What you said and what I said are in agreeement, so I'm not sure I follow. "Program stored in memory in the same form in which the user enters it" makes it isomorphic. Which was exactly the point I was trying to make in response to the parent comment.

You cannot simply expose the compiler/AST data structure and call your language homoiconic because the text the user enters and the resulting AST are not isomorphic which is a necessary precondition for homoiconicism.

I may be missing something in what you said though, so please do let me know.
> What most of these languages seem to miss is that Smalltalk’s class system, like Lisp’s macro system, is a symptom of the power already available in the language, not its cause. If it didn’t already have it, it wouldn’t really be that hard to add it in yourself.

What most of these articles seem to miss is that that Java's designers were themselves expert Lispers and Smalltalkers, and they most certainly realized all that, and that Java's success is a consequence of them understanding exactly why not to repeat the same design. Design doesn't live in a vacuum. Design is shaping a product not just to fit some platonic ideal, but reality, with all its annoying constraints.

To understand why Lispers and Smalltalkers designed Java the way they did, I recommend watching James Gosling's talk, How The JVM Spec Came To Be[1], and the first 20 minutes or so of Brian Goetz's talk, Java: Past, Present, and Future[2].

The problem is that the way the issue is (intentionally, I'm sure) presented is with charged phrases like "for every dollar a man makes, a woman only makes X cents". To a reasonable person, that sounds like it implies "for the same work" -- otherwise, you're comparing apples to oranges, so they must not mean that, the reasonable person thinks. And so the reasonable person gets (rightfully) angry and it becomes a very emotional issue, even though it was based on deception. In that sense, what most people imagine when someone says "wage gap" doesn't exist.
Lxcr is not the only option
I think you're going about this the wrong way. The parent commenter already indicated that they're getting emotional over this topic (assuming genuine indignation).

I sincerely doubt implying they're "white knighting" is going to set the discussion on a better track.

In other words, I think comments like yours are also responsible for why discussions on these topics are so unproductive.

See sibling comments to yours for an idea of how your comment could be improved next time.
However, many software firms have no issue with selling the development of a feature to customer A, and then selling a license for said feature to customer B. This is the same situation as selling the skills acquired at employer A to employer B. Why is it ok for employers to do this, but not for employees?
So there is no pay gap. Certain people, mostly women choose to not work as much and make less. They should make less.

If I as a person decide I only want to work 2 days a week and my coworkers are all doing 5x8hr days. Why should I doing less work be paid the same?

This seems easily solved. Women should stop having kids if earning the same is important to them.

We often read interviews of high achievers talk about how they balance their family-life/kids/work and yet still accomplish so much in their professional life. It's tough but they can manage, and we assume, of course, they are intelligent/hard workers.

Well, I know a guy who had quite close contacts with high-wealth/high-achieving individuals due to his work in startups. He himself came from a upper middle class with a degree from an Ivy League.

What he commented about how high wealth individuals balance family life and still kick ass in their professional life was quite amusing.

He basically said, it's the nannies.

From the time the kids are born till they go to junior or high school, a parent basically has to deal with dropoff/pickup for daycare/school/activities. And it's non stop when school's in session.

If a parent happens to be a homemaker, great. But these days high achievers rarely seem to marry a homemaker as their friends/contacts are from college/grad-school/work who also have capacity/desire for achieving something in professional life.

And of course if you are in a high income bracket, you also tend to have more activities (private lessons for this and that) for kids. And this means more rides to give.

If you have nannies that can handle feeding/rides/laundry(omg, the laundry)/etc, then the parent(s) can put in long hours in office without interruption, fly to other cities/nations for meetings with little hassle, etc, all of which is required to kick ass and takes names in one's professional life.

The question is, can you build your income level high enough, and fast enough, so that you can afford nannies when you have kids?
In a strictly cold, economic sense, this is probably true. You can make the assumption that domestic labour has a financial payoff in terms of better chances for the child in later life, but when you compare it to the effect of a higher household income right now, that later financial payoff has to be quite extreme to have an equivalent effect.
No, I don't. That's nonsense. But two people doing the same job and achieving results should be paid the same. It's not that complicated.
I'm a guy and I do, my gf doesn't really want any of that. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
I think you can change biases, incentives and cultural norms to influence people's choices. Current cultural norms guide people into an inefficient allocation.
Confounder: if that were the case (society pressures women into making these choices), you would expect that the countries that are most egalitarian and most free would produce the most equal outcomes in terms of chosen profession. Surprisingly (at least to me!), the exact opposite is the case: the more egalitarian the society, the more the genders self-segregate into different professions. The men into more technical ("systematizing") professions, the women into more people-oriented professions.

For example, a recent BBC article asked "Why is Russia so good at encouraging women into tech?"[1] Fortunately, the article contains the answer: economic necessity.

"Most of the girls we talked to from other countries had a slightly playful approach to Stem, whereas in Russia, even the very youngest were extremely focused on the fact that their future employment opportunities were more likely to be rooted in Stem subjects."

So women in Russia follow the money, women in the west follow their passion.

I don't remember where I read it (probably on a HN post or comment) but there was a great suggestion regarding organization chart. Instead of doing one only when you scale from 10 to 20 people like this article suggests, the idea was to do one on day 1.

On day 1 every position from CEO, CFO, to mail delivery messenger is filed with one or 2 names: the founder(s). As the company grows, you hire people and start delegating the work so that they can fill the positions on the organization chart.

Maybe that's what it used to be based on but more recent things I've seen have been talking about the difference for the same work, education and experience, i.e.:

"Even when comparing the sexes with the same job title at the same company and using similar education and experience, the gender pay gap persists: Men earned 2.4 percent more than women on average, down slightly from last year"[1]

"Procurement Leaders recent research shows that female buyers are paid less than male buyers. That is, women are earning less for the same work." [2]

"After accounting for job, industry, education and experience, Blau and Kahn determined that 38 percent of the wage gap comes from factors “unexplained.”" [3]

Room temperature feedings are really not an issue.

