Of course, and thank you for all of the work you've done. I'd love more than anything for Elixir to take off so there's more Elixir jobs out there, and educating developers is a key part of making the language more popular.

Sexism is present in those forces which guide girls and women toward those under-valued positions.

> I'd grant you that teachers are underpaid, but that isn't sexism

Sure; however a statement like "teaching is work befitting a woman" would be sexism.
You summarize the exact point of the article perfectly: women are paid less not because they have the same job and are paid less, but because they are offered different jobs which pay less. To address sexism we should focus on making sure women have the same opportunities to do the same job that men do, rather than just trying to make sure everyone in a certain job category is paid the same.

What about this is embarrassing? Do you fee that women don't deserve the same high paying jobs as men?

It seems you are demonizing an article for saying the exact same thing that you are...
>If simple payments was all that was envisioned we wouldn't have needed that.

I didn't say that. I said there was no code added with the intention of making payment channels possible. The claim that there was is based on nothing more than conjecture on what the intended purpose of the script was, and the dating of an undated email from Satoshi that was first made public in late 2013.

>There's was no "original plan" as much as there were discussions.

There were multiple statements by Nakamoto explaining how Bitcoin could and would scale. This was widely understood to be the scaling plan, as evidenced by what the Bitcoin Wiki said about scaling all the way up to late 2014. [1]

It's odd for you to describe your conjecture about the intended use for op codes and data fields as facts, while dismissing clear statements of intent by Nakamoto regarding how Bitcoin would be able to scale.

That NIH publication is interesting. Other than that these sources seem sketchy. Not to put a horse in the race, but if you're trying to argue that the milk lobby isn't responsible for the idea that milk is necessary for development, the people behind the food pyramid and the literal milk lobby are not the best sources to cite.
Salary ranges for public employees -- and in most cases, actual salaries -- are public record.

The idea is that you're looking for the effect caused by gender/sex, so you have to remove the contributions of other factors.

Theoretically, what the comment is saying is that women get paid less because they take more leave, not because they are women. Again, theoretically, if men took leave to the same extent, their salaries would also decrease to the same extent. That's the point of controlling for other variables, so that you can tease apart the individual effects they have before they're all muddled together.
No, it isn't. The world doesn't need to be designed to produce equality of outcome. Just equality of opportunity. Women may choose to negotiate less, and that's fine. They'll get paid less. If women want to choose to negotiate more, they can do that too, and be paid more.

If you want to argue that it's sexist that we socialize women to negotiate less, i'm all for that, though.
Perhaps teaching isn't quite as valuable as you think. Has that ever occurred to you?

Or, perhaps unctuous grandstanding should supplant market forces.
You don't see how all these surprising facts where people are doing things that go against their best interest, can be explained by irrational but strong forces such as sexism?
Well, imagine a scenario where women are initially not in the labor force. But they want to work, same as anyone

Then, one day, society changes. "You can work, but you can only be a nurse, teacher, or secretary".

You don't think there'd be a supply glut driving down wages in those areas? Suppressing them over a long period as women gradually enter the labor force there?

And by the same token, that society that says you can't be an engineer or a CEO because you are a woman - that severely punishes those women who do seek those jobs - you don't think women would respond to that? That even if they could produce more economic value, the societal pressure can override the capitalist tendencies of organizations and individuals to maximize wealth?

the answer is yes if you simply look at how many Chinese and Indians there are for entry-level software engineering jobs.

if the answer is "no" for women or any other particular group then it just proves the point of the article, i.e. there's barely a pay gap when factoring in exact job responsibilities.
As mentioned elsewhere, doesn't this article sort of refute the idea that women don't negotiate salary well if their pay for the same rank/role is just 1% different than that of their male counterparts?
I think most people probably don't need an entire AWS replacement, though. If you're running an e-commerce platform, you could run it on a VPS. It would be harder -
you'd have to do your own server management, figure out your own deploy strategy, run your own load balancers, do your own security, backups, etc. - but that's not "rebuild AWS from scratch" harder.

> image representations of audio are horrible representations of it

The spectrogram is just a series of FFTs taken over time; encoding it as a bitmap doesn't really change this, aside from precision issues.
Any other representation of the audio is derived from either the original time-domain signal or the FFT.

