I agree that the gender pay gap is troubling, but I'd like to see more fathers as primary caregivers instead of looking for ways to make primary caregivers also earn as much as primary earners.

Even in very liberal sf bay, there are not so subtle exclusionary biases against fathers as primary caregivers which I have experienced on parental leave. In passing in the grocery store, there are nods and acknowledgments, but in classes, the local "mothers group", and the support infrastructure for new parents, there is a lot of non-inclusive language. As a most privileged person, I take this all as a very gentle lesson in what it is like to be not in a position of privilege, but I do think it contributes to men opting out of primary caregiving. Also, breast feeding.

Choosing to prioritize children over career reasonably impacts career trajectory. I'd prefer if we had more gender oblivious parental policies and expectations instead of reinforcing gender essentialism through overly targeted programs.
Hmm. Does that make sense? If wages are fair, a (particular) woman's wage shouldn't drop until _after_ she drops out of the workforce, at least temporarily. Which means there shouldn't be a bias in who is earning less, at least for the first child.
Can somebody who read the paper in depth comment on whether the result is practical or not? Since it's a TCS paper, it's hard to gauge whether the constant factors are palatable or not, and there are many theoretical CS papers that give asymptotically optimal or significantly improved algorithms that have astronomical constant factors (e.g. matrix multiplication, etc.)

Errrr, why? I mean, I don't think markets literally tell us what everybody wants in that there are plenty of coordination problems, ridge cases, etc.

But on the whole I think markets do a great job and, more importantly, I don't know of a better mechanism.
Looks like the problem is too complex to boil it down to a catch phrase, but 'motherhood' is maybe a reasonable proxy if it doesn't imply that there's nothing to do about it. It would be interesting to compare outcomes with countries that have very progressive parenthood vacation policies.
Can someone write a patch worm that spread and fix the bug by exploiting the bug itself?
So, people sometimes suggest deemphasizing long hours as a solution to the wage gap.

I once worked at a startup where we'd established product-market fit, and all our problems boiled down to tech debt. The codebase simply needed to be rewritten. Doing so wasn't so intellectually hard that you needed to be a genius; you just needed a decent mastery of general programming, and to be willing to put in the hours. I worked a couple 90-hour weeks to get it done in time for our largest client's launch, and became the person on our team who knew the most about our codebase. This gave me enormous leverage in salary negotiation.

How do we stop me from doing that?
Can someone ELI5 this?

I don't feel the article did a good job of explaining what they didm
I'm too focused on physical aspect -- my mistake, but don't know how to change that. I'm about to end a 9mo relationship with a girl that loves me, but I can't pass over not finding her very attractive.

And the girls which are very attractive, don't find me attractive for them.
The article suggests that the initial pay gap is due to a flight risk adjustment based on the expectation of "motherhood" (but what they really mean is becoming a primary caregiver)
> Even when mothers cut back at work, they are not paid proportionately less. When their pay is calculated on an hourly basis, they are still paid less than men for the hours they work, Ms. Goldin has shown in previous work. Employers, especially for jobs that require a college degree, pay people disproportionately more for working long hours and disproportionately less for working flexibly.

Time spent at work is traded off against free time. Your first hour of free time in a day is worth more to you than your 20th hour of free time in a day. So on average, people are going to need to be paid disproportionately more to do work more in a given day, on a marginal basis: the marginal value of free time increases as you have less of it.

This has nothing to do with the sex of the worker, although if women and men value free time differently one would expect that to be reflected in overall compensation.
> Thus, IMO the more likely mechanism ... is more that you get a better random restart

This doesn't explain the many times (at least in my case, for example) where a solution pops into your head before you "restart." In other words, your mind seems to be working on the problem even if you're not consciously working on it / haven't consciously restarted.

define pirating, because it's legal in many parts of Europe to watch copy of movie even if you don't own original, it's illegal to upload content, it's legal to download it, so sites like fmovies.se gomovies.to and million other clones (which are actually using Google video to host their copies) are legal for their users
Almost no one will bat an eye at how fathers get a fraction of the time off mothers get in the US at "pro parents" companies. Eg: Mothers might get 3 mothers, fathers might get 1.

Sure, mothers need a bit more time to physically recover, but you almost garentee the mother will be the one staying home for the kids: they get several times as much time to practice. Then they'll just ride the wave.

This seems like such an obvious and trivial thing to fix that would get us a large part of the way to solving this problem. It would solve a lot of others, such as the subconscious "fear" a company might have when hiring a young woman that she might vanish for a few months if she gets pregnant, while a man would not leave for as long.

Let's just make it equal already.
"some people work too hard so it makes other people look bad by comparison" is a shitty argument from the beginning. It is the wrong approach. I like shorter workweeks, but this isnt the right way to get there.
This is a huge step in the right direction. Microsoft Office and Windows are a huge unnecessary and practically unmaintainable approach.

That being said, public education would benefit even more from using a consistent, maintainable, and free Linux distribution.

