That is not the Nazi Party though, is it?

If a Republican wanted to work for a Democrat, and if he were denied employment for that reason alone, that would be illegal, yes.

Getting a sex change operation is a matter of choice, too.

Not much of a counterargument there.

I don't know what sort of consequences you're implying, but threatening someone over anything they say or think is certainly illegal.

And I'm holding you accountable for trying to get him fired.

It's illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis of their political stance. Nothing you can say will ever change that.

Every social justice warrior is a bigot by definition.

Thankfully, your kind is a very tiny percentage of the population.

Every employee affects the direction of the company in some amount, commensurate with their hierarchical level, security clearance, expertise, etc.

In normal, day to day operations, the CEO tends to have a bigger share of influence than other employees, but he neither has sole influence, nor always the biggest influence.

One could very well argue that Jonathan Ives had a bigger influence than Steve Jobs on Apple's direction around the time of iPod's release, for example. That product singlehandedly changed Apple's market segment and consumer perception.

In short, a CEO is just an employee, often getting paid more than the average employee, and often having more influence than the average employee, but not always.

They are actively working to disenfranchise Brendan Eich of his employment. They are doing this on the basis of his political stance. This is bigotry. They are bigots. What's worse, they're hypocritical bigots, because they're trying to pass this off as some sort of anti-bigotry stance.

All social justice is like this. It breaks down under the merest of scrutinty.

I just blacklisted you in my mind for unironically proposing that.

That would be a hell of an accomplishment, seeing as how the Nazi Party hasn't existed for more than half a century.

Discrimination on the basis of political stance is bigotry. There is no two ways about this.

It's certainly illegal to fire someone over that opinion, yes.

No, there isn't. A CEO is an employee, just one that tends to get paid above average.

Backdooring his employer's code would be directly related to his work, and illegal actions on his own time would make him unemployable if caught and convicted, because he'd go to prison. False equivalances, all.

They're certainly not treating Brendan Eich equally.

Discrimination on the basis of political stance is bigotry, too.

Their position is extremely hypocritical, and by defending it, you become complicit in their hypocrisy.

When you're attempting blackmail, you need to ensure that your hostage has value to your victims that is commensurate with your ransom demand.

You have a shitty puzzle game that's getting "thousands of downloads" and you want Mozilla to fire their CEO over that.

Not going to happen. We can do without your shitty puzzle game, thanks.

The more you tighten your grip, Tayyip, the more tweets will slip through your filters.

How do you promote the domain? That's the real question. Twitter makes it quick, effortless and free to disseminate really interesting information. It's slower, more cumbersome, possibly more expensive with other methods, even with something like email.

Technically, yes. Usability-wise, no. Most Turkish internet users are mobile-based, anyway.

It is nontrivial to switch millions of people over to a completely new platform and reestablish the literally billions of connections among them, nor is Twister's infrastructure ready to handle the influx.

For now, Twitter over VPN/TOR is the only workable solution.

The internet is comments. There's nothing else to it.

Thanks!

I saw a post listing the precursors to 2048, but can't track it down. Can someone with knowledge point me in the right direction? Thaks.

The biggest problem is that these games are categorized as free in app stores. This is false advertising.

A new category (maybe called "freemium") needs to be set up for games like these, so we can avoid them wholesale.

Keyword is "tend to".

A blind person using a screen reader cannot see your ads. Is he committing piracy?

Extroverts will tend to use computers to the extent that they help their real life activities, and won't invest significant amounts of time, energy, and psychological engagement into online activities, particularly interaction with online communities.

Trolls turn out to be extroverts -- but extroverts with "disagreeable" personality traits.

I seriously doubt that extroverts waste their time trolling others online. They probably have much better things to do in real life.
