This article sounds like another bit of justification for what Silicon Valley has already started to do (effectively banning all conservatives from posting on the internet). See the sig.
You hire a liberal arts music major as head of security to fill a gender diversity quota, and then you're surprised by this?
Wow, I thought you were trolling until I actually looked it up. WTF were they THINKING? You're not supposed to give a token diversity hire an actual job. You're supposed to appoint them to a bullshit position where they can't do any actual damage, then put their picture in all your brochures to virtue-signal to everyone how progressive you are.
You obviously don't know how science works. Here you go:
1) When you have unusually hot or volatile weather, that's evidence of man-made climate change. 2) When things are cool or calm then weather is not the same as climate, therefore it doesn't offer evidence against man-made climate change. 3) If the weather is unusually hot or unusually cold, or anywhere in between, that's clear evidence of man-made climate change.
Don't listen to critics who say Global Warming has become a religion. Religion is completely irrational and has nothing to do with science. For example, religions believe irrational things like:
1) If child recovers from a terminal illness, that's a miracle and is evidence of God's divine hand. 2) If a child doesn't recover from a terminal illness and dies, that's clearly not God's fault. It's just life. 3) If good or bad things happen to a child, or anything in between, that's all part of God's larger plan.
Yeah, "The new iPhone comes with an automatic feature that locates nearby restaurants when it hears your stomach growl" should get you at least 10 fawning articles in Wired and several segments on The Tonight Show where a half-drunk Jimmy Fallon calls it the greatest thing ever.
These data breaches follow an inevitable life-cycle:
1) Initial release: "We had a data breach which effected some, but not all, of our customers. The data breach was limited, and did not include bank account numbers, CC numbers, etc."
2) A week or two later: "The data breach we reported may have included more customers than we initially reported. Some customers may have had sensitive information like CC information and bank account information compromised."
3) A month later (in a quiet press release late on a Friday afternoon): "It was everyone, and they got everything."
Nope, because that implies that white males can ever be a victim instead of just a perpetrator/oppressor. And true SJW's know that that's simply not possible, ever.
Ashley Nicole Black, a correspondent on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee who uses her unique comedic style to take on government surveillance, encryption, and freedom of information.
Translation: a black woman liberal "performance studies" major who never said jackshit about government surveillance when it was Barak Obama doing it, but who is going to be the keynote speaker at this event because she's the right color, gender, and political affiliation to score us our requisite SJW virtue points, even if she knows fuck-all about technology.
I'm all for freedom of speech but as a society committed to freedom and openness we do need to keep an eye on our least desirable elements*
* "Least desirable elements" to only include conservatives, Trump voters, white males, old-school liberals, and anyone else who disagrees with the SJW agenda.
I accidentally stumbled on an episode of Girls and saw Lena Dunham naked. Wipe all my memories if you have to! Just get me out of this living nightmare!
Last I heard these awards are more about diversity and virtue signaling than any kind of merit.
The list of winners tells the story. Only two white males on it, and both were paired with women or minorities. The Hugos are about as welcoming to cis white males these days as a Birmingham lunch counter was to blacks in the 1950's. And you can bet it'll be the same next year. Once the SJW cancer sets in, there is no cure.
If an Asminov, Bradbury, or Fredrick Pohl started out today they wouldn't even get published, much less have a chance at winning an award.
Sadly, pretty much all the major science fiction awards have been infected with the SJW cancer. If you're a white male writer, you can pretty much forget winning any award, unless you're grandfathered in and were already a huge name before the SJWs took over. You'll be lucky to even get published in any of the big journals anymore.
Do the Kennedy's still have armed guards on "their" beaches?
Not only that, but they tried to stop a wind farm from being built that might spoil the view from one of their many estates. If it were one of the common people trying to block a wind or solar farm, any number of Kennedys would of course be the first in line to condemn them as evil anti-environmentalists.

I just hope someone invents a robot that can buy all the stuff that robots are making. Otherwise, I think the system might have a fatal flaw.
Your elected officials in action, folks.

Besides, everybody claims to be autistic these days. It's so hot right now.

Just look at the list of features on a good Android phone from a year ago and then double the price. Bingo!

Take THAT Judge Rockaway! It's cancer treatment now! So I spit on your court order to attend AA meetings!
I love my little Roku 3. I wish it were legal to marry it, or my sister. Either one.
1. Give every student a computer
2. ??
3. Learning!
Found the idiot.

Wonder how they train this pseudo-AI to recognize what hate crime is
It's a pretty simple algorithm actually:
IF Victim = ("black" OR "woman" OR "gay" OR "Muslim") AND Perpetrator = "straight white male"
THEN HateCrime = TRUE
ELSE HateCrime = FALSE

FTFY
Yeah, everyone is promising to do a lot of stuff someday.
Every day is pain now.

Just remember that the laws you create to oppress your enemies today will be used against you tomorrow.
Just ask this guy.
And who gets to define what's true?
Is it me?? It's, me isn't it!?!
