People aren't paid based on how much value they create. They're paid so they agree to work for you, and then so they don't quit working. There is a relationship here -- you're willing to pay more to keep people working on more valuable things -- but there are tons of other factors that affect a person's pay. Previous salaries, other offers, and negotiation skills often affect pay far more than actual created value.

Think about it: if pay were based on how much value a person creates, why do different people on the same team doing the same job sometimes have wildly different salaries? Why do people often get raises after threatening to quit? How can salary negotiation ever work?

This article makes me think of the sci-fi book Ethan of Athos.

"The population of Athos is sustained using uterine replicator technology. [ ... ] Through military and community service, Athosians earn "Social Duty Credits" towards reproduction. Regulations also allow for a "Designated Alternate Parent" who can earn Social Duty Credits by coparenting a partner's sons. Homosexuality is generally the norm on Athos, and while partnerships are typically romantic and sexual, some are merely mutually beneficial arrangements based on finances and child-rearing."

"... while there are many examples of "Planets of Women" in fiction, Athos is the only "Planet of Men" she can think of. She writes that "I couldn’t have imagined what a feminist notion a planet of men is, and how tied up with nurturing children Athos is, accounting for the costs in a way that doesn’t dismiss it as 'women’s work.'”"

In their economy, child-raising is an economic activity that's accounted and paid for by society.

Many people find it more convenient to instead believe the difference is caused by people in charge automatically offering women less than what they would offer a man. Of course, studies controlling for the type of job, credentials, experience, ability, etc., show that to be a poor hypothesis, but it is nevertheless a phrasing that makes it easy to make people angry (and vote for you).
No, not really. The abstract threat of force for acting as though you could possibly have or accomplish everything without having had the support of society is nothing like the very immediate threat of torture, rape, or death. They do happen to be on the same spectrum, which gives you only the barest excuse for such a callous view.

The idea that outperformance should be rewarded with wealth is fundamental to the idea of capitalism. It is well represented by the idea of r > g. Also, just because r > g, doesn't mean that the economy relies on capital returns. It means it relies on capital returns being able to outstrip increases in output.

If you want a system where r = g, you are requiring some sort of top down wealth allocation system to cap r, (a morally and legally supreme government...socialism?). I'll avoid that system.

If you think it's actionable perhaps you could suggest an action?

If you think no micro action is meaningful, does this mean you would be comfortable walking up to a homeless person and saying that you're not going to bother helping them with their problems because no matter what they do, r > g and they're screwed? That's a pretty lame excuse, I'd feel bad saying that.
Different career types have different proportions of men and women so the gender-based wage gap is not real.

Men can definitely stay at home if they want to, why do you think that's not valid?
If I can be extremely frank, you don't HAVE to force someone gullible enough to do it willingly.

And though this is conjecture on my part, even if you find refactoring and rewriting interesting, if you had the 50 hours back from doing these things and were instead rewriting and refactoring your own personal projects, I suspect you'd be equally as happy and would be something like 30x as likely to get fair remunerations for your work, rather than either enjoying the pittance they're going to give you or feeling the eventual heartbreak when they realize you're demanding a lot of money and they could just hire another passionate drone to pick up where you left off.
Yes, that is what it sounds like and how it is presented. But when you look closely, it turns out that the statistics used to support the "gender pay gap" argument are most definitely not about unequal pay for the same work.

Instead, the widely quoted 77 cents to the dollar (now 79) is simply the median earnings of (all) men compared to the median earnings of (all) women, not accounting for any confounders[1], such as hours worked, experience or field. So the name is also a misnomer (almost certainly intentional), because it is not a "pay gap", but an "earnings gap". An actual pay gap is illegal, illogical and grounds for lawsuits.

Why is it illogical (in addition to illegal)? For a lot of companies, pay is their major cost factor. If you could save 20% on that without any other negative consequences, at least some companies would hire all women and make a killing. And if you assume that people's support of "The Patriarchy" trumps their greed...well I don't really know what to think, and I'd also point out that there are female company owners (in fact, women own more than 50% and control an even larger portion of wealth in the US)

Whoa. This is why we can't have productive discussions on real issues. White knights abound.
Look at this bloodlessly, as you would a coding problem. Do you honestly think women and men are psychologically identical on every economically relevant metric, in capabilities and/or preferences? What would the world look like if this were true? What would it look like if it were not?