Public schools but a lot of worthless effort into providing computers for students that are (attempt to be) secure and usable. A good Linux distribution (like NixOS, or even Ubuntu) has tools to provide a consistent maintained operating system for tens or hundreds of systems. This has been the case for over a decade, but administrations have assumed that since everyone uses Windows, that they would be swimming upstream to do otherwise.
Beyond that, not just the clause is unenforceable, it invalidates the whole contract.
> Smalltalk is powerful because all Smalltalk data are programs–all information is embodied by running, living objects.

That's what Lisp systems do too. Program elements like classes, functions, methods, symbols, ... are first class objects. With something like CLOS you have a similar level of object-oriented meta-programming capabilities.

Many Lisp systems offer additionally to execute Lisp data using a Lisp interpreter and Lisp has a simple data representation for Lisp programs: Lisp data.

Smalltalk OTOH uses text as source code and usually a compiler to byte-code.

> because Lisp source code is expressed in the same form as running Lisp code

Only if you use a Lisp interpreter. Otherwise the running Lisp code might be machine code or some byte code.

> Smalltalk goes one further than Lisp: it’s not that Smalltalk’s source code has no syntax so much as Smalltalk has no source code.

That's a misconception. Smalltalk has source code. As text. It's just typically managed by the integrated development environment.

It's actually Lisp which goes further than Smalltalk, because Lisp has source as data and can use that in Lisp interpreters directly for execution.
Man I spent a lot of time playing that back in the day...
yes, the keyword you are looking for is Magisk though it's not really for ordinary users
I'm well aware, I've programmed in Pharo daily for a decade; I Smalltalk for a living.

What I said it true practically speaking, you're getting into implementation details that don't make a practical difference. Lisp and Smalltalk are both image based systems, but Smalltalk'ers actually work on the running live image all of the time, they aren't ever booting from the sources file nor are they ever editing it manually (excluding the one file based GNU Smalltalk), it's pared with a changes file to enable the IDE to expose the current source of a method but those are hidden implementation details whereas I'm talking about the abstraction presented to the programmer. Lispers "can" do this as well, and sometimes do, but Lisp has a much more standard general workflow of editing files that are then read and launched to create/patch a runtime image it's not the normal worflow to work entirely in the REPL which is essentially what Smalltalk'ers do.

Consider the difference, what Smalltalker's see in their code browsers is a text version of what's actually running; if they had macros, which are nothing more than code generators, they'd be seeing is the macro expansion rather than the original source call to the macro. Certainly Lispers "can" do this as well, they can macro expand something to see what's actually running but as their primary mode is editing the original source they're accustomed to seeing the macro unexpanded, they might define an accessor like

(name :accessor person-name
:initform 'bill
:initarg :name)

And from experience know that an accessor is a getter, setter, and backing instance variable but they don't see those things in their editors, they just know they'll exist at runtime; whereas a Smalltalker is accustomed to looking at the runtime where he actually sees the getter, setter, and and backing instance variable.

Macros just don't fit into Smalltalk; they've been added before, people keep trying it, and it just doesn't fit and so doesn't catch on.
> I doubt that Stallman himself would consider them relevant since he, in my experience, takes every opportunity to disassociate himself from communism and anarchism; he is instead concerned with copyright, software patents, and other impediments to scientific progress.

His solution to that is a limited form of anarcho-communism—abolishing private intellectual property (while the FSF leveraged existing private intellectual property regimed to effect that goal) in favor of free public use.

Whether he approves of the label is pretty much irrelevant to whether what he advocates is in line with it.
Been there, done that. The only outcome was sex.
Does this imply zlib and gzip may be able to be patched to reduce memory usage and runtime?

Strikes me as a Sokal-style joke about bad writing in philosophy.

i am not sure since i watch majority of content on fmovies.se and similar sites, ain't gonna pay for limited Netflix, if they offered me same Netflix as in US I would not mind paying, but they can keep that crippled local version for themselves, one would think it's illegal in Europe to offer very different version of your product depending on what is location/race of your customer, one would say it's pretty racist/bigoted
Same here in Taiwan. Court has ruled more than once that non-complete cannot be applied to any employee who is not top-level executive.
Another model I've seen is that everyone gets a blanket noncompete, but when the employee leaves, the business and legal folks get together and decide whether they really want to pay for the person to be unemployed.

Usually it depends on the exact new position, whether it's at a direct competitor, how senior the person was, etc.

If companies are investing wages, training opportunity cost, and other resources into having a productive workforce some time in the future, it would be rational (though not fair) to invest less in those workers who were less likely to be in the workforce in a couple of years.

That is, one can view a wage not as a reward, but as a retainer. If companies aren't paying you to be nice to you for what you've done in the past, but are paying you on past performance as in indicator of what you'll do for them in the future, then it would be rational for them to take more factors into account when estimating your future output. Estimators of your probability of leaving the workforce would be one such factor.

