Comment Re: GOOGLE NEED 2 FIRE ALL TOXIC EMPLOYEES!!! (Score 1) 105

The reason Google will not retaliate against the protests is because they need those people to do work. Google is very competitive in terms of hiring the smartest people, so when those really smart people whine and complain about things, the company has to cave so that the employees will not quit and go work for Microsoft or Amazon.

Fox can choose to not broadcast \ report any news that doesn't fit their world view, and so can Twitter.

Fox is the company that is generating the content of the new reports that they broadcast (they tell the news anchor what to say).

According to TFA,

Many of the conduits at risk are already close to sea level and only a slight rise in ocean levels due to melting polar ice and thermal expansion as climate warms will be needed to expose buried fiber optic cables to sea water.

They are talking about cables that are buried underground. Right now, if you need to service the cables, you just dig up the ground to get to the cables and service them. If the ground in which the cables are buried is underwater, it makes it more difficult dig them up and service them.

I wonder though if its more likely to be related to other hobbies, such as cycling, or running where people drink coffee along with a physical task that involves a coffee break.

Who is going to get all hot and sweaty doing a physical activity, and then go drink a hot cup of coffee as a refreshment? That is a rather silly idea. Caffeine actually increases your thirst.
