I couldn’t help but think that if Palanteer employees ever decide to quit based on their company’s questionable decisions, there’d be no one left to work there.
I left a good job with an insurance company, not in protest really, but just because I hated the idea of being a part of an industry I despise so much. Unfortunately my departure didn't shake the foundation of their business, but I'm no longer embarrassed to talk about who I work for.

Why would you not want to take about that? Did the insurance company have a very bad reputation? Because I certainly would not be embarrassed to work for some insurance companies because they can be fair and quite reasonable (while others are not).
I think it's completely bullshit, we need these industries.
I see comments about how Google should be protecting the country, thus failing some sort of patriotism test. I don't understand how people don't see that Google is a global company, and really should be providing lethal cloud services to all nations to harm all of its users instead of just some of them. Some of you are way too US centric in your viewpoints.

My personal conspiracy theory is this is Google’s way to get its notorious horde of SJWs to resign en masse. I left years ago, and even back then the internal Google+ was a festering, aggressively intolerant SJW cesspool. There are dozens of people who seem to spend all day there posting the most ludicrous SJW bullshit and virtue signaling, and seemingly do nothing else (according to eg Critique, the internal code re…

Let alone the whole with profits funds sector of the industry.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
China and Russia, and the general lack of democracy in certain oil-laden countries.
China is not a threat. Russia, North Korea, and certain Middle East countries are.
That is, to a certain degree, also true for Russia. Revenues for NAtural Gas and Oil are crucial for the state, they'd have to cut expenses significantly if oil prices were back at $30/bbl for more than just a few years.
My guess is that this is mostly political in that if Hillary were in the WH, this would not have been news despite a likely increase in “droning”, given her expression around droning. If they really had ethical concerns they’d have quit long ago given all the data collected from their users —I get it advertising is their bread and butter. We’ll see how GDPR affects their behavior at home and if it means anything.
Because everyone who doesn't share your ethics must have none?
I like and support the GDPR, but that's the most intolerant statement I've read in a while on HN.
