If this "project" follows the standard race-hustling/gender-hustling formula, it will look something like this:
1) They approach your company and ask for you to sponsor them, or hire them to provide diversity training, or pay them to do a diversity study of your company (aka they'll shake you down for money) 2) If you do sponsor/hire them, they'll call you progressive and give you a social justice free pass (a real commodity in ultra-liberal Silicon Valley) 3) If you don't, they'll cite you as an example of a company that's not "embracing diversity" and is clearly racist/sexist/homophobic blah blah. You must be, otherwise you would have embraced diversity by giving them money, right?
The article is a bit light in detail as to what Pao's trying to accomplish
My guess would be to extort businesses to give her money under the threat of calling them sexist-racists if they don't. You know, the standard race-hustling, gender-hustling modus operandi.
Consider it a $55 million stupidity fine on the Yahoo board for being stupid enough to buy into a bunch of "A female CEO will fix everything!" SJW bullshit.
He is respectful of the Russians he has trained and served with, and the lesson of the dissolution of tribal prejudices could be more important than any scientific discovery made during his time in space.
If you really want to make SJW heads explode, force them to choose between Indian females and American black males. They'll have to break out an oppression/victimhood chart and do some algebra on that one.
I, for one, support outlawing bad and will gladly sign a petition saying that bad should, in fact, be banned. Only the bad would support bad. And so I must support good, as must anyone who is good. I will, for that matter, go so far as to say that bad is bad and that good is good--and would take issue with anyone who would say otherwise.
If you think Apple hype is a thing of the past, I suggest you go over to Wired the next time Tim Cook so much as takes a shit. "Greatest Shit Ever!' proclaims Wired--followed by 20 articles with titles like "How This Shit Is Going To Change Everything" and "Apple's Revolutionary New Shit to Change the Way We Think About Shits."
Do you really think Amazon would be selling the hardware that cheap if it weren't locked down? They sell a $200+ tablet for $50 because they expect you to buy more than $150+ of Amazon stuff on it. That wouldn't work very well if they just let you buy from whoever on it.

To an SJW, disagreement is synonymous with harassment.
Never hire Ellen Pao.

That's commie-talk, son!
I just hope their PR people aren't helping design the crewed spacecraft they're never going to build again.
He's talking about the Gear VR, which is actually an Oculus product (though sold by Samsung):

You post is much funnier when read in Arnold Swartzenegger's voice.
I think the designer has crossed over from the Uncanny Valley to the top of Restraining Order Mountain.

I believe Clinton has already said she would support more H1B's. Only Trump and Sanders have even criticized the program.

They might accidentally do a good thing here.
As if thousands of Linux fans suddenly cried out in pain.
I fear something terrible has happened.

Won't someone please think of the children!
Nope. His beard is open source. It belongs to all of us.
Well, I've already patented my VR Vomit-Inducer. I'll make millions!
Thanks for keeping us posted on what you're not interested in.
Yeah because setting up and maintaining a host file is just as easy for the Average Joe as downloading Opera or an add-on.
And when Apple does it, they'll call it the greatest innovation of all time.

I can hear them typing away furiously on their Macbooks from here.
Automotive computers have to be hardened against things like random bit flips.
Sure, right after Microsoft makes a Windows that never crashes.
