It also happens to be way, way underpaid.

A teacher's job security and pension plan aren't available in the private sector at all. It's a complete myth that they are underpaid, focusing on salary alone and not considering the value of the whole package.
That's a bit of an overstatement, at least in the US. Most employees don't work for a public entity and therefore their salaries and ranges are not in any way public record. I would say I could find the salary info of zero of my friends, family, and coworkers in the public record.
Eh ? About to be untrusted by google... interesting time to sell it.
That graphic assumes that doctors work 59.6 hours per week, which sounds like a number pulled from somewhere, and that teachers work 40 hours per week, which sounds like they're assuming a "standard" work week. But that only makes sense if you assume teachers barely work more than the school day itself, which seems implausible. It also assumes that teachers work 38 weeks per year. That would mean a 3.5-month summer break, which doesn't really match with reality.
I'm fine with people being critical of it, some questionable behaviour pretty clearly occurred.

I'm tired of Americans acting like they have a monopoly on Freedom and giving (often uninformed) opinions about how screwed up the justice system of another country is, and how the charter of rights and freedoms is worthless. I just think it's arrogant and hypocritical.
Pay and prestige of educators has diminished as it has become more female dominated. This is a pattern seen across many industries when they shift from male dominated to female dominated. This suggests that there is a relationship between gender distributions in a job and its prestige and value given by society.

Not all jobs have direct "money in, money out" relations that you can use to judge value. This opens the door for all sorts of cultural bias that affects how people decide how much a particular job is "worth".
But given that the variables (like leave) are intrinsically linked to gender via biological and social factors... you can’t favtor them away with that excuse.

Some perhaps but not most, and certainly not all.
Maybe I'm just a bad developer but it does take me 6 months to find any kind of pay/benefits bump.

And no, it isn't easy to do it in parallel because I'm almost always employed so my bandwidth is about one interview a month.
Male teachers face the same issue. But really, salary is only one component of what they are paid.

Just about any teacher that survives to an old age will beat me earnings wise with their pension, which they don't have to fund. I have to fund my own 401K or IRA, as well as pay into the teacher's pension fund with my property taxes.
> you refuse to even consider other possibilities

what do you mean, exactly? that he didn't terrorize and kill people?

> there is still the question of his genesis as a terrorist and a murderer. Do you refuse to discuss that too?

i don't 'refuse', but it doesn't hold that much interest for me.
Fair enough.

"It always comes down to trust - how can I make sure that if I work with you, you're going to commit code that I won't have to do a ton of cleanup on?" - This is what I have the issue with - it's generally the difficult clients who won't trust you and have a general arrogance where they believe they are generally entitled to judge before you have written a single line of code. If you are going to have this attitude, try not to get hurt feelings when someone points out your shortcomings.
I did consider that. It’s directly addressed in my comment.
Are those the same, or indexed because they have a high probability to cause trouble?
In a similar vein, they have had an issue with their 'Spotlight' tool causing crashes in Chrome browsers whenever you try to drag and drop the play order in your profile.

I (and many others) reported this bug almost 2 YEARS AGO, but even as of a month ago, it was never fixed. I have no idea what their front end devs are up to, but when issues like the OP posted, and a simple drag/drop causes your entire browser to permanently lock up, then it doesn't bode well for the reputation of the development team.

EDIT: I believe 'Spotlight' is a paid for feature too (? Not 100% sure, but I have been a paying user of SC for years), so the fact that they may be ignoring bug fix requests for a feature used by revenue generating customers is even more perplexing.
Ah perhaps it changed then.

One of my biggest criticisms of most media sites is the lack of audio normalization. It's a bad user experience to be listening to a playlist and then suddenly get blasted with audio at a much higher volume.

I used to just run one on my computer, but it usually involves installing a pretty hacky/custom audio takeover program and isn't really accessible for most people.

Purists will probably complain about the audio being modified. I suppose you could either (optionally) enable it dynamically, or you could store separate tracks for the unchanged and changed audio. But I suspect that most people would prefer their audio to be normalized. I like to throw in a good multiband compressor when I have one too, but that may be a little too opinionated for the general use case.
I don't know why you care about anecdotes, but if you do:

I became a software developer because I though computers were interesting. My friends called me a geek. My father tried to stop me because he wanted me to work in a construction industry LIKE THE REAL MEN DO. My mother wanted me to become a lawyer because it is a respectful profession unlike being a nerd. For about 10 years my parents continuously tried to prevent me from using computers and told me to "go outside and play" etc.

