FMguru posted:johnny fireball with an actual good point this may be more true for microsoft but perhaps google as well, but i think there’s a pattern. 1. Our brand sucks. Spin up a new brand and make it cool so we can be cool again. Eg. Xbox. 2. Our other brand is succeeding, let’s merge it into our parent brand to create a clear ecosystem and umbrella effect. 3. Go directly to 1. Usually phase 2 logically comes with corporate fuckery as they try leverage their brand for other business objectives now that it’s under a shared roof. Perhaps it’s that Google did this to some extent and Pixel is the new make-us-cool-again spinoff. Or maybe I’m talking bullshit out of my mouth.

the stage is being set for damore's return as a consultant on how best to cultivate their best (read: wasp) workers while keeping the others quiet and complacent, since they're troublemakers who file lawsuits at the drop of a hat (read: after years of institutional discrimination)

quote:A mailing list Damore created for discussion of his memo, “pc-harmful-discuss,” remains active and unmoderated. Recently, the list was used to solicit funds for Damore’s lawsuit, a source said. and I thought our dept's yammer group for superhero movies was bad

lol it is much worse than that. the ruling is written in a way that basically means fair use does not exist when a for profit entity is remotely involved. loving CAFC is in love with the idea that all things should be covered by intellectual property laws in some form.
