You "protest" on your own time. If you don't like the actions of your employer you can raise those concerns internally, or quit. Your boss has NO obligation to accommodate your desire to protest at your place of work, and other workers who don't want to participate shouldn't have to put up with it either.

You have a right to protest. They have a right to fire you for it, and have you removed from the premises. In my opinion, you should also not be able to win a retaliation suit in such a case. You and your employer both have rights.

If you don't want employees to protest your behavior, amass a bunch of followers. No doubt you can come up with some way to achieve that through hiring and layoff practices. Just don't be surprised if their work is low-rate.

Comment Re: Where is the killer app? (Score 1) 118

What I want is something that recognizes stuff, labels it if I look at it long enough, provides links to more info, does translations of written text from signs to books, does measurements of objects... Basically a lot of stuff I can do with my phone already but which would be a lot more convenient without having to use my hands. Look at an engine part and get the right manual page, look at a bolt and get a torque spec...

The other thing is, if you know how to make a hybrid, you know how to make an EV. It's not like it's hard to scale up an electric power system. The motor driver is a small challenge, but the rest is just more and or bigger with no real complexity changes. So there is really no excuse for them not being able to make a compelling EV.

Comment Re: Hydrogen vs batteries [Re:Orders of magnitude] (Score 1) 151

Part of hydrogen technology has improved a lot. A partnership between GM and Honda significantly improved fuel cells, mostly in the cost department.

Storage is still terrible, though, which is why it's failing.

Maybe someday someone will solve the hydrogen storage problem in a reasonable way, and then it might take off. But if batteries continue improving as they are then it's going to be even harder for it to catch up.

"Simping for Hamas is absolutely a crystal clear example of employees... of human beings in general... who "did the wrong thing."

Yes, netanyahu, who told us that he was deliberately funding Hamas back in 2017 for the purpose of developing support for violently conquering Palestine, certainly did the wrong thing. So why are we funding genocide? He's an American citizen!

"who the fuck is the UN to tell ANY sovereign power what to do, much less occupy any country?"

Good point. They should not have founded the nation of Israel in the partition of Palestine in the first place.

But now that they have, there is a moral obligation to address the problem of Israel perpetrating a holocaust against Palestine.

You are happy with a status quo which involves the torture and murder of Muslims, so you don't want anything done. Just admit that so we can move on without you.