8 pound baby investing a less than 3oz feeding at room temperature is really not an issue. 100f vs 70f = 30 degrees * 3 oz / 128 oz ~= at most 0.7f temperature drop however this is spread out over time and a fairly extreme example to begin with.

That said cold milk is a larger issue.

That's not what is meant by wage gap, you have been (intentionally) deceived. The gap only works if you do NOT account for things like "doing the same job".
Thanks. It's an emotive issue, and starting a conversation with "yeah this issue doesn't exist" isn't a great beginning. Fair point that my comment wasn't exactly constructive either.

I'm fully in favour of families with one working adult, of whatever sex, or two people working - whatever they choose to do.

But there are clear and obvious corporate drivers for encouraging women into the workplace. Firstly, it broadens the pool of labour as far as possible to depress salaries and lower corporate costs. Secondly, women negotiate less assertively, which tends to lower wages in industries where they're more common.

> you would expect that the countries that are most egalitarian and most free would produce the most equal outcomes in terms of chosen profession

I think they will, in time. There are still CEOs around who remember when women were mostly (almost exclusively?) secretaries. I think it's fair to want equality now, but not necessarily fair to expect society to move towards it in such a rapid fashion. Not to mention, even though we're a free society there are still endless reminders that men have these specific jobs, and women have those specific jobs. It's getting better (because people are pushing for it) but films are a usually an example of this: mostly male main characters, most business/finance/tech movies revolve around male characters. Most people to idolize in tech are male. I guess it would be hard to measure, but I'd be surprised to learn this pattern didn't have an impact on a young mind, male or female.
Perhaps the idea of having forests near population centers should be reevaluated. Clearing a few km of city-bordering forest will create a gap in which fire will not spread, if there is nothing flammable on the ground.
The aesthetics of having "natural trees" nearby is not worth the risk, and polluted air from forest fires definitely doesn't help the overall health.
Not every mother can breastfeed either, if she can't pump enough (which happened to us with our second child) then you'll have to consider mixing with formula.

My wife was usually pretty mad at me for wasting even the little I wasted, but the alternative is to warm up only a bit at a time- that gets the baby angry very quickly.

Frankly the nights are extremely hard with bottles, but my wife breastfed in the nights, so it I didn't get to experience that part much. That said it doesn't have to be bottles exclusively, just when the mother isn't home.

I can't get into too much detail, but I didn't rewrite it just because I was a stubborn stickler. At one point it became impossible to read our code and explain the logic of our asynchronous workflow, which was spread out over and interwoven through about ten monstrous functions. Speaking with humility, at that particular company, no one else was going to rewrite it, because everyone had the mentality "we may as well keep stacking as much debt as needed, as long as we meet this deadline." Meanwhile every bug fix introduced two more.

I'm relatively inexperienced, so I can't comment on the rest of your comment. There's a good chance you're right.

Beyond my own anecdote, the larger allegory I was trying to get at was: I can't think of any real way to stop someone who really wants to work long hours; and at least some of the time, those extra hours will translate into more pay, resulting in a pay gap.

The attribution of the Solow Residual to "technology" is grossly misplaced and very poorly founded.

Roughly 98% can be attributed by primary energy consumption. A fact mainstream economists seem to be at pains to deny.

I very strongly recommend reading literature on the Industrial Revolution(s) generally, and on relating energy and economic growth. There's still a fair bit I've yet to read, but:

* Vaclav Smil, Energy in World History (1994). Highly technical, short, dense, but quite readable. Focus is on energy and technology primarily, economics and politics only remotely.

* Manfred Weissenbacher, Sources of Power (2009). Also technical, long, rambles, somewhat, and unevenly edited, but still recommended. Draws heavily on Smil as well as numerous other sources, and includes more politics (particularly recent) and economics.

* Robert J. Gordon, The Rise and Fall of American Growth (2016). A good technical history, a middling economics text. Really hammers home the transformation in the United States, 1870 - 2015.

* Daniel Yergin, The Prize (1992). A history of oil, which is to say, the last (and largest) segments of Weissenbacher and Smil's histories (Weissenbacher continues to a forecast / scenario), and much of Gordon's work. Focus is on energy.

Gordon's book is part of a series edited by Joel Mokyr on modern industrial history and development, there are several other good books within it.

I've yet to read, but still recommend, Karl Polanyi's Great Transformation.

And yes, the obsession with economic growth was a post-WWII thing. Mostly, people didn't want to see a return of the Great Depression and pre-war crisis.
Smart / Stupid is irrelevant. Just assume both groups are equal except that one group is forced to take more on risk.

Also, assume that higher risk results in more variance. More of the riskier group will end up on the far ends of the curve.

Now, what happens if the riskier group's left side of the curve is ignored?
Yeah, on a personal note, I do actually wish I had more time for my own stuff. And I'm not so sure I could get up to 90 again these days :)

But the point is, even if working 90 hour weeks was a stupid thing to do, for better or worse it positioned me to negotiate more pay. Not because the company somehow had a fetish for long-hour workers, but because of what I learned during those hours. Is there a real way to prevent that? If not, is part of the pay gap inevitable?

People are talking about two different things in this thread, and that's why people are talking past each other. Some people think halving means "half the number of base pairs remain" which would be an exponential process, yes. The other group thinks that "halving" means literally cut in half -- a failed base pair cuts the DNA strand into two pieces. That would be a linear decay process. As someone with no understanding of the underlying decay processes it's not obvious to me which one is right.