It makes products cheaper because it exploits workers more ruthlessly, "who's going to consider an offer to drive for UberEats?" isn't a choice where industry is destroyed and only a UberEats-level job is available(companies which had fair wages(taxi drivers) were driven out of the market).

The problem is more that the standard model for applications is 'can access the whole filesystem, can write to the user's home directory'. The default model should change to sandboxing an application without any permissions.

>How the hell are you going to be a good parent after a 90 hour week?

Not everyone has offspring. Stop projecting your insecurities about not working overtime onto the rest of us about how people who choose to work extra with their time are a detriment to society.

Some people work well in grinds, particularly when it is pretty mindless refactoring and they have a strong grasp of the language. If this person put in the extra mile and actually delivered something that wasn't a turd, good for him/her for choosing to use the asset of time to boost the company and his/her career.
Bad comparison. What is an Internet if not a way to link Intranets reliably? That is how it came to life...
I'm pretty sure the ACTUAL reason is that sometimes people say "you guys" instead of "y'all" in work emails and on slack.
> If consumers are not willing to pay enough for Uber to be able to offer this, they have a poor business model or are in the wrong market.

This is a very elitist view, as it benefits only high-margin businesses, usually catering to the richest parts of the society.

It just so happens that margins generated by Neiman Marcus, Whole Foods Market, or a white-cloth Michelin-starred restaurant will allow it to survive. Margins generated by a clothing thrift shop, corner bodega or a taco stand - not so much. Scores of businesses in the latter group are shut down, some are exempted (US conveniently does not enforce minimum wage laws on self-employed or family operations), some rely on undocumented labor and cash economy.

Economists who advocate this, meanwhile, find the nest hot topic for conferences and panel discussions: "Food deserts in poor neighborhoods - root causes and possible solutions".
Not all females exhibit maternal behavior, some are even pretty damn bad at it. Some males are within the range of women at maternal behavior. All these things are on a spectrum and when you think male and female you are thinking of archetypes, i.e. individuals that are at the far end of the spectrum. The so-called "biological" assumptions you mention, fall short when observing egalitarian hunter gatherer societies in which males participate a lot more in infant care. A lot of studies never bother to control for what happens in egalitarian hunter gatherer societies and are therefore often worthless in establishing whether something is cultural or biological. And let's not forget, the more monogamous a species, the more paternal care of offspring. This is even why monogamy exists. Given that humans are on the lower end of sexual dimorphism compared to other apes and have a lot of features of pair bonding species, humans males should be on average pretty damn good at infant care.

Well, it depends a little bit what you want to learn.
Do you want to focus on binary reversing or on e.g. protocol reversing or firmware reversing etc.

That being said, you'll need to learn:

- Disassemblers like IDA Pro or Radare2

- Internals of the operating system of your choice, so you know how it works

- Internals of the file formats you want to reverse

- What code constructs look like in disassembly so you can recognize them

- Tons and tons of practice

Many people start learning with so called Crackme challenges, google for that. challenges.re is a good start.

There's free ebooks around like at https://beginners.re/

Lists like https://github.com/fdivrp/awesome-reversing will provide more pointers.

It's important to understand that reverse engineering is not an easy topic to master. It'll take tons of time and practice, so be patient.
Why was this downvoted, seriosly. That is pretty usual problem through the genders are normally flipped.
An interesting theory there is that it's primarily a combination of (a) women aren't socialised to negotiate as hard (b) everybody is socialised to regard a woman negotiating hard more negatively than a man doing so.

Since both of these things seem to me to suck anyway I figure we might as well fix them and see what happens. Of course, exactly how 'fix them' works is a tricky question.
And yes, internet is still a toy for real time mission critical data despite all the QoS developments that have been happening.
I'm thankful that the wikipedia entry makes a point of separating the two definitions. While I generally nod along with the sentiment provided by top level comment, it's important to understand that there are different definitions; however irrelevant (IMO) one of the definitions seems to be (for the reasons again mentioned by the top level comment.)

