Shortened buzzfeed’s title. I’m glad a group did this. San Franciscans failed to get Columbus in the water on Juneteenth because the city of San Francisco took the statue down after the nose had already been cut off the morning before protestors were going to.
I think so, except when it’s a position that does actually require one to be in a lab or manufacturing plant or similar. It will take a lawsuit to actually establish this but I imagine a law firm would take a case like this on contingency against a big company.
Agree, it all comes down to whether offering remote options is considered "reasonable accomodations". This would probably be considered reasonable if the company has the infrastructure or could easily afford it. Small companies may not be required to provide this option if they don't have the infrastructure and can't easily afford it.
I guess the legality is questionable (I'm definitely not a lawyer!) but mostly talking about the honesty of the company. Many startups today have a semi-standard "equally opportunity employer" but still have mostly on-site job postings for positions that 100% can be done remote (e.g. SW engineering).
This post has been killed and unkilled, downweighted by flagging and then unweighted by mods, then after a front page surge now downweighted because it has more comments than points.
Yeah Lesswrong has gotten good again; the coronavirus discussion has stood out. They don’t really do politics but as an old user one could probably force a discussion through.
A lot of less lethal crowd control is about imagery and perception. Water can’t be used on crowds in America because it was used against crowds in the civil rights era so comes with a historic connotation of racism even though in reality it’s safer and more reasonable than CS gas.
...eh it took two dead versions of this story and multiple emails to the mods for this to get unkilled and it’s still weighted off of the front page. So it took serious effort and intention to front page a story over the power of flag mods and because of weighting still barely got the discussion deserved. I think a lot of people just must defacto flag things that aren’t about software or business?
I would come back here more regularly if I knew that actual huge news would be regularly discussed here, or if I thought interesting articles not about coding had much of a shot.
As good writing about CHAZ keeps happening or the situation evolves I’ll continue trying submissions.
