OP is speaking hypothetically- the question is perfectly valid and asks for which of the scenarios are okay.

Extending the example, “if a company A (eg. Marlboro) pays you a salary X to do your fucking job Y ( make cigarettes more addictive) and if you use that money and time on activities Z(whistleblowing, protesting, etc), especially if it negatively affects company A's image / revenues, why shouldn't the company be allowed to fire

I think people feel strongly about certain issues. That doesn’t imply that what they are doing is inherently wrong if driven by those core sentiments. How about we empathize- We can respect both Google’s and the employees’ action without choosing sides.

Good for them...

But my first thought before clicking was- please don't be ad/marketing/SEO biz.

I can't upvote this enough.

I am going through this course- and it is fabulous. Covers tests, and even though the topic names might seem easy or trivial(I mean there is only so many ways you can write loops or define arrays), they include a lot of "extras" that make it fun- for example one of the topics might include details about how to write doctests and docs, another one might introduce table driven tests and provide advice on when to use them. Overall it is great.

I'd be very interested in seeing this approach applied to other language courses.

I don't think OP wants a project to accept anything "less-good". It's just a post asking to be respectful to the contributor. Attack the idea(in a civilized manner) - not the person.

Something I do to mitigate this problem is take a screenshot of the barcode and store it in keepass - along with the password. So next time I change phones- I just scan the codes back and I am back on track with the TOTP.

> I thought we were trying to stop people writing their passwords down and storing them next to their computer?

Yes- but I guess it's okay to use password managers anyway. And they make it easy to store screenshots and stuff as attachments.