So did I become a construction worker or a lawyer? Nope. Did I become a software engineer? Yes. How? Individual decision. I make my my own decision in life. Sometimes definitely influenced by others, but so what? If I get influenced by them it's my responsibility to handle it in the proper way and look for other opinions too. People pretend to be a weak and try to shift responsibility to other people/society deserve no pity.
It frustrates the hell out of me how long it takes to get an actual number which is often unacceptable. Big waste of time for both sides. The only rationale I can see behind this is that a lot of applicants will accept a low salary after investing a lot of time into the process.
I wish the definition of music were a bit more specific. If you look at it as something that is supposed to communicate an composer-intended emotional narrative, this is still a long way away from that kind of music. I wonder how well AI is doing these days in terms of writing compelling plays, or movie scripts, or short stories? There, the distance between author-intended emotional narrative and work product is a bit more immediate, but in my opinion that is still an essential element even in music.
I don't get the complaint over a volume control. I really just want a mute button, but given that in this case it's only audio there should just be a pause because why would I let a non-live sound file play without listening to it? I like all of my sound sources to play at full volume and then I just control the global sound with my system's volume control.
Sufficient guarantees are just a contract. The result is the same either way if something goes wrong -- you take the counterparty to court.
The nail in the coffin for me was when they started wiping out the massive collection of mashups that had been uploaded. Once they got in bed with the record labels and started taking down anything that even remotely resembled another song it all went to hell (things that, mind you, existed just fine on YouTube).
There should be a website for those activists and people executed for unjust reasons as a memorial so that people can remember and pay their respects, this should not be forgotten.

As well RIP Bassel.
Teachers are paid way, way more than soldiers or firefighters or refuse collectors or miners or meatpackers...
Why the emphase on `forced` and `today` ?
Blockchain Technology and Institutional Finance
Certainly that was the case in the past, and cultural inertia is real. This allows inequities and biases to persist over time. So although women are not forced to choose teaching, for example, there are more teaching role models who are women and culture nudges women towards that career.

This causes the persistent inequity in career pay that was caused in part by the original influx of women into the field when explicit sexism was rampant.
I don't see how you can possibly claim that society doesn't discourage women from pursuing "manly" careers. By the same token men are discouraged from pursuing "feminine" careers.

If a man says they are going to work on an offshore oil rig they are much less likely to get societal push back than a woman because it is seen as a normal thing for a man to do but not a woman.

If a woman is an elementary school teacher it is considered completely normal, whereas men are often looked down upon for doing so. The same happens with male nurses.

How can you read all the stories about sexual harassment in our industry and not think women are being discouraged from pursuing careers in tech?
>Because bill nye, leonardo di caprio and Al Gore told us it is 100% correct and they are the greatest scientists in human history.

Certainly no match for master scientists like James Inhofe, Christopher Monckton, or Donald Trump.
Why do discussions like this always avoid any talk about market value? Teachers are paid relatively less because its not hard to become a teacher and there are a lot of people willing to do it.
According to some discussion, this radio station was reactivated soon after Russia's invasion of Crimea. Before that it had not been broadcasting for a while.
Will this give me lisp in jupyther notebooks?
exactly this, kinda. https://onlyusedtesla.com/ I make like $100/day and have 1 online dealer who pays me $500/month. I do all the support on FB messenger. I am working on a better FAQ (have to hire a subject matter expert) on used tesla cars. I launched the MVP using WP, now gonna up the product stack to some new VueJS. I fooled a lotta people using WP for validation. I accept Stripe or Paypal. Main thing is im making money, may not be much but still. I have a google voice number for phone calls.
my wife does not know how to negotiate, multiple times have i said to her that she should fight for more, but she will not or does not know how to do it.

