhead. Shaking our talismans and screaming at it in fear.
Food prices, politics, religion, losing the World Cup. The model should state "people riot when they don't get what they want". And then there's this 'Global Uprisings' thing. Different populations have different sensitivities to prices on various commodities. India might experience food riots. In the USA, we didn't 'riot' until the bond yields paid to the trust fund babies dropped after the banking crash. I have a difficult time calling that global.

Yeah, I know there's no book. But the target demographic is those who wait for the movie.

There are a lot of closed large factories around the country though.

Thank goodness. I thought it would be something along the lines of not changing latex gloves between passengers.

Or Antarctica, if that's where you'll be.

I hope this doesn't invalidate my family coat of arms which I paid good money for some years back.
Butt hurt on the part of the telecom/cable companies.

That must have been done on behalf of the ant lobby. Aluminum foil and magnifying glasses.