Indeed, humans can't reliably map raw waveforms or spectrograms to intuitive musical phenomena.
But a CNN should be able to derive meaningful features from these basic representations on its own.
Ha... the proof is so elegant!

I disagree. Women have the same opportunity to negotiate that men do. The fact that they choose to negotiate less is on them.

Do you think there are biological differences between genders ?

For example, is the fact that men tend to negotiate more a social construct, or is it based in biology?

Should society tax men for their behavior and redistribute the wealth to women?

I'm not arguing for any side by the way. Not sure what to think of this myself.

"People are paid according to the value they produce" grossly simplifies compensation. If we must generalize compensation: people are paid the lowest amount they will accept.

Supply and demand and value are central to the equation, but large variability in compensation among near identical profiles in the US and Canadian software sectors is an indicator that the individual isn't good at knowing their value.

Perhaps companies who hire more women are companies that pay less generally. They are hiring women because they are cheaper.

Perhaps jobs that pay less are less attractive to men who can be better paid at some other job, so these jobs attract more women.

If the above is true, then there is indeed a "pay gap", but it is not the consequence of any systemic sexism.

It takes me back! I wrote my first one in Z80 assembler a looong time ago as part of my first real job (~1990) which was used to error correct a satellite channel (bandwidth about 19.2 Kbit/s IIRC)!

It used lots of table lookups to make things run at a reasonable speed, but the tables couldn't be too big since there was only an 8K EEPROM. The Z80 code only did d=3 codes (so could correct 1 error or detect two).

Working out how to solve a quadratic equation over GF(256) in Z80 assembler was my personal highlight!

> And job differences are individual decisions.

What? So you became a (I assume) programmer due to yourself alone? You didn't have any help learning how to use a computer from your parents, you didn't have any encouragement of your peers to continue, you weren't influenced at all by society and how it favors certain behaviors, no good teachers helped you learn the requisite math or science or critical thinking? It was all entirely a decision made in a vacuum?

Your viewpoint is far too reductionistic.

> Women are generally less inclined to negotiate then men

This blanket statement seems sexist. Some are inclined and some are not.

Besides, as soon as one leaves the world of small business, the corporations stick to salary bands attached to specific titles. The variations within the bands are usually driven by longevity with the company as well as performance reviews. It makes things easier in HR department, and creates a paper trail on compensation decisions in case someone decides to get litigious later.

I don't see how it's "embarrassing" for this article to be on HN. It addresses your point exactly in the first few paragraphs:

"These numbers do not show that the labour market is free of sex discrimination. However, they do suggest that the main problem today is not unequal pay for equal work, but whatever it is that leads women to be in lower-ranking jobs at lower-paying organisations."

Yeah I didn't word it too well. I was just trying to say that this example made me question if the ceiling for normal 2nd graders is really basic multiplication and division, as is taught in public school curricula.

That makes it worse for Coinbase. They could be held liable for losses incurred because people couldn't access their BCH to sell at the top.

This is the sort of thing which may involve Coinbase in litigation over whether SEC and CFTC rules on "fails to deliver" apply to them. When a real broker does something like this, they're on the hook for customer losses.

I don't get why this article embarrasses you. Surely it's important to figure out exactly where the sexism resides, so we know how to fix it.

If the pay gap almost disappears when accounting for job differences, then the problem can't be solved at the workplace. It's too late at that point.

Further study might reveal that women choose less profitable majors at University, for example. If that were the case, the problem won't be solved at University either, it would be too late at that point.

Further study could look at how women are socialized at high-school, middle-school and so on, until we find the cause. Complaining about people who study that stuff because you think they are insufficiently committed to the cause is counter-productive.
how is doing time "repaying a debt to society"? Seems to me incarceration is a proving ground to show you're no longer dangerous, _then_ one can begin to repay whatever injustices occurred?

Do you agree that negotiation skills don't matter for most jobs? And do you agree that people should be compensated based on the value they bring to a job?