but there is also another side. women that i have worked with have used social norms to ask for more.
like in some conversation make a joke about how they deserve promotion and pay incrase, like hehe im such a great team member/worker i deserve a pay incrase, wink wink, and such comments multiple times. I never heard a man use this method. If its from a man then he asks to speak to you and directly says what he wants.
True, but it could support the idea that women don't negotiate for promotions as well or as often. Or that they are less likely to be promoted in general, for whatever reason. Whether the underlying reason is innate personality, socially-conditioned personality, or sexism, this seems like the simplest explanation for why the pay gap looks the way it does.
Personally I think the biggest caveat avoided "when job differences are accounted for" is the care of children. Women, by-and-large, really get hosed with the negative externalities of having children (time off, career halting, etc). Most Western countries are not generous or equitable by half, and the USA is downright savage.
If your web site is unusable without a GPU you have done something wrong.
They are certainly heavily pushed into those fields.
Studies have demonstrated that women who negotiate are less likely to get what they are want and are more likely to be punished for it.
This is the main reason Lisp has just never grown on me. I'm certain — and other responses demonstrate — that the readability can certainly be improved here. Yes, a programming language needs nothing more than parens. But dedicating a tastefully chosen set of sigils seems to make a lot of difference, in my opinion.
What is up with this forum? Why is everyone quoting the wrong post?
It's neither, just correcting misconceptions. It's tiring to constantly hear people saying we're "making progress" while we continue to perpetuate the same policy problems that have obviously caused issues for decades and decades.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the bill you mentioned only seems to deal with marijuana, which I don't think is how most people get drug felonies.
I went on to build a large financial services firm, but despite having paid everyone back, I ended up with a 2 year Federal prison sentence.

Ummm.... This sounds like a huge rationalization. "I'm sorry for breaking in and robbing your house. Despite giving the money back, I ended up going to jail."
I didn't say it had to be all or nothing. I'm asking to see ANY political progress towards decriminalizing drugs, particularly drugs besides marijuana, which isn't the drug that is generally causing these felony records.
Yea, this is nonsense. YouTube was founded in 2005 and acquired by Google in 2006. It was bought because the brand was better than "Google Video" at the time and that's pretty much it. Just about everything else about its success and state today is completely attributable to Google.

> even competitors like vine showed some success and innovation

what? Vine was shutdown precisely because it wasn't successful...
Oops, I was referring to "public-sector" as in the parent comment's reference.

Zeus | Full-stack Web Engineer | San Francisco, CA | On-site | Fulltime | zeusliving.com

At Zeus, we're changing the experience of renting a furnished home. Traditionally, renting a furnished home involves either paying exorbitant rates or a grueling, soul-sucking search on Craigslist. We believe the best way to fix this process is not to make another rental search site, but to own the entire stack so we can control the whole experience. From fast and easy booking on our website to a friendly welcome when you check in, Zeus ensures your stay is convenient and seamless.

Zeus has raised over $3M in seed financing from Bowery Capital, Initialized Capital, Floodgate, and Google Ventures. The Zeus founders have all had previous exits and have worked in real estate and technology for over 10 years.

We currently have a small engineering team of 3 so we are looking for a full-stack senior engineer who can run projects and help establish the foundation of our team. You'll primarily be working on web development. Your projects will be split between our public-facing website that our tenants and landlords use and the custom software that runs our internal operations.

We are looking for pragmatic engineers who communicate well and get things done. We like to ship things fast and iterate quickly. Our stack is AWS, Postgres, Rails, JQuery, and Bootstrap. It's not required you know any of these technologies as long as you're willing to learn.

Email me directly at joe@zeusliving.com if interested.
No, he is not. He is talking of the long-term side-effects of historic sexism.
> Mainly because the company doesn't know how much it wants to pay the offered candidate ahead of time.

Not true in all cases. In fact many big corporations and tech firms have specific roles slotted into specific tier, and each tier / job title has a very specific salary range. I once tried to negotiate my base at an IT shop (IT Division of Large Bank) and was shown an HR document that had various tiers and the low and high end of salary ranges. I thought I was getting stifled, but found out it was common knowledge within the company and was posted on the intranet (as I later discovered once I joined the company).

So when these corps put out a job listing, their HR and Hiring manager knows well ahead of time what is the max they are willing to pay as base salary (excluding other "benefits", 401K match etc which is standard across the board, with little difference again based on your tier / title) and in 9 out of 10 cases, they won't budge from that range.

Just that most such corps also go through recruiters and middle-men to do the hiring and these middle-men mostly withold the information and not tell you till the very end, when, like someone else has mentioned here, the candidate has invested a lot of time and efforts in the process and will likely accept a base salary at the lower end of the said salary range for the job title / tier.
I hate these kinds of statistics because all they say is "If we discount all the things creating the pay gap, basically no pay gap exists". Industries typically inhabited by women getting paid less? Predominantly male/female industries suddnely decreasing/increasing in average pay when women/men enter it? Women having a lesser likelihood of getting promoted? Women having a lower likelihood of getting hired for higher-paying positions (recruiter biases)? Those are some of the reasons
Men are typically raised from a young age that you do defines your worth.
Women are typically raised with the idea that they have value in and of themselves.
There are pros and cons to both sides of encouragement.
A good example is teaching. Teaching is an incredibly valuable job. It's also dominated by women. It also happens to be way, way underpaid.