One thing I think jecjec has neglected to consider, at least in writing, is that the history of our society and the roles women have played in it do have an impact on what fields women consider. There are always those who go against the grain (read: against what our culture "expects") -- women in technology, men in early childhood education, but they are outliers. Perhaps there is sound reason for some of these differences, but I suspect their could be a lot more even distribution between genders for many fields if we had the opportunity to hit the reset button. Perhaps that's what the gender pay gap is about.
Agreed. Jesus taught "a man's life doesn't consist in the abundance of his possessions". Greed is a flaw common to humanity. We sacrifice much peace and happiness needlessly because of it. I read on psychology today that women have more money and more power now than ever and yet are less happy.

Unfortunately LGBTQHDKIGF stems from the feminist movement I think, and now people are so confused they can't even tell what gender they are.

Different genders are good. If marriage was taken more seriously, none of this would be a problem because married couples share money anyways.
Ditto Sweden.

Men don't seem to take nearly as much total time off as women, but many - even most - professional men seem to take 6 months off, and perhaps 1 day off a week for years.

My sample is from offices. I know of friends at factories etc who also took 6 months off, but I don't know if its as pervasive.
> The drm is probably a requirement to stream many of the video

Then why does Netflix apply drm to all served content, including its own?
The gender wage gap does exist. It's simply a fact that women earn less than men. The real question then, is why. Is it because sexist managers pay women less money than men? Are women less likely to negotiate their offers as aggressively as men? Do women on average have to work longer to get promoted (and consequently earn salary raises) and why does this happen? Is it because women are more likely to pursue careers that pay less? Is it because men are seen as more attractive when their income goes up but this doesn't hold true for women? Are women and men just biologically inclined to pursue different career paths? Does the wage gap exist because women are more likely to work part-time? Is it because women are more likely to choose to prioritize child-rearing over their career? Is it because society expects women to prioritize motherhood? Is it because managers pay women less because they assume women will be less committed to their career?

Some of these possible reasons are obviously more concerning than others. If the gender wage gap is 100% due to less concerning reasons, such as women simply making the choice to prioritize motherhood over their career, then you could argue that while the gender gap exists it's not a societal problem that we need to address since it's not caused by institutional discrimination of any sort. The reality is a lot more complicated and nuanced, and it's probable that there are several reasons that can explain the gender gap, that don't necessarily compete with each other.
A hash property on the <a> tag would be spiffy
I think you're reading too much into it. He's just not a very good novelist.
You would quit in a few days in a union shop because it doesn't align with your personality. They expect clock punchers and care more about process/seniority rather than productivity.

People who want to complete tasks with ruthless efficiency will struggle immensely with the waste at union (and government) orgs.

Sorry for the rant, but you're question isn't worth worrying about because people that would want to work from home wouldn't be working in a union shop that barred work.
So ... because the vendor doesn't support you modifying something that you bought from them, it's also ok that they then intenionally break it? I'm not sure I am following ...
According to that article, the 77 cents on the dollar number popularized in political rhetoric is not measuring equal pay for equal work. After controlling for some obvious factors it drops to a single digit percentage. And the authors of the same study point out that even the remainder could be predominantly a result of other uncontrolled factors.

> Noting that the raw wage gap is the result of a number of factors, the report said that the raw gap should not be used to justify corrective action, adding that "Indeed, there may be nothing to correct. The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers."
Kinda skeptical of your assumptions. First of all, no codebase simply needs to be "rewritten" -- it's a nice thing to have the luxury of doing, but in production, you consciously aim to minimize the surface of churned code with every change. You made a choice, with certain tradeoffs against other potential choices, to rewrite the codebase. Fine.

I've heard folks insist a lot of times that they get extra productivity from putting in more than 40-50 hours / week. From those who I've actually worked with, I have been able to verify that it's more of a psychological conviction than anything. You say that your 90-hour work weeks got you familiar with the codebase so that you became the person on the team who knew the most about it. But, a more experienced professional could have done it in even less time if than you, without such absurd hours.

