Factories often have required overtime policies (especially when understaffed), though the employees are compensated at the time-and-a-half wage rate.

So collectible cards were challenged as gambling, but unfortunately the case ended prematurely due to a separate issue before any legal precedent could be enshrined to determine whether they counted as gambling.

Naw, not remotely close.

Is the fan speed constant while it’s on?

The makeup and hair in the trailer makes a pretty significant difference. They don’t exactly the same, but it’s about as close as any biopic gets (with the exception of Straight Outta Compton, where his son was the actor).

Exhaustion.

One note regarding arbitration: the one arena where that can be useful (especially as an option) is when the company and its employees are operating in different countries. Laws around harassment and similar violations vary wildly globally, and even though the arbitration is going to be in the company’s pocket, it…

Isn’t Skywalker a generic enslaved surname though? I got the impression that it wasn’t particularly rare.

My guess is that this will be Daredevil in the “sacred timeline,” while the Netflixverse will just be canon in some other shard of the multiverse.

Considering the frequency with which these domestic terrorists die on the scene, often by their own hand, I don’t think the death penalty would act as a deterrent.

Mandatory paternity leave is good both for families and for maintaining a level playing field.

Messiah *is* the second book.

I think there’s a nugget of truth there, in that black market types seem to use BTC solely as a transaction medium rather than an investment. The day-to-day shifts in the BTC price would matter, but the medium or long-term trends wouldn’t, since their BTC would be converted to actual currency with more regularity.

Yeah, the NFT bros are so far up their own butts that they can’t just see blockchain as what it is: a database alternative that could be a better fit for certain use cases.

I’m not sure the “beyond a reasonable doubt” threshold applies the same to a civil trial.

To be clear, I want NFTs and blockchain-based currencies to disappear.

Apparently the global shipping industry has started using a blockchain-based setup called GSBN as a tool for handling a lot of logistics and recordkeeping.

The “permatemp” contractor-hiring system is a fundamental problem in many industries at the moment. Staffing vital positions with “temporary” employees shields the employer from a number of legal responsibilities, and it allows company leadership to stay blissfully ignorant of how those workers are treated.

For folks looking for a good GRRM alternative, I recommend the Dandelion Dynasty series by Ken Liu, which starts with “The Grace of Kings.”
