There's a survey done by Equality labs which is fundamental to this law and the one in Seattle city. Other scholars have argued[0] that this survey is flawed in many ways.
There was a case against Cisco systems for alleged caste-based discrimination, which also was often mentioned in such coverage in the past. It is noteworthy that the case was dropped. More details with legalese is here[1] and a piece by Hindu America Foundation (that opposes such bills) is here[2].
Not to say that caste is not an issue among Indians (in India), however using this survey as the ultimate truth and a source for creating laws does not seem wise.

> He wanted Aptos to have the universal appeal of the late NPR newscaster Carl Kasell and the astute tone of The Late Show host Stephen Colbert.
What is this even supposed to mean? In the context of font design.

Interestingly Germany has a similar law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Enforcement_Act). Based on a cursory read the Indian counterpart seems quite similar.

Can you please explain what the fiasco about Watson is? I know Watson, but not the fiasco part.
The link for "MariaDB corporation" points to an empty image with white colour background. Can anyone explain the context here?