Because sexism or no, I think it's a tremendous problem when people get ahead for completely tangential reasons to their job performance and skills.
"taught by society"

feel free to source that in a way that can be proven. The assertion is just pseudo intellectual excuse making. Society is NOT telling women to NOT be sanitation workers. Society is not telling women not to work on offshore oil rigs. Society is not telling women not to be surgeons but to in fact be veterinarians. Society and "gender role" excuses don't hold up to reality. Time to accept that the women you know, or imagine you know make their choices, largely based on their own interests.

You're welcome to try to convince women to become sanitation workers rather than paralegal interns in climate controlled offices. Good luck on that.

Have you seen the 2hour+ looping video phenomenon? My friends children introduced me to this. Their favourite videos are extended looping videos of the same 1-minute content. Songs, or funny moments, whatever. Their favourite YouTube activity is to see the same thing over and over and over for hours. They react nearly the same way to the same thing for the whole time. I'd never seen anything like it, but their recommender feed was full of them. I guess the algorithm works.

The article hints at this, but doesn't really point it out, when they talk about children living to see the same kind of thing repeatedly, to try and figure it out.

I'd be really curious to see if this actually helps the learning brain, or hijacks it, preventing deeper understanding through varied examples.
I don't know what to tell you about that part.

One of the channels I watch the most is Ashens. It's a British man playing with toys / retro goodies (and loosely reviewing them) on a brown couch and the videos last up to 30 minutes.
It is not taught by society, it is genetics.

In such traditional, Catholic society as Poland women often choose the same careers as men: IT specialists, managers, business owners. In a progressive such as Norway they much more often choose careers such as nurse or teacher.

The reason behind this is economics: in Norway teacher or nurse salary guarantees pretty decent standard of living. In Poland these are very low pay jobs. So, women when given a choice will choose traditional women professions because that's their nature.

In fact I think women are more hurt by the opposite: the feminist movement that teaches them that they should want the same things men want. And the one thing that is virtually guaranteed to make women happy, that is having a child is discouraged as being "relict of patriarchal oppression" or something like that.
> If you can't prove me men teachers are being paid more, your argument is invalid.

Teaching as a profession is underpaid, and I don't think that teaching being dominated by women is a coincidence.
I hate this to the point that I just want to start a job listing site where mentioning a salary range is required to list. There is no excuse for it. I can understand that you may want to keep a range depending on certain skills/experience but if you cannot provide a ballpark range, you should not list a job position. Plain and Simple.

On a similar note, kudos to employers who list a salary range specially in the whoishiring posts. I always upvote every post that lists a salary range.
Maybe it is sexism. But I'm not convinced its sexism against women.

In our society men are mostly valued for their profession and how much they make. Women generally aren't. So of course men try to get into higher paying and higher status careers. They spend more effort to move up the ladder. Women don't have that same pressure. And I'm not sure that's a bad thing, for them.
I'm not really pretending, it's a scientific fact proven empiricaly, but by all means go a head and believe in fairies if you want.
Fun to read, well written, but I am not a big fan of the "oversampling" based explanation, as you start to think about functions on real values that way, while it is really finite field maths that underpins the working of these codes.

Also, Reed Solomon is not a particularly great forward error correcting code. They are optimal as "erasure codes" (i.e, you can lose some data, but the remaining data cannot have changed), but as error correcting codes, LDPC codes / Turbo codes outperform them a lot: e.g. satellite communication (DVB-S2), hard drive error correction all switched to LDPC's.
Passive "aggression".

> Teaching is an incredibly valuable job.

Almost no job is paid the full value it produces. There's always a split between the buyer of the job (whoever is paying the wage) and the seller of the job (who is receiving the wage). If the job-buyer didn't get any value, why would they buy it?

The question is: How is the split determined? Basically it's about negotiating leverage. Someone who is nearly irreplaceable (like Koby Bryant or Paul Buchheit) has a lot of leverage and can demand a lot. Someone who can be replaced easily has little leverage and gets a lower wage.

The problem with teaching isn't that it's female dominated. It's that too many people want to be teachers, because they enjoy teaching. Also because teaching doesn't measure the output of workers it's harder for the great ones to demand higher wages; they just get the average, like the bad teachers.
