The problem is Muslims are like Jews. It's both a religious and ethnic group and the distinction between who is a 'true believer', figuring out who is an ethnic Muslim and which of the various sects they adhere to is hard. Most Muslims (80%) indeed believe in some form of Sharia or Jihad, but that means there are still ~200M of them that don't.
Christianity has the same problem, ~10% of their membership is more than willing to commit murder when their pastor tells them so - just look at Jehovah's Witnesses, LDS (Mormons) and Christian Scientists, more than willing to sacrifice themselves and their children physically, emotionally and sexually to their leaders. Most 'believing' Christians actively make excuses when they quote scripture instead of condemning the belief system in the first place.
You don't even need a gun, you just need a aluminum receiver from something like an AK - you don't need a license, it's super lightweight yet it's considered a 'weapon' for TSA/FAA purposes and thus gets all the tags and treatment a gun gets.
Within 5 years they'll find themselves asking why nobody is on their platform, where all the advertisers are without noticing all the content is based around the same set of circle-jerks.
Being offended just means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than yours.
Couldn't the other reason for rejection, besides racism, be risk assessment? Black people pay more for car insurance as well, Asians pay the least amount purely for statistical reasons. If companies are allowed to make those 'choices' (simple algorithms really) simply based on credit scores and criminal records, why aren't individuals?
Ideally, with a competent and completely free market, the asshats will be filtered out by their competition. On the other hand we need to protect true minorities (e.g. The Disabled) from the majority rule over the market.
Things like airBNB let you make a home that's not prepared for a hotel act as a hotel.
There is a significant cost associated with allowing everyone to stay at your place. There is maintenance, cleanup, theft prevention and a number of accessibility issues that are neither cheap nor universally applicable. Just because you have a wheelchair ramp does not mean Stephen Hawking can stay at your place. A hotel needs designated parking spots, handrails everywhere (bathrooms, entrances, elevators), proper emergency access/egress, sufficient bathroom space, Braille signs, which way the door swings is significant etc and still not all rooms are accessible for every disability.
The other problem with ADA compliance is that if there is just one feature that isn't up to code for the person you accepted to rent, even if this is your personal home you're renting out, you instantly lose the inevitable lawsuit.
The funny thing with all these statistics is that these particular groups of people are discriminated against within their own minority groups. The question regards these statistics is thus whether people are actively discriminating (they forgo an opportunity) or simply showing preference towards a particular group of people.
Not quite how it works, it's a civil case so the proof doesn't have to be nearly as strong and as a company you have to prove that you have the proper guidelines and training AND that you have investigated every single complaint thoroughly AND that you tried to make the situation better for the complainant.
There seems to be little impact as it is from the accords, perhaps the only actionable thing in it is unwritten interpretation of it.
It is supposed to go into effect in 2020 (well after Obama knew he wasn't going to be holding the ball) and agrees to reduce global temperature to pre-industrial levels within a 2 degree margin (aka: no change).
To do this, it will tax the richer nations that use carbon fuel and funnel that money to other nations that do implement "renewable" sources (aka EU) so they can give out their credits to the poor nations to... buy carbon fuel.
The problem is that nobody actually wants to make payments or owe credits to anyone, the US no longer wants to uphold the failing EU states, especially now that the richest of them are talking about exiting, even the EU no longer wants to keep its poorest economies up (e.g. Greece and Portugal).
King copywrites mostly airport novels, not many of his works are masterpieces (actually can't think of any). They don't adapt well to films because the story lines are cheesy, predictable, boring crap.
Automation is only possible in places where we've gone before and we know the details of each and every step to get from place A to place B. Robots, although not quite as squishy as humans don't do really well in exploration simply because they have no autonomy and we can only do what we've done with them before, there is nothing innovative about robots collecting dust and taking pictures on the moon.
