This is a good move, especially with the emergence of OpenAI/ChatGPT which makes the "data is more valuable than oil" statement increasingly accurate. Individuals should be in control of data they publish online, whether it i

FEHA covers this. Between the two, consumers and employees are already protected.

Caste discrimination is not limited to the Indian population. As a matter of fact, ancestral caste is not a concept introduced by Hinduism or Indian culture (look up "varna", which is native to Hinduism and is not necessarily as

I think the fear is that sb403 would have ended up with a lot of allegations of caste discrimination when there was none, specifically in situations where bitter employees are upset about not being promoted (for example) and are desperate t

It is accounted for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unruh_Civil_Rights_Act "...the unlawful discrimination is in part based on a person's sex, race, color, religion, * ancestry* ..."

In this case this is a legitimate problem. There are many apartments where the density of units and/or layout of windows is such that "peering in" is possible. Delivery companies need to adjust their policies to protect priva

My mistake - yes this makes sense. If they install an EV charger at every single gas station that would be fantastic.

Doesn't this mean that everyone who owns a gas car right now needs to by an EV by 2035? Not everyone can afford EVs - so how would this work? Also, EV charging infrastructure is way behind gas. I can fill up gasoline anywhere but there

They record video? I though they just take a photo of the package that they dropped off at your doorstep.

I do, but I'm wondering, how far can SB403 go before you start bumping into 1st Amendment issues? 1. If a bunch of co-workers who are vegetarian due to their ancestry choose to exclude me from lunches because I want to eat meat, can I

Homesickness is also possible here. For those that have lived in California for over 10 years, you can get very attached to this state even given its high costs and other problems. There is a lot of diversity, good restaurants, good weather

To my knowledge, the only caste discrimination case in CA history is the "Cisco" case. It was dismissed with prejudice.

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. Can you describe a specific incident in your employment history where you were fired from a job or denied a promotion due to your caste or ancestry? You should be able to sue for this right now (even before SB4

The new law that is being passed will not solve your personal issues with socializing. The law is designed to protect you from unfair discrimination by your employer, i.e. being fired due to your caste.

This California law from 1959 already bans discrimination by ancestry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unruh_Civil_Rights_Act From a legal perspective, is a new law even necessary? Isn't it legally redundant?

Here's are some video clips of the head of Equality Labs, who is shown in the picture featured in this article. She claims that Nazis in Germany were actually Hindus, as support for her point of view. https://youtu.be/s

CS61A was great when they taught via LISP (Scheme). Have they switched to Python? Probably still good but would be nice to have LISP.
