Article doesn't disagree with your take:

"The firm risks joining the ranks of corporate untouchables like big tobacco. If that idea takes hold, Facebook risks losing its young, liberal staff. Even if its ageing customers stick with the social network, Facebook has bigger ambitions that could be foiled if public opinion continues to curdle."

yes.

I think the richer countries helping pay to vaccinate the world is a good and smart thing to do.

It should be. I also think economic sanctions, when done by a great power or groups of countries, should be considered an act of war.

You don't actually "need evidence of bias". You can let someone go if they are not an asset to the company. This guy certainly wasn't once the amount of annoyance and upset his words had caused others in the company was pointed out to management.

I just donated to the internet archive. I had not before and they keep doing such great work.

I hate them. They blow water all over the place and I can't help but touch them by mistake. I don't even use them and just wipe my hands on the back of my t-shirt like an animal after washing if there are no paper towels.

I think different folks have different experiences with quitting caffeine. I agree its worth the quick method for a lot of people, but I had a cousin who had to go slow like this.

"I'm sure plenty of people would be a lot less conspiracy-minded"

I think that is a ridiculous statement. The conspiracy-minded folks will be that way regardless of objective reality.

Content warning at that Pressure Ulcer click. Its rough and probably NSFW.

Sounds like a good fight. Hope they succeed.

This guy's website looks pretty out there. I wouldn't trust his conclusion. He looks to be well outside mainstream science who had already decided it came out of a lab.

I also could not find a wikipedia article about him.

Civility has already broken down because of the US government’s actions. Schools and other parts of the government are ending their contracts with police. People all over the country and looking hard at their actions and the actions of those companies or other entities they associate with.

When the government is acting this badly the social contract gets weaker and begins to fall apart.

This is just a reaction to those larger forces. Until those larger problems are addressed and the government starts acting more civilized there is no reason to expect or hope that business as usual will continue.

We are going through a very strange and extreme period in US History. Corporations are a huge part of the political landscape. Of course workers who are powerful will demand things of their workplaces.

All corporations are political. By accepting the ICE contract previously it was political. Now by reversing they would be changing sides. They were already in the political fray.

You would most likely go over a Tesla rather than under. Model X would likely be similarly dangerous to pedestrians as the Porsche.

SUVs are higher up and as a pedestrian your far more likely to go under them then over them compared to sedans.

Why are you certain of this? I do not think Police deserve the benefit of the doubt at this point.

I can almost guarantee that there was not 3/4c sugar used in the ice cream in the 17th century. Sweets were no where that sweet. They would have just used heavier cream instead I bet (since the sugar helps with texture in the lower fat modern ice cream recipes).

The author, in my reading, isn’t claiming these are bad changes. They are just saying that the changes require adjustments of how we manage the economy.

Taking action against the victims of the system isn't moral.

Not tipping is a lazy action where you are taking out your annoyance at the system on the people who are most damaged by the system. It does nothing to change the system.

Tip heavy, if you can afford it, and lament how annoying the whole system is over a drink with friends.

If you really hate it actually take political action (vote, protest, etc.).

Bail isn't needed. Most people show up to court. You can go track down folks who don't if the crime is worth it.

You can pay for those people through taxes.

Currently Cash bail, and pretrial incarceration is used as a punishment and serves no other purpose.

The government compiling a unknown before now list of people (probably mostly US Citizens) they don't like is always newsworthy.

Oh yes RFC process always keeps things from having compatibility issues.

I definitely never saw any issues with all those XML based standards like SOAP or XSLT.

Anorexia has a bad outcome (death).

Being transgender, even if we accept your premise, doesn’t.

A much better article.