I am not talking about differing standards. If anything, we need to converge on standards while diverging on implementations. It brings both job and systems security, what is the cost of mixing too much chemicals in the water supply? Even if it's not toxic, how many millions would it cost if a particular combination accelerates corrosion?
Let's say an investor comes in or an entity takes over the company and lays of 50% of the workforce - now it's a liability just like the pensions and this can impact your investment or credit worthiness which is why accountants usually include these types of things under liabilities. For most companies/positions your PTO falls under the category of "unpaid wages".
The base of any system security is not to rely on a monoculture. If all your systems run on Windows using the same hardware, software and firmware version which the creators have long abandoned.
Require that critical systems are modifiable by the end user and can be carried from platform to platform, it's the government after all, they can set the laws and reject any contract from entities that are either too large or don't want to adhere to basic rules of security and risk management.
I understand that you're billing a particular account a certain amount of hours worked on a project, but then you're basically talking about contractors. Contractors do work by the hour and get paid for the hours they put in, they are effectively hourly workers. Being paid a salary just means your contracting company can ask you to do unpaid overtime while still paying the client (been there, done that, a few month I did stints for TekSystems and Ajilon - they wanted me to travel for hours, stay at hotels but didn't cover the travel time between sites or working from home as paid hours)
When I am working on a contract, I either charge by the hour or by the project (largely depends on the client) - if I work by the hour, I don't consider myself being 'salaried' because the wages I get is directly correlated to the hours I put in, if I work by the project or under some form of "availability", I would consider myself salaried because the wages aren't correlated to the hours.
Then you're just an hourly employee. If you track hours, and get paid by the hours that you work, you're an hourly worker, not salaried.
Sure you can accept a deal like that (at least in the US) but I wouldn't want to. If you need me to be there from 8-5, take lunch at noon and punch in and out, you're an hourly worker that got suckered into not getting overtime pay.
No need, the Chinese governments has enough informants. They gave up to $70k cash to citizens that inform the government about US spying within their country and in a few years they got 20 CIA operatives killed.
It's also clearly evident when someone is spying on you and selling data online, this sort of thing would effectively remove any targeted advertising in China, and without targeted advertising, the data is worthless.
If an AI composes a song, since it is transforming existing data through a neural network (not conscious "artistic creation") , it by definition did not create anything new. It's just a random number generator.
It's a liability in a way that pensions and loans are liabilities.
When you buy/sell/bankrupt the company it adds/subtracts to the total value of assets and debt of the company and they may even put constraints on current or future owners.
In that case it is a liability in that unused PTO remains a debt (or liability) until it is paid to the employee.
If you have x amount of debt on the books and you have to disclose it to get a loan, the bank may make credit decisions based on that. If you have $1M stacked up in "debt" to your employees it becomes significant.
The economy is what you make it, UBI devalues money and has no long term solution for automation in jobs. If you reward exploration and art similar to how you reward menial jobs right now, you still have an economy.
Any salaried position has by definition unlimited time off. You get x number of days guaranteed/paid time off but since you're exempt from reporting your worked hours, you can take off whenever you want. Obviously they probably still want you to complete your job. I only use my vacation hours when I actually want guaranteed vacation (as in: don't call me; don't email me I'll carry a laptop in the pool if you make me)
China has a very easy way: play ball or don't do business here. They understand that whatever you're offering, someone else is more than willing to fill the gap, there is no such thing as a company they can't survive without.

You know you can wipe those machines pretty effectively these days. No need to trash anything. Just rent your computer, wipe it before your return it.
So how much would they have to pay YOU not to take a multi-thousand dollar item once a day ($1M salaries for luggage handlers?)
You don't even need a gun, you just need a aluminum receiver from something like an AK - you don't need a license, it's super lightweight yet it's considered a 'weapon' for TSA/FAA purposes and thus gets all the tags and treatment a gun gets.
It's assumed that exploits like these are facilitated by Microsoft. SMB is the protocol, Samba is the daemon. It's talking about SMB on Windows.
