And if she didn't get murdered, she could have been charged for murder for having a miscarriage.

YouTube/Google and hiding data from the end-user, name a better duo.
Correct, and this sounds like it's crossing state lines which means it's federal jurisdiction.
I'd say skip local PD and go above them, if they're crossing state lines that means it goes into federal jurisdiction. Also more likely for it to be taken seriously.
UX is very difficult, unfortunately, especially for open-source projects where the contributors are usually programmers and not so much UX/product managers.
I think I've probably only ever been blacklisted once in my entire career, and it's because I looked up the reviews of a company I applied to and they had some very concerning stuff so I just ghosted them completely and never answered their calls after we had already begun to play a bit of phone tag prior to that trying to arrange an interview.
In my defense, they took a good while to reply to my application and they never sent any emails just phone calls, which it's like, come on I'm a developer you know I don't want to sit on the phone all day like I'm a sales person or something, send an email to schedule an interview like every other company instead of just spamming phone calls lol
Agreed though, eventually they will forget, it just needs enough time, and maybe you'd not even want to work there.
Sounds like you're doing well then. I do the same with contributing to FOSS (and I maintain a couple FOSS projects) and I teach younger devs at work, and have a blog (technically two), so I'm in the same boat.
I'm not so sure, I bet some (or most?) of them are racist too. I'm sure they play it up, but do you really think they are all that accepting of people of color?
Not on the civilian population, other than pagers blowing up in public?
Right, because pagers blowing up in public is not indiscriminate.
Blacklists are heavily overrated and exaggerated, I'd say there's no chance you're on a blacklist. Hell, if you interview with them 3 years later, it's entirely possible they have no clue who you are and end up hiring you - I've had literally that exact scenario happen. Tons of companies allow you to re-apply within 6 months of interviewing, let alone 12 months or longer.
The only way you'd end up on a blacklist is if you accidentally step on the owners dog during the interview or something like that.
I'm pretty sure they laid off a lot of their QA team before and didn't replace them since then.
