How about right to use your stuff how you want?

Like not paying 10s of thousands for a Tesla that has a clause against using autopilot with ride sharing services other than Tesla.

The same just isn't true of product development, sales and marketing. Any one of those three teams, staffed well, will account for well more than the value of the entire engineering organization.

Okay, slash your engineering staff and double the sales people and lets see how you do.

How is any of that not done by thousands of other people as well? Especially sales.

It's pretty much paraphrasing what the CEO said about why they stopped providing services to the daily stormer.

Cloudflare can't be trusted anymore. If they want to say they have actual standards and rules that operate on (and shut down nazi sites based on those rules) that's fine.

> There is an increasing (and worrying) trend

No there isn't. That's like saying there is an increased trend among conservatives in general towards being Nazis.

There is an increase in the activity of the lunatic fringes on both sides. Ranging from hardcore tea party people to "OMG white people are the worst" morons all the way to antifa and neo-nazis.

> Edit: not exactly expecting upvotes for this post, but this thread clearly needs some balance.

It doesn't. Seriously, you're making excuses for a murderous white supremacist asshole.

> Is loss of human life an acceptable cost for free speech?

lots of people would say yes.

Well start by not saying they support your cause.

Yeah but the employees put in their 5 years and walk away with a cool half a million.

Having given up just... well about half a million working at a big tech company, but they got to change the world or something.

I wonder how much of this is just money?

Do you really need a team full of 40-50 year old people making big money, or is a couple of them plus a bunch of junior people good enough? It saves you money, the expensive people train the young ones to do the job well and make sure nothing gets screwed up badly.

Seems like the nature of the job somewhat dictates that competition will increase drastically as you move up in experience.

> The real kicker however, is that the people with mountains of cash figured out ways to move that money into their accounts without raising any eyebrows

Isn't this a victory? The money is in the system now, can't it be tracked better?

Lets say I'm a senior engineer at a successful startup. I helped build most of the services we have, I know the technology and I know the product. I'm good at my job.

We get acquired by google.

I now have to jump through the notorious google interview process to essentially keep the job I already know I can do.

Shapiro seems pretty extreme, just more mainstream conservatism.

Peterson just has a head the size of ontario at this point.

> Neuroticism (higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance).This may contribute to the higher levels of anxiety women report on Googlegeist and to the lower number of women in high stress jobs.

Women are less suited for high stress jobs, i.e. leadership positions.

> In the aftermath of the so-called Google memo affair, there has been no shortage of misleading and in some cases downright inaccurate media coverage painting the author, James Damore, and his supporters in a very unfavorable light.

Personally I think the biggest problem is that people who criticize him keep going "he's wrong" "you can't say that" "saying women are less interested is sexist". It just lets others further their manufactured outrage and act like victims of oppression.

Vs he said things that strongly implied his female coworkers were less competent and he was fired because of the damage this did to the work environment.

> it is difficult to see how one could read his memo in its entirety and walk away with the conclusion that it was written by someone who seeks to keep women out of technology

uh huh. I'm getting really tired of being told I just didn't read it or understand it. I read it. I think Damore is a fucking idiot for writing it that way. I also think the basic idea "maybe less women are interested" is perfectly reasonable to talk about. I think bringing up how much more neurotic women are was incredibly fucking stupid. I think bring up the fact that he's a conservative was just him whining. I think the people who say "it's science" are missing the point. I think his memo was incredibly slanted and discussed no reasons beyond some tenuous biological links as reasons for women not to go into tech.

I also think a lot of the people who keep complaining about how they want a dialogue are being disingenuous, because when someone says something against the memo the response is that they obviously didn't read it.

> a political movement seeking to raise awareness of how gender inequality issues affect men and boys that has long been smeared in the media as misogynistic.

maybe cause it's pretty misogynistic. check their Reddit sometime (although it's not as bad as MGTOW).

> it is not a hate movement rooted in misogyny

but there does seem to be a lot of misogyny in it.

They have real complaints about some things, but I feel like it's pretty easy to why people are turned off by it.

They also lose all ego and eventually become beings of pure energy.

People are competitive and do foolish things because of it.

People claim wikileaks to be unbiased, that's the difference.

> German measles “Liberty measles.”

odd thing to rename.

reminds me of freedom fries.

Does MIT licensing fix the patent issue?

Why not just go with BSD and drop the problematic patent clauses?

> Audiences did not want to see remakes of old TV shows (bad news for Baywatch and CHIPS).

21/22 jump street suggests the problem isn't with remakes of old shows but rather the quality of the remake. I was interested in baywatch, it got bad reviews so I didn't bother.

People don't want to see bad movies. I'm tired of the idea that comic book movies and sequels are all bad movies.

What do you have to hide?

and your response has been to act like a bunch of paranoid morons, giving up your freedom for the illusion of security.

Great job. Really showed the terrorists with that response.

Do they limit it only to contemporary impressions of the films, or do they let the idea that something is a "classic" cloud it?

> I really don't want to see another sequel, redo, or comic book movie.

Well millions and millions of other people do, so why should the movie companies cater to you instead?

Recent trend is to try and brand certain types of conservatism as "classical liberalism".

Don't really know why, but it's what they seem to want to do.

> Now, they are seen as the crazy right

Crazy right makes them sound very far to the right.

I'd consider them more kooky right, but in such a way that the result of their policies would be extremely far right. If everyone was a libertarian then maybe it would work better.

Ridiculous, people have been anti-nazi forever.

The Nazis being louder and more out in the open than before is new.

It's supposed to divide the land into areas such that each has about the same population.

It's not even remotely close, and that's why the system is so broken.

God no.

You create 2 sets of gatekeepers who have the job of not only gatekeeping, but also taking the other group of gatekeepers down.

Keep both honest.

> is that a reason to strip them of their ability to express their ideas?

Yes. They can go do their shit somewhere.

> Take for example some of the worst - Vegan Cross-fitters.

Because we are talking about annoying people and not those who advocate for genocide.
