Quill invoked the Commerce Clause because the United States is set up as a free trade zone. If the states could regulate interstate commerce, they would start engaging in tariff wars -- as they did under the Articles of Confederation. To say this is "judge-created" is to express some rather deep ignorance about the Founders' intentions.
You're assuming that they do identical work, with identical performance. Before you go any further, you'll need to provide proof that this is true.
This, frankly, is where Google's objections lie: how much would it cost to find those differences? How much to have outsiders vet them? Salary data is trivial to obtain, something I'm sure the plaintiffs are very aware of, and which animates a good bit of the sniping at Google on this thread. The difficulties lie in why they differ between the sexes. That gets into a host of issues the plaintiffs would likely rather ignore, things like women's preferences for more time off and flexible work hours.
The problem with "gaslighting", as I wrote here, is that it tends to be used in two contexts, one legitimate (people lying about factual events) and one illegitimate (people disagreeing on interpretations of those events). Based on what I'm reading here, it looks like some of both: the unscheduling in particular seems like a red flag, but a lot of the other stuff is contextual and missing details. Furthermore, the fact that the author complains about coworkers' criticisms — and in particular, the criticism of someone they label as a "superstar" within the company, i.e. a person who has developed a sterling reputation — leads me to question the submitter's competence. So, I would advise,
If you know from prior work experience that you are competent and the work environment is toxic, leave, knowing you can find a better employment situation elsewhere.
But also be open to the idea that you may have your own "crisis of competence" here.
if you believe all income belongs first to the state. All this is legal, and the whining that inevitably goes on after such transactions reflects the belief that the "fair share" of a corporation's income is less than whatever the speaker wants it to be.
Putdowns are endemic as a way to remind everyone that respect is in limited supply. ("This, incidentally, has probably been a major source of friction as women have moved into the workplace, and organizations have had to shift toward policies that everyone is entitled to respect. The men hadnâ(TM)t originally built them to respect everybody.")
Scott Greenfield adds some valuable additional commentary. The horror! He had to drop out of a "small private liberal arts college" and suffer the indignity of attending a public university. And this in an era when tuition was vastly lower than it is now.
I have a fair amount of sympathy for modern college students and graduates who are subsidizing a bonanza of administrators with no attendant benefit to themselves. But for Siegel to set himself up as one with such people is deeply deceitful. He wears his deadbeat status as a badge of honor.
I suspect you have a very high correction. My corrections are +1.50 and +1.75 or thereabouts, and I have had progressive lenses for years. They work fine without the problems you describe. My wife, however, has corrections of around +8.0 in both eyes and could never make a go of progressive lenses for the reasons you state. Eventually, she decided on Lasik surgery, which has unfortunately not really gone well -- we're over six months out from the initial surgery and she still needs glasses. She's one of the 1% or so for whom it does not work on the first try.
I would very much like to know the racial makeup of that list. Given it came from the police themselves, it certainly leads to questions about how such individuals end up on those lists.
Sorry, the MUST BE WHAT I WANT FOR HER panic among many groups -- including a disturbing number here -- is not going to change her preferences and aptitudes.
Maybe the handwaviest hand wave in the history of Slashdot. The author of the introductory text claims McDonald's didn't make the change in response to increasing minimum wage levels, but what is their evidence for this? Citing, for example, banks and ATMs is hardly convincing, because bank tellers are not minimum wage employees.
As others have mentioned, "creative problem solving" is not exactly a skill set that is developed in the military, but it is absolutely crucial to software development and IT generally.
"universal connection without universal consumption." Bwa. Seriously, you don't think you consume electricity at night? If so, then just go off grid. Air gap between you and the grid.
Pay solar at wholesale rates, or, make grid interconnect a separate fee, and charge them for that. Solar advocates, of course, can't stand the idea they should actually have to pay for the delivery of goods and services, even if it costs them a measely five bucks a month.
The newly adopted fee would translate into approximately $5 for the average homeowner with a solar power installation.
I would be willing to bet that the apportioned capital cost of power plants, maintenance, and distribution alone would amount to a third of a typical power bill.

We already know who the clown is, now we've got tents for this circus. Very good, Elon.

For instance, working to change the threshold of proof for rape to mere accusation. "Believe the victim", etc.

This might have been news in 2005. In 2017? Not so much.
How much in lab fees does a typical liberal arts major pay for?

That this still needs to be pointed out shows just how dangerous and naive the green left still is.

Get a sense of humor.
Is There Anything Good About Men?
Yeah, when did Slashdot become a craven press agent?
Famous for sockpuppeting his own online threads.

There just isn't enough lithium in the world to supply Tesla batteries to every US household, let alone the world.
Worrying about low-voltage appliances is delusional.

Good luck.

Yes, this.
I will say that it's probably true that "women are taught to" tropes are truer than "men are taught to" ones.

I can't think how that would possibly go wrong.

It's like saying, "prove it".
I await the first court cases showing harm caused by these fairy tales.
Externalities are a bill to which any amount may be assigned.

he means "make panicked decisions retarding business formation while entrenching early adopters".
