In some states if you get into a fight and kick the person in the stomach your crime can go from assault to attempted murder. Just saying you didn’t know won’t get you out of those consequences. So why should it apply here?

you couldn’t fire a woman for being attracted to women, if a man is also attracted to women and still maintains his job—that’s a case of sex discrimination, and thus, LGBTQ workers are entitled to protections.

AFAIK, tax evasion requires a willfull effort to prevent the IRS from getting at your money. Not simply failing/forgetting to disclose income. If there had been no attempt at hiding that income, it isn’t actually tax evasion.

Wonder where Mr. Arnold made the phone calls from. If it’s California, he’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.

Counterpoint:

I think he’s saying Vlad looks more Cullen and less Nosferatu.

True, but it may be able to pay for the plane ticket & housing to bring their families out of Nigeria.

I’m not sure I agree. There is much less incentive for people still happily playing their old no longer supported MMO to try (and pay for) a companies new fancy MMO. Some fraction of people still happily playing the old game are people who would be spending money playing the new game if the old game didn’t exist. Cost…

I assume it has to do with that pesky ruling about only being able to detain children for 20 days. (Which is presumably insufficient time to process them.) The whole reason gitmo was used for terrorists was to avoid pesky laws about detaining them. Presumably the same loophole holds true for the children, much like…

Throwing more people at a problem doesn’t necessarily make it faster. A substantial part of the problem is that the vast majority of the asylum claims are invalid and will be denied. But the appeals process for that denial simply takes a lot of time.

The sad thing is I totally see the train of thought that led to that as an option... which is pretty much the same train of thought that led to it being used to house alleged terrorists in the first place.

SO, TLDR:

So, we should pay all living freed slaves commensurate wages? Or if some ancestor was forced to work without pay, we give reparations now? How far back do we go with this, anybody whose parents were serfs should be given reparations from the countries in which their ancestors were serfs?

To be fair, they aren’t conceding that they didn’t let her eat with them, or made her sleep on the floor, or called her slave/dog/worthless. Only that they didn’t pay her.

I’m always disappointed when somebody takes a picture of something like this and doesn’t pretend like they’re taking a bite out of the shark so they can label it:

Maybe. If my experience is anything to go by, they’re likely being well paid. They *could* work less (likely at other studios) but they wouldn’t make as much money. Which isn’t really a “problem” (if such it is) that Unions address.

But as you point out, automated cars will have far faster reaction times than even the best human, and thus won’t NEED to be nearly as good at prediction. An AI may not *need* to avoid the wind gust, as it may be able to react fast enough to simply handle the changing forces as they affect the vehicle.

1. How so? The two sentences are “cars are better than humans already” and “Cars are still improving”.
