It's quite sad that most of them are traffic/ad optimization/analysis companies. Clicking on the link I was hoping for a nifty list of tools that benefit various (web-connected) industries.

It seems odd to me that they would make such move in the first place without proper legal analysis. Especially, given that it's fintech which already is quite tightly regulated and Robinhood has been in the stock game for a while as well. Or was it just "the magical ampersand" as the article suggests and hope that they would slide under the radar.

Fully-fledged DnD session in Minecraft anyone?

I don't think it's really feasible, for the reasons you mentioned, among others. Nevertheless, there are countries which try to govern (or at least suggest) the min-max salaries that you can expect given your profession/experience/skill, e.g. Germany.

Like many people replying to the OP, I'd like to see some data that looks at it from different perspectives, tho, instead of just picking a side and arguing for it - "there's a wage-gap" vs "look, there actually isn't".

__If__ it's really a problem, the only way to actually fix this would be to remove any kind of negotation, because two people with identical CVs might settle on vastly different salaries and it's highly unlikely that the employer is going to overcompensate them. However, I've heard people argue that a right to ask for a lower pay is also an advantage in labour market because it's yet another axis of competitiveness.

I don't get what "Browser Publishers" have to do with Brave taking the web by storm. To me it seems obvious, that as soon as a new medium arises and gets at least some popularity, everyone who is interested in online advertising will spend some money on having a spot there as well. It's not related to the sheer awesomeness of the scheme/solution but rather having a chance of getting another pair of eyeballs somewhere.

Down in Helsinki, Finland as well. There are several tweets with outage maps already.
