"EU tech sector fights to have an EU judge reset the scoreboard to zero after decades of losing the game against Microsoft"

A tax haven is a nation with low to no taxes, where foreigners can operate for tax purposes. The term you are looking for, and almost had, was "tax avoidance". Tax avoidance is perfectly legal. It is tax evasion that is illegal.

Now imagine he was offered 6 months pay to not show up ever again!

And you just presumed everyone on that list was in the "down" group. Why?

You might want a little self-reflection about that last sentence and how it paints you as precisely the sort of person that others are rightfully worried about.

There are more important things than money. Having your name dragged through the mud, having people presume you are a disgusting sexist before they have even met you, these are things that can destroy a person regardless of their wealth.

Comments do not fall on a spectrum between "absolutely sexist" and "absolutely not sexist". Comments exist as fixed points in space, and the observers fall on a spectrum of "absolutely going to call the comment sexist" and "absolutely going to call the comment not sexist". The men who are "clamming up" are judging the audience of their comments and deciding that the potential costs of honesty are just too high compared to the benefits. They know that they will no longer get the benefit of the doubt and that they will be convicted without trial. If the punishment for traffic infringements was death and you were immediately judged, convicted and executed by the police officer on the scene, there will be a large number of people who would simply stop driving.

The problem being highlighted here isn't bad communicators. The problem is good communicators being incentivized out of communicating. It says something about you that you could not comprehend something that obvious.

Imagine if the person in charge of AI Ethics converted to a fundamentalist Christian sect. Their ethics changed and now they think LGBT people should be discriminated against explicitly. Nobody supporting Margaret Mitchell would be defending this new convert's application of the personal ethics in their job. That proves this is merely a convenient argument on their part, not a principled one.

Yes, ethics is agnostic to one's personal convictions when it is your job. Same as how defense lawyers leave their personal sense of justice out of their jobs. Same as how sports referees don't let their childhood fandom of a particular team affect their calls. Same as how actors will be physically intimate with people the opposite of the sexual preference.

Compare that to the economy Germany could have had.

Not really. Unions often operate as guilds, restricting access to potential employees and restricting the trade of members.

No, people will read it as a variation on jupyter, as intended, and jupyter is pronounced (by pretty much everybody) as jupiter.

So Jupystar is pronounced like Jupistar.

Jupis, like lupis.

People try to be too clever with these portmanteaus, and end up with either something unfortunate or unpronouncable.

Jupyter is pronounced like Jupiter.

Jupystar must therefore be pronounced like Jupistar.

I think a name change might be in order.

This project is called Jew Piss Star.

Sorry, but you can't unhear it.
