You might have a misunderstanding of the term "hacker".
The historical hacker culture was not exactly friendly towards large corporations and "suits" in general.

It isn't nice to block the doorway It isn't nice to go to jail There are nicer ways to do it But the nice ways always fail - Malvina Reynolds, "It Isn't Nice" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lWkV2QpgQo
It doesn’t matter. The law is what it is. Breaking the law to get your way isn’t the right way to get things done. Otherwise we’d all be justified in doing it whenever we don’t like something and there would be no point in laws anymore. In a democracy, you can participate in our system and vote to have it changed, though. And that’s the effective way to address these issues.
I wonder what it would take to insert the equivalent of a “thermal vent” into the ”all-encompassing cloud solution” for the Israeli government. Maybe give the Israeli government private cloud the “us-east1” treatment during critical Israeli milops. Losing a $1.2B contract for Amazon or Google due to subterfuge is nothing. Wonder how the US government would respond though, especially since Israeli government is one of…
Regardless of your opinion of the Daily Wire, they have an in-depth article with details that the Washington Post omitted. With hyperlinks to each source: https://www.dailywire.com/news/google-employees-occupy-offic...
Why is everybody in every photo still wearing masks in 2024? Are there seriously still places where this is considered normal?
I can see both sides: Yes, Google offices are private property. Yes, Google is an American company - if Google's employees don't agree with an American company serving America and its allies - Israel has been an ally for a long time - then, they should leave for more agreeable pastures. They can even remove Google from their resume once they've found a better resume brand. However, If I were an employee at Google, an…
Are you suggesting whistleblowing? Or inserting exploits into the project?

You know, we hear this thing about Israel being a "long-standing ally" all the time, but what exactly does US get out of this alliance except for a massive yearly bill of military aid, and recurring feuds with basically everyone else in that region?
As a more practical matter, there is significant amount of technology transfer between Israel and the US, and Israel also is also a friendly and militarily capable country in a region where America doesn’t have many allies.
Also, does America provide much aid to Israel? I don’t think they do.

I'm curious about these white anti-white "racists" or black anti-black racists. I realize that people internalize racism in different ways so I definitely don't discount the idea that black people may conduct themselves in ways that demonstrate prejudice against black people, but I've heard never heard accusations that PoC solidarity groups represented by black people (which would be the closest example I can think o…
I'd guess something like 50% of practicing Jews in the diaspora hold beliefs that Jews are intrinsically better than non-jews Whoah, wtf? I don't care what your background is: no, not OK. I had a relatively straightforward non-normative point to make about how controversial JVP is, which you can easily Google to verify. I wasn't even here to tell you you were wrong: you asked a question, it had a straightforward answ…

It's pretty weak proof. It only says some part of it was billed to the ministry of defense. Who knows what it was used for? It could be their HR, billing, etc.

> Anti-Semitism appears to be rampant throughout Google’s workforce. If someone would have told me 5 years ago that in just a few years, Google employees would be accused of anti-semitism, or any -ism, really, I would have never believed it. They were on the frontlines "punching nazis" and fighting rising fascism here in US, and here they are, being accused of anti-semitism, themselves.
The protest was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace... are you suggesting they're an anti-semitic group?
