The thought of any military being advanced due to Microsoft’s help made me giggle.
My opinion is that the best you can do is to hire people with a similar set of core values and there’s nothing wrong with everybody having their own ethical scale that they act upon accordingly.
- sneak 5y agoThe US military runs on Microsoft. The slides that Snowden leaked were PowerPoints.
- montblanc 5y agoIt also runs on Intel and probably gets some supplies from Europe. It's pretty insane to boycott any company that indirectly works with the U.S military.
- sneak 5y agoMicrosoft doesn't work indirectly. Neither does Amazon.

- tentacleuno 5y agoThey most likely run on Microsoft because almost everyone knows how to use the operating system.
- montblanc 5y ago> My opinion is that the best you can do is to hire people with a similar set of core values Not working with people who worked at Microsoft is a huge inflation of the concept "core values". There are terrific people who work for Microsoft who are far better than you or I (statistically it must be true), yet they are somehow not good enough to pass your "core values". Which are what exactly? Also - would you be as liberal for the opposite discrimination? Someone who thinks progressive politics should be banned in his company?
