They have been banning them! Ontario, Canada had legislation come into effect earlier this year that achieved the following (albeit for only for companies of 25 employees or more):
- Required disclosure on the usage of AI in resume screening
- Mandatory salary ranges that can only have a range of $50k (except over $200,000)
- Required to state if the vacancy is real or 'planned for later'
- Must respond to applicant within 45-days of the final interview updating them on the status of their application.
Enforcement is also made slightly easier by requiring companies to retain copies of their job postings and any additional documents that are part of the application for 3 years.
This seems great, although I expect in practice we will see companies just set up automatic "sorry you haven't been successful" emails after 44 days. If you haven't heard in 45 days the answer is pretty obvious anyway.
I've seen that from some big companies for applications that didn't even get an interview - months after I already got a job elsewhere I get a random email from Microsoft or whoever saying "sorry you weren't successful".

There's not really a good reason I can think of to require a degree to write software. Sure it shows a basic level of competency, but there are still often graduates who can barely code.
There's also some absolutely incredible developers who come from non-traditional backgrounds that would not even be considered by this requirement.
While it's most likely currently the case where finding a job without a degree is hard, I don't think a hard requirement for a degree should be a valid means of evaluating job applicants.
People are doing basically everything in Go right now! Front-end web development being the exception (though there is GopherJS...). Projects like Docker, Kubernetes, CockroachDB, Consul (and anything Hashicorp does), Mattermost, and etcd are all being written in Go!
Anecdotally, I've heard people using Go to rewrite some of their Ruby services in which more performance is needed.
1. By taking a lower salary in exchange for lunches, you indirectly save on food expenses during the day. Additionally, you could save large amounts of money on taxes.
2. They could and probably do already, however that doesn't get citizens into local restaurants, which is what I'm assuming is this law's goal.
His linear algebra series is fantastic study material in helping poeple to picture just exactly what a linear transformation/determinant/eigenvalue looks like!
I'm sure that's what the policy makers originally wanted (protecting the rights of all EU citizens). That being said, it would be nigh-on-impossible to implement.
Websites would run into the same situation as banks: anytime you open an account at most banks in Europe and probably around the world, they specifically make sure that you're not American, because then they have to comply with American laws if they don't want to get blacklisted.
You do realize Mao Zedong didn't go to Yale right? His affilation with Yale was pretty loose at best. His father was a Chinese farmer too.
The "China of Today" one could say was created by Western Powers would be Taiwan, but even Taiwan had it's foundings on anti-Western sentiments (Chiang Kai-Shek despised Western democracy).