It's not fair, but it might be rational.
And they made this possible by co-opting authocrats or wannabe authocrats like Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban, along with other corrupt leaders. I just wonder if they play to build their silk road railway through Ukraine. The Chinese bought an area bigger than Belgium in this country which are using for agriculture.
I certainly agree with the goal of giving individuals their freedom and to have the right to act in an atypical way.

But let's keep a hold on reality here. Women carry babies, not men. Women breastfeed, not men. Women have higher trait agreeableness and exhibit maternal behaviors at all ages in all cultures ever [1]. These aren't "gender essentialism", they're biology.

There is a difference between saying "this kind of person usually does this" and "this kind of person must only do this". The first is often correct, the second is the one that's problematic.

Women will always be more linked to children, and that's fine. We shouldn't try to hammer humans into an ideologically-defined artificial shape, even if it's "equal". That's a recipe for great sadness. Just let people be.

what pay gap? it's a myth
fluoride is safe and effective and because it's so widespread in use, even if you only drink bottled water you're probably getting secondary exposure from other food/drink sources. And if you brush your teeth regularly with a fluoride toothpaste, then you've got that delivery mechanism covering you as well. In the end, the public health benefits are there because fluoridation is pervasive and hard to avoid. By similar argument, you probably also don't have an iodine deficiency because of all the iodized salt in use.

So, I don't think you're factually wrong in most of what you said. But I have to say, you're saying that it's pervasive in other sources besides tap water (since you raise other food/drink sources), but still in your first sentence asserting that it belongs in drinking water.

So I ask you, if these other sources of beneficial fluoride exist (like our toothpaste, or even food/drinks), why would it need to be added to the drinking water?

And why, of all things, would they choose fluoride to add to the drinking water, and not the myriad other minerals/vitamins we're deficient of. I know that's proposterous to imagine - but fluoride somehow made it.

What if gender pay gap was just a result of men being pressured to take on more risks in life (i.e. a wider gaussian). And, the ones that have failed (or died) are no longer included in the data?

For instance, when I look at the homeless people in the US, 95% are male. I'm sure the prison population is also skewed toward males.

What if ... men just are over represented on both ends of the curve but the low end isn't given attention?
Indeed, as well as underutilizing men who might be highly skilled at child care.
There's a social norm thing going on there too. Regardless of what laws say there's what you can get from your employer. Employers are more flexible with women than men when children arrive. At a cost, sure, but if for whatever reason you want the man in the relationship to go part time to devote more time to kids, it's hard to be taken seriously in the face to face negotiation. Women are almost always taken seriously when making such a request. This expectation of the norm reinforces the norm too.
Normal authors don't want DRM. Only those who support censorship and abusive preemptive policing. I.e. police state methodology (as expressed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootk...).

Seems the classical political/economic/philosophical divide of meritocracy versus providing based on people's needs.

Let's say we don't reward people for working longer hours and aggressively seeking better opportunities, what is their motivation for trying harder? Should we say "you're not allowed to work longer hours because many people out there can't compete with it"?

Is it just for women to earn less over their lifetimes due to their biological drive towards motherhood and the downtime that entails? Is it just for men to be rewarded for their biological drive to compete and provide a better life for their loved ones?
The wage gap just doesn't exist. It doesn't exist because different occupations create different amounts of value. Why can't people accept this fact? Why can't people accept that women may want to live their lives differently from men?

Women choose to engage in different productive tasks than men do. It's why you generally don't see women working oil fields or cutting trees or building buildings or being DJs or yes, spending 16 hours straight coding. It's also why you generally don't see men being homemakers, teaching young children, nursing, etc. More power to the people who CHOOSE to go against these norms, if they so desire.

Why tell women to do things they don't want to do? Why imply that what they've chosen to do isn't good enough?
Well yeah, obviously. It surprises me that an idea as basic as this is newsworthy. Could someone please fill me in on what people thought was playing a larger role than this?

Stallman as the Walter Sobchak of the Internet?
The breast feeding should not be dismissed a minor reason. Faced with a crying (so likely hungry) baby, a woman can just offer her breast, and have a happy and quite possibly sleepy individual a few minutes after.

For a man who's left home with refrigerated mother's milk bottles, the ordeal involves getting the bottle out of the fridge, warming it to exactly the right temperature via one of those monstrous bottlewarmer thingamajigs, giving it a good shake and then performing a few samplings to ensure it's properly warmed, not too cold or too hot in some places. Most of the time the temperature is inconsistent and the bottle requires a little more warming or time to cool off.

Finally a proper-temperature bottle is presented to the baby, who meanwhile is crying his socks off, pretty convinced at that point that a 3-minute delay means eternal starvation for the rest of his short life. Getting the baby back to the happy state is significantly more involving and time-consuming at this point.

This also assumes that baby will be perfectly fine with 1 bottle, and not 1.3 or 1.7 bottles (which doubles the time requirement for the procedure).
A lot of happy millionaires have close to no income, in fact they remain happy millionaires while incurring in negative net worth growth.
