I suspect they will still be available on TPB and friends

Women get pregnant more than men, but get charged the same medical insurance rates. Women take maternity leave more than men, but legally you cannot pay women less. How come in scenarios where women cost more, it is mandated that men and women must pay the same, but not in cases where men cost more?

A male pretending to be a female has an edge over males,females and females pretending to be male when applying for jobs.. Atleast in an unscientific study by interviewing.io

How is it splitting the difference when the choices are

1) men pay more

or

2) men and women pay the same

?

Usually its considered OK to discriminate against a historically privileged class...

> And given the city's population and usage of plastic, the chokes are quite severe during the monsoon (rainy season) when it rains heavily

Didnt the city even flood 2-3 days after the ban, when the govt was in full enforcement mode?

> In that point of view, it seems a rather unfair complaint

Regulations arent necessarily designed to be "fair" though.. if GDPR is written in a way that manufacturers need to recall all stock and update phones, its cost is part of GDPR compliance and a fair tradeoff for its benefits as per EU citizens

Why even support EU users though with all the GDPR overhead? Unless you are a multinational who doesnt care about GDPR overheads, best not to target the EU market isnt it?

Why doesnt EU instead implement a continent wide firewall and allow access to only GDPR compliant sites

There are a bunch of subsidies\welfare programs available for female children alone... Its much cheaper to raise a female child than to raise a male child, and dowry is no longer mandatory, it largely comes into play when you're trying to marry up (like say the groom earns 5-10x the wife's salary)

These countries seem so easy compared to US where it can take 20+ years for a residency if you're from India, and you need to live on annual visa renewals until that time

So, basically eBay with buzzwords?

>While I acknowledge it's not a totally fair comparison, I find it interesting that you could replace "55" with "90+" and "Amazon blue collar workers" with "Lower level financiers and consultants on Wall Street" and get probably the same statistics. Maybe even true for some spaces in tech/entrepreneurship.

I believe the difference is, the wall street guys are in it voluntarily (they could probably take up a lower paying white collar job and still survive), and have a massive reward to look forward to after spending a few years there. While the warehouse workers are picking between unemployment\hunger and working in Amazon warehouses.

Netflix does this too

But 9 women can give birth to one baby per month on average

> given that it's not just the U.S. that doesn't want new members in the nuclear club, but the entire world, including NATO and the UN

Everyone, as per the comment I replied to

> It's that our political system and domestic behavior, however dysfunctional, is still more stable, and we have some experience holding onto nukes without using them, having muddled our way (luckily) through the Cold War

Isnt US the only country to have used multiple nuclear bombs in a real war, but still allowed to keep them?

>Why can America get Npower and nukes but SA can't?

Mostly cause America got Nukes first

So, this is somewhat misleading (or I didnt read the full thing)

* Uber already allows you to pay by cash or use a credit card and put in the OTP after your trip

* The PayTM concept is largely due to a discrepancy in regulations, money can be debited from my PayTM account w/o an OTP, but my credit card cannot be charged without an OTP due to regulations

> e-mail taking a week or more to make it across the Atlantic

Any reading material behind this? Really interesting, would like to read up on what caused such a delay

> In the Governet you'd still be censored

Only for stuff that would be illegal in offline life as well... anything that you're allowed to do in offline life, under whatever extent of freedom of expression is permitted by your country would still be uncensored.

They should consider partitioning the internet into 2 parts:

1) Public access internet, where everything is regulated by the hosting company

2) Restricted access internet where everything uploaded in linked to a real life ID and the uploader has liability for whatever is uploaded. Access would be granted after a basic licensing test, but hosting companies would not be required to police the content

This way, media companies can easily regulate the mass market internet to keep pirated content off of it, and the restricted access network would have a link to the uploader with personal liability, so people are not likely to upload pirated stuff anyways. In exchange, they arent harassed in the name of anti piracy

90% of the time, all you need :)

>Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, and shall also have the right to refrain from any or all of such activities except to the extent that such right may be affected by an agreement requiring membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment as authorized in section 8(a)(3) [section 158(a)(3) of this title].

Unless I'm reading this wrong, it means that employers have no ability to stop their employees from forming a union, to fire them for forming a union and to hire non union employees without the unions approval. I can understand such regulations in socialist countries like India (where other than IT, most industries do have strong unions, with legal and politican support). However it seems to be against the image US projects

They support equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity

>You can seek diversity in step 1 and be completely merit-based on step 2.

What are your feelings on blocking all non diverse applications in step one and allowing only diversity candidates to proceed to step 2?

Interesting.. thanks

I didnt realize employment was so heavily regulated in US

Shouldnt employers have the right to refuse to negotiate with a union and instead hire non union employees if any are available?

> there is nothing stopping the free market from abusing or killing people if the incentives align that way. If we decide we are better than that as a society, regulation is needed

Well, thats true. Any "thing" stopping the free market from abusing\killing people is a form of regulation. Just like you're not allowed to auction off your own organs, or collect and auction organs of others to pay off debts.In a "free market", you would have the ability to market your body too.

> It is already almost impossible to survive on minimum wage in many parts of the country

Do you feel people should consider this while having children? If you're poor, most of the time your kids will grow up poor\min wage as well. Should you have kids?

These guys tried it out, I'll leave the interpretation of the conclusion to the reader

http://blog.interviewing.io/we-built-voice-modulation-to-mas...

(yes, its inconclusive, but)

> for technical ability, it appeared that men who were modulated to sound like women did a bit better than unmodulated men and that women who were modulated to sound like men did a bit worse than unmodulated women. Though these trends weren’t statistically significant, I am mentioning them because they were unexpected and definitely something to watch for as we collect more data.
