From a US perspective, it's common for our top politicians, when talking about a problem, to present a specific proposal for legislation they would use to fix the problem. It makes their words more credible to me. It is easy to complain that things are bad, harder to describe in detail how things could be better. To be cynical, these plans are written by staffers and the politician may just memorize the key points. But it at least demonstrates there is some commitment to the issue.
Well, they make everyone sign the papers, and they frequently polygraph. It's risky to get a clearance if you are breaking the rules. You'd have to keep your story straight, and have the ability to defeat test anxiety. Maybe that's a good process if you are trying to find a good spy. Not very good for recruiting a hacker.
I hear they bend the rules for extraordinary candidates - maybe that applies to all hackers these days.
There are people who take multiple busses with a travel time of over an hour to commute less than ten miles. Peole who can't afford a car and/or don't have a valid license. If an uberpool costs five dollars, it can be a viable option for these workers and significantly raise their quality of life.
I'm not sure why, after seeing dozens of different surveys with different numbers, you would somehow come to the conclusion that that one is correct, without expressing any uncertainty.
Even if most people there support gay rights, many men can still be closeted.
TLDR: responses vary widely depending on the survey method used. IMO, the higher numbers are more believable because there are subjectively tons of skittish gay dudes.
So the EU will not allow Austria to pass, for example, a tax on internet advertising in Austria (in the article the Chancellor complains that Facebook and Google don't pay advertising duty in Austria)?
>Mr Kern, who heads Austria's Social Democrats and the country's coalition government, also said Facebook and Google had sales of more than 100m euros each in Austria.
I'm not an expert on Austria but this suggests to me that this person can propose and possibly pass laws in Austria. He is not just an activist who only has the power to give interviews to BBC. If he thinks that Amazon and Starbucks are not paying enough tax to Austria, why doesn't he change Austrian law to charge them more tax? Don't give me some bullshit about how corporate lawyers will find loopholes - you run the government! Do your job! Change the law! Or at least make a show of trying.