Teachers are underpaid? According to whom? Mid-career teachers make roughly the median household income in the U.S. (and with summers off).
I understand this point of view if most of your programs are just doing arithmetic, but once you start using functions and procedures the differences are pretty minimal.
Utilities companies won't let you sell your own solar power. Why not?
Thanks. I wasn't familiar with this. That's definitely significantly cheaper (transaction cost wise at least), but even then doesn't leave enough room to profit on the transaction fee alone so I'm assuming they must be charging the schools for the service and partially subsidizing with the convenience fees.

I think that's a really good point, but I'm still going to contest it.

Options are derivatives, so they're different from cryptocurrencies, which are themselves analogous to equities. An option inherently has a date of expiration, whereas a cryptocurrency (even a fork) does not intrinsically have such a thing, and with an option you do not own the underlying unless you choose to exercise.
How bout a separate site for individuals who are falsely accused of heinous crimes(murder, rape) without evidence?
While I never said societies should implement full 100% free market capitalism, all the problems that you mentioned cannot exists in that system.

Free uninterrupted competition will destroy people/companies overpricing their services or force them to compete as well => lower their prices. Basically, offering poor/expensive service in capitalist system will naturally invite competition until the optimal price/value point has been reached.

But like I said, that works in pure free market capitalism, which no politician would ever want to try because it would take power from them and give it to the people and markets.
We ran our side-project, https://emailoctopus.com, for around 3 years before going full time. As a low-cost platform, our sales are quite low touch, so we'd be able to set up our marketing projects (Facebook ads, email campaigns) in the evenings and just let them run on a schedule.

Support was a little bit more tricky, however. The only solution we found here, other than outsourcing to an Upworker, was to try to minimise support. Make your help docs as useful as possible and spend time on improving error messages.

I would also advise you to switch to working on the project full-time as soon as you can afford to. Our growth went through the roof (we'd spent around 3 years getting to £1k MRR and tripled that in the first full-time month). Some reasons why? We could spend time with our customers and focus on improving our metrics, the stuff that you just can't automate away. We also began treating it more as a business and valued our own time spent on the project more, which resulted in increasing our prices and getting across our value proposition better.
Having a volume control on the soundcloud player doesn't preclude you from playing all sound sources at full volume and controlling the global sound with your system's volume controls.

It does, however, preclude me from turning down the Soundcloud player while keeping something else at a consistent volume.

But there's no reason to think that when you consider that jobs generally considered "women's work" require (relatively) less education, or aren't inherently dangerous or physically demanding. There is a glut of supply so the market value of those jobs drops.

Consider nursing which is relatively high paying precisely because of the education requirements, specialization, and difficulty of the work. Wages are even rising now because of the shortage. Market forces explain the salary distributions much easier than sexism collectively driving down prices against market forces.

That's not actually true within the US. Each song sample needs to be licensed individually. This becomes more complex when a song you want to remix contains samples of other songs. In general, this has become prohibitively expensive, which is why most modern songs only have a few "samples". Any company that does remixing as suggested above would have to manage the licensing in some way or pass on the risk to the users while still risking lawsuits from the music industry.
Only about 10% of people support legalizing harder drugs. They will remain illegal, and people will continue getting felonies.

When you say that women are "more agreeable" than men and "tend to care about people" more than men, you should consider that there is a social expectation that women have these qualities. You should also consider why the link between "lower paying jobs" and "jobs that women tend to choose" exists in the first place, and that "jobs that people of a certain gender tend to choose" is a self-reinforcing notion that limits your options no matter what your gender is.

As for why capitalists don't trip over themselves to hire only women to increase their profits, well, what makes you think they don't, at least in industries where margins are low and there isn't a strong counteracting social force? Take a look at the gender ratio in the notoriously low-margin garment industry, for example.

There has been a lot written on these topics, if you look around. You can learn a lot very quickly if you move beyond the realm of HN comments. =) That might make it easier to decide what to believe.
