It would not be wrongful termination since he was not fired, he resigned. Instead it could very well be constructive discharge
In the United States, constructive discharge has differing meanings depending on the jurisdiction. In California, the California Supreme Court defines constructive discharge as follows:
"In order to establish a constructive discharge, an employee must plead and prove, by the usual preponderance of the evidence standard, that the employer either intentionally created or knowingly permitted working conditions that were so intolerable or aggravated at the time of the employee's resignation that a reasonable employer would realize that a reasonable person in the employee's position would be compelled to resign."
What I meant is that you said that people winning the lottery or the jackpot "did nothing to earn the money" which is absolutely not correct: these people paid to earn the chance of winning. Risking your own money to earn the chance of a win is definately not "doing nothing". Getting money doing nothing is more similar to receiving a gift.
Anyway I agree that earned or unearned income should not make any difference.
If you do nothing to earn something you get you don't win the lottery, you receive a gift. By your reasoning inheritance taxes should be taxed exactly the same way a gift is... which is ironic since gift taxation in the USA was introduced to avoid estate tax avoidance...
Seriously, what the fuck difference does it make what sex, race or religion you are to be in IT??!?!
Well, "talent crisis" usually means "talented workers cost too much, we have to find a cheaper source of them". Women do tend to get lower salaries than men...
Make graduating accordingly hard so that only the best graduate and only the expected number. This way the barrier of entry is not based on wealth but based on merit.
Because he expects the community to agree with him. Karma should reflect what the community thinks of his activity, not what the site's admin thinks, so it should be possible to have positive karma on this site even posting negative comments about it, as long as the community supports them.
So either the admin tampered with his karma against the community's intentions, or the community is not as impressed with his activity as he thinks.
Slashdot doens't write original articles, it mainly refers to already existings public articles/blogposts. The site is interesting mainly for the comments section which depends on the community and communities are extremely volatile. Of course you can try to introduce subscriptions/paywalls/whatever, but you have to make sure you don't alienate too much people since if slashdot loses its community nothing much of value would remain.
If in your country it's actually allowed to conduct this kind of surveillance without the consent of the worker you have worse problems that fancy badges.
Yours is good advice but if the road conditions are actually bad it could very well not be enough. In some road conditions winter tires and/or snow chains are simply not an option.
You don't buy new tires every winter, you just keep them and swap them with your normal tires every year. This also means that you will distribute the wear on the 2 set of tires, making the normal tires last longer.
Winter tires are advised even if there is no snow since they provide a far superior performance in low temperature conditions. Not sure about the climate in Oklahoma, but if you have many months with temperatures falling under about 7C/45F you should switch tires in the winter.
Well, more or less. People living in a city here expect to have at least a grocery store and a public transport stop within walking distance, making this information almost mandatory in all housing offers advertisements. I recently relocated to a different city and the greatest distance I found in the various offers I evaluated was 500 meters.
Grocery stores actually have to place the stores strategically since customers want to be able to get there walking and tend not to be too loyal to a given chain, so if you are significantly farther away compared to your competitors you lose customers. In my neighborhood alone there are at least a dozen grocery stores, half of them belonging to the same 2 big players.
People here are used to own a trolley which they bring to the store. You can leave it just outside the cashier lines in a dedicated area made available by the shop (and secure it with a lock if you want, but most don't bother). Do your shopping, pay and load it in your trolley, drag it home.
Most of the cost comes from the appeal process, which is long and expensive because you *have* to minimize mistakes. Make it quick and you have a higher error rate, which means more innocents will be wrongfully executed.
He can also be released, reformed, contributing to a better society. Or released after found to be actually not guilty. Capital punishment is the typical solution to the complex problem which is quick, simple, and wrong.
The point is about the emphasis which is given to the fetus being a victim. Many are perfectly fine in considering a fetus a disposable nuisance as long as it's the mother herself wanting it dead. Instead in this case they are acting as if it's considered a... human being!
As a society you are actually *less* humane. If you want to be more humane stop executing criminals: there are better, more effective, cheaper and *more humane* solutions.
You assume that these manager are not being more competent/cautious but the provided statistics are not enough to infer that.
Some lower-raking workers might have to send out sensitive informations only sporadically or even not allowed to send out sensitive information at all while a manager might have to send out sensitive information on a daily basis. This means that the manager will make much more errors than the lower-raking worker even if they are equally competent/cautious and maybe even if he is actually more competent/cautious.
With 99$ you can buy full-coated single-correction lenses with "entry-level" refractive index, but if you want a very high RI material the price can rise easily to 300$ or more. You can go with the cheaper material, but above a certain correction the lenses become very thick and heavy which makes a high RI material *much* more desiderable.
In my case, I have around -9.00 myopia so I wear my glasses all day. I bought the highest RI material available which made the lenses *much* thinner and lighter, but very expensive... At this level of myopia you also have to chose a frame requiring a small enough cut, since concave lenses grow larger and larger the farther from the center.
It actually works that way because at the core it's the same issue: the insurance wants to reduce claim costs by enforcing/incentiving behaviour which prevents the claim to happen at all or reduce its magnitude. The difference is in the way it's done: you might get a discount on the premium e.g. if you do extra checks or maintenance or keep a low mileage, or get your claim paid only if you have proof that you did the due maintenance correctly.
Car insurance is less expensive simply because the insured risks are much cheaper than in health insurance.

You can verify the source of the original accusation. With the lack of any evidence to the contrary you have to accept it as the truth.
By which crazy logic? Knowing the source of the accusation doesn't make it automatically "true until proved false".
You just need another abstraction layer...
I don't want a Java app anywhere near my financial information.
Why?

Skill and experience are of course very important but I guarantee you that driving on snow with winter tires vs normal tires makes a huge difference.
Winter tires are advised even if there is no snow since they provide a far superior performance in low temperature conditions. Not sure about the climate in Oklahoma, but if you have many months with temperatures falling under about 7C/45F you should switch tires in the winter.
