Myy friend, being 33 or so, fell out of Segway, fractured his hip, ruptured an artery in it and almost died from internal bleeding. Now he has fun going through airport security scanners.

I do not think it ever can be classified as a mobility device for elderly.
You have your causality backwards, check the dates:

The US went off the gold standard in 1933 because of the crash of 1929, which (obviously) happened under the gold standard. It was part of an extreme but ultimately successful project to re-mobilize the economy. Although the dramatic federally-directed transformation seems to have left a lot of scars on US politics.
It's true that the generic nouns don't say much, but the company names would say even less.

Since examples are the best way to learn, I would be interested if anyone could come up with a better title for this thread. It's not obvious how to do this!
If a women meets a guy for a date after meeting through OKCupid (lets say he showed up in the list of recommended matches based on their profile) and he rapes her. Are you saying OKCupid should be sued?
Members of a (quasi?) government organization harassed a company and joked about paying someone to murder a CEO because they did not like how the company marketed its products.

I don't disagree with the content of your statements, but debating whether the government organization's concerns had merit seems like it misses the point of this discussion.
FSF considers many things not permissible, that thrive despite their harsh judgment. So what's the purpose of saying "permissible" then? According to whom and why?

FSF is an ideological organization, they're a bit like the religious equivalent of some clergy in the far East.

Yes I know a circle of people respect FSF a lot and pay attention every time they wave their fingers at someone. The same is also true of the ayatollah when he issues a fatwa. And then the world keeps spinning and nothing changes.
(Bitcoin is no currency...)

I put it bluntly sorry, but to be more explicit:

because of its volatility, BTC is very difficult to adopt for real transactions.

Also, with a simple VPN, you access PayPal and you're good to go.

I'd argue that the real tech saving the world right now is the VPN.

Even to use BTC somehow you will need VPN, because those dictatorships will block the IPs.
According to their web site, one of their premises is that renewable electricity is now cheap and plentiful. If that's so, I'm led to wonder if there is a more direct way to reduce CO2 emissions in cement manufacture, namely, use resistive or carbon-arc heating to fire the ovens, thus replacing fossil fuels in the manufacturing process.

Sorry I don't have the chops to work out if that's economically feasible.
The AirBnB case is a little different because anyone can rent an AirBnB (so maybe, at the very least, they can't, and maybe don't, give such low ball offers), but in the Uber case, they know they probably have the driver by the balls. They have a lot of info on the driver that they can probably get a rough idea of their socioeconomic status. Even in general, without a car, an Uber driver has no way to make money. Uber drivers likely can't afford legal representation in the first place. Of course, in general, they'll feel powerless to do anything but sign the NDA and take the check. I do hope this driver gets proper compensation for what happened on the job and can set a good precedent for other drivers.
The Ebay CEO was fired (or asked to resign, I don't remember), which are the same consequences that Brack has faced so far. Also, from what I can tell they are both facing civil lawsuits, not criminal, although one is being brought by the government and the other by the victims.

So at this point they both appear to held accountable to the same degree, whether that is sufficient or not.
Not to mention the fact that the upper income deciles are the ones writing the UBI checks...
In the USA, the military industrial complex, beyond the defense aspect, fulfills similar roles which subventions/economic policies fulfill in other nations. They direct tax money back into the local economy. This isn't even a bad thing as it strengthens social cohesion. The defense contractors want to eat out, buy cars, etc.