If you have so much tech debt that you absolutely need to refactor a bunch of things, 90% of the work should be grokking the original codebase (mostly reading and comprehension), as well as redesign. Of the remaining 10% of the work, 5% of that 10% should be writing tests. The remaining 5% is slicing and dicing the old code.

If I was your manager (and I've had to talk engineers away from the ledge in similar situations before), you would likely be running this plan by me before you did it, and I would very strongly recommend you to take a different, less risky strategy to get whatever changes we needed for the client launch. If you decided against that, it's likely I would fire you for poor performance, although it's likely I wouldn't have hired you in the first place. Solid engineers don't need >50 hr workweeks to hit their deadlines, and they can sustain productivity reasonably indefinitely at healthily run organizations.
Suppose one day gig economy companies all go out of business, and all their current workforce files for unemployment benefits.

They also have the highest suicide rates. Go figure.
You're right, and that's exactly why we have these discussions, push for legislation, put (social) pressure on businesses, etc.

The problem I see is that businesses are not agnostic to the lifestyle choices of their employees. Rather, they're antagonistic to them.

If not for our collective efforts, I'm sure a business would happily force people to work over the weekend for a pittance, break down the work/leisure barrier even more, and possibly have us sign away the right to our souls and bodies upon employment.
> I'd like to see more fathers as primary caregivers

I'd like to see moms and dads choosing who the primary caregiver will be in their own families. I don't see why it's the business of government programs, Hacker News commenters, "society" or anybody else.

I identified as a feminist when feminism was about correcting obvious inequalities between the sexes. Nowadays it seems to be more about behavioral engineering and how we can coerce people to behave in a manner which matches our definition of a perfect society. I no longer identify as a feminist.
Did you work in a company with a union? Because what you write is not true in my experience. We most definitely don't care more about process or seniority than productivity. Compenent, productive people get promoted.

The union working rules make sense for the company. It's not sustainable to work that much. Worker burnout and churn is bad for the company. Fostering a culture that forces people to work until they drop if they want to get ahead is toxic.

Besides breast feeding, the problem is as much as womn take a hit for caregiving, men take a larger hit. They are punished more than women for caregiving roles, perhaps because there is still an expectation (so women still more slack even if they do take a hit) for taking care of children.
> I don't watch on mobile devices so this doesn't bother me.

Nor do I, but the app was useful for sending the video to chromecast.

That said, I find chromecast painful and restrictive in terms of streaming content from other regions using VPN. Chromecast is very uptight and locked down to your native location. I stopped using Chromecast for that reason after not finding a workaround. When I was only watching my region's content (Australia) the Netflix app was useful. Unfortunately, Australia's Netflix content library was too weak, so I needed other regions to make it worthwhile.
I would like to see this... Because why the fuck not? If I have kids with my SO one day it would be fucking amazing to be able to spend just as much time with my kid as my wife would. We should both be getting the same amount of months off, and be able to choose how we apply them. (I.E. I'd probably like the first month off, she could probably take the first 6 months off, and then I'd take my final 5 months off after that.)
I don't really buy such a maximalist view.

Service economy differentiates itself on a multitude of dimensions, of which price is just one. By that notion McDonald's should've driven everyone out of business because who's going to buy a $5 or $7 or $10 burger when a $1 cheeseburger is available? Gas station coffee or vending machine coffee should've destroyed all other coffee businesses, as what fool would pay $4.50 for a cup of coffee when a 50c cup is available at the corner 7-11?

All of those are important questions, but I think it's also important to prefix "gender wage gap" with the words "adjusted" or "unadjusted" in order to identify which problem you're talking about. All of those questions will fit into one of those two categories, and the arguments for each vary wildly. Unadjusted (~78% [1]) wage gap deals more with society's impact on a woman's wage, or a woman's intrinsic desire to pursue a career in a particular field, whereas adjusted wage gap (5-8% [1]) deals more with factors like sexism and the economic impact of hiring a woman.

In my opinion, it would be worth while to tackle the adjusted wage gap in the short term, and the unadjusted wage gap in the long term, as the latter requires more dramatic changes in society, I think.
