My problems with TFA are:

1. Are they being paid by the word because they're throwing massive amounts of bullshit into it.

2.

A new form of compromised AP attack has been demonstrated and analysed in [4], called the 'Chameleon' attack, perpetrated by the Chameleon virus.

That would be a "worm". Not a "virus". And a worm that attacks WiFi routers is NOT new.

What about a company like "Curves" whose market is women? It's not bias driven (I assume), but it does limit the "class" of people they serve.

And there have been lawsuits against them for exactly that reason.

We still have women-only bathrooms. We still have some women-only sports teams.

Say you have a company that markets itself as a christian tour group that visits holy sites important to that faith. Can they refuse a group of staunch atheists out of fear that they might ruin the expensive trip for the other customers?

No. Because that "fear" is unsubstantiated with that group of atheists. The same as if they refused a group of blacks "out of fear that they might ruin the expensive trip for the other customers".

Fox favors conservatives, MSNBC favors liberals. BET favors black entertainers. Businesses have biases.

Liberals can watch Fox. Conservatives can watch MSNBC. So that is not the same as NOT providing a service to a class of people.

Businesses have markets. Markets are not biases. The people who own the business have biases. They cannot let their biases influence which classes of people they will serve.

1. The freedom to do X.

You can hold whatever beliefs you want in private. And you have the right to publicly speak about those beliefs. And you have the right to freely congregate with others who also hold those beliefs.

2. The freedom not to be forced to do X.

No one is telling you that you have to congregate with blacks / gays / whatever in private.

BUT, once you open a PUBLIC business then you must treat all classes of people the same regardless of what your PRIVATE beliefs are.

Segregationists weren't practicing a right.

Yes they were. It was legal for them to do so. And a lot of black people were injured and killed in fighting to change those laws.

No. It would be similar to allowing restaurants to refuse to serve black customers.

This is not about business. It is about the personal beliefs and prejudices of the person owning that business. Those beliefs are not the same as business.

I know the sound varies from OK to less OK on here; that's because I somehow flubbed the audio recorded separately. Robin (Roblimo) Miller in editing the footage together did a great job of patching over some of the crazy industrial noises from the adjoining shop (which makes, of all things, electric motorcyles; the places are not related). I didn't realize I'd have a chance to shoot this video, so the footage is all from a point-and-shoot Canon camera that I bought via Craigslist for $80 a few weeks before; I think it did a credible job of focus, etc.

The same is happening with the big investment banks in NYC -- there's no longer a physical reason to be right next to the stock exchange (though your data center still needs to be.)

Actually the datacenters are all out in NJ since NYSE/Euronext moved their own datacenter over the river to Mahwah in 2010.

Uh, 20% of Foxconn's workers don't return, not 20% of China's population.
