"$3.27 less per hour than men. The median hourly wage is $15.67 for women and $18.94 for men.

The gender wage gap is a measure of what women are paid relative to men. It is commonly calculated by dividing women’s wages by men’s wages, and this ratio is often expressed as a percent, or in dollar terms. This tells us how much a woman is paid for each dollar paid to a man. This gender pay ratio is often measured for year-round, full-time workers and compares the annual wages (of hourly wage and salaried workers) of the median (“typical”) man with that of the median (“typical”) woman; measured this way, the current gender pay ratio is 0.796, or, expressed as a percent, it is 79.6 percent (U.S. Census Bureau 2016). In other words, for every dollar a man makes, a woman makes about 80 cents."

It's meaningless to compare different positions pay to each other. "Typical" men vs "typical" women doesn't tell us anything about potential discrimination.
The most obvious example of this in daily life is through airlines, where the difference is pretty transparent and you get night-and-day better service by being a loyal customer.

With top status with AA and UA (EXP and 1K), you connected to U.S.-based very senior phone agents right away, who always make sure to take care of any issue that arises. 50min delay on your AA flight? No problem, sir, we are rebooking you on Alaska so you don't miss your dinner meeting. (Real example from last weekend)

Customers are put in different levels in the loyalty program, with the top level getting to pre-board the flight, getting free upgrades to any empty seat in business, getting many other extra perks that make flying a joy. You get a smile, a thank you, and a free drink when flying in the back. Within a status level, customers are oftentimes ranked by how much revenue they bring to the airline. (On AA, upgrades are ordered by Elite Qualifying Dollars the flyer has spent in the prior year)

Contrast that with the experience the vast majority of people have flying the very same airlines: say the words United Airlines to your average flyer and it brings back memories of Dr. Dao, of cramped seats in the back middle row, of not being able to bring a carry-on because they're in basic economy, of having to gate-check your bags, etc.

At the end of the day, frequent flyers bring the vast majority of profits to airlines, so it makes sense to focus all efforts on catering to them vs. the average person. The cheap seats have very low margins, oftentimes negative… so it just infeasible economically to give everyone good service.
So is grandstanding by people with well paid, cushy as hell jobs who are happy to point fingers.

My mother always told me "When you point a finger at others, you have three fingers pointing back at you." What are these people personally doing to ensure that they are respecting women, creating the right kind of social climate at work, etc?

Because all the policy in the world can't per se fix a shitty culture. Shitty culture is as shitty culture does and it is perpetuated by every single individual in the organization and their individual choices.

I'm not impressed with people who point fingers. They are usually people wanting someone else to fix a problem so they don't have to actually change.

Why is it $40 billion a year? I'm not a Musk fan per say but it is the closest analog... you can buy almost 2 SpaceX's (the entire company) a year for that and I highly doubt modernizing the nuclear infrastructure is that much more complicated than R&D on a brand new space company.

Some of us don't necessarily disagree we need to spend money on defense. But we think the amount being spent is way more than should be reasonably necessary to get the job done.

People like to criticize people who want to cut military budgets never asking if maybe we should just fire a bunch of people at the top who are inflating all the costs and replace them with people incentivized to get us more for less money.

Wow GoDaddy and Uber? I guess for some people a company is just a paycheck.
Fossilizations happen more so because companies treat manager as a promotion rather than a separate track for engineers who want to focus on people. You have managers who are used to solving problems with a skillset that's probably been outdated by the pace of technology, who no longer have the time to invest in keeping current since they're essentially wearing two hats now and they have more going on in their lives.

I love to drink water from the tap as a kid. Then at some point I discovered carbonated bottled water and tap water started to taste bad for me. It never changed back. Even if I buy non-carbonated bottled water it tastes as bad as tap water. I can easily drink tap water after it's boiled (warm or even cool). Might be psychological.

I used to be dislike the idea of being an engineering manager and wanted to stay in the code. Interestingly enough, having children completely changed my perspective on management. Some important management skills - e.g. patience, delegation (babysitters!), investing in someone's overall productivity and long-term success (Schools! Extracurriculars! College!), prioritization (family comes first!), sometimes cleaning up after someone else's messes (with kids, literally!) - come from being a parent.

I'm half joking, but only half! I believe part of being a good engineering manager is having had hands-on software development experience so as to better keep a check on velocity, code quality, and overall tech decision-making. Much in the same way, I feel like I can be a good parent and can teach my kids how to process their world because I've lived it before.
Perhaps, perhaps not. The schematics don't seem to be available, but let's imagine there is a stage in there which looks roughly like this:

|\ C |\
| >--||-+-----| >
|/ | |/
<
< R
<
|
V

If we simply remove/desolder components C and R, we should be able to then install hookup wires for a potentiometer (which includes the C also).

It looks like this particular board has tiny SMT components, which make this sort of thing a pain in the but.

The methods might be a bit more sophisticated now, but this has been going on for many years now.

A single call center may take calls for hundreds of consumer retail products, but if you call the 800 number for your high annual fee, high-balance card, you will absolutely be higher in priority than people who called about their pre-paid starter credit card. Asking for an operator won't change that.

More recently, the last 15-20 years or so, it became much more common for a "data dip" to happen when you call, or when data is provided, so the system can look you up and make intelligent routing decisions. If you've called before with a particular phone number, there's a decent chance the system already knows who you are and will prioritize you accordingly unless you provide account numbers suggesting otherwise.

Call centers (whether in-house or farmed out) are high-volume, low-margin enterprises. Everyone is frustrated dealing with them, and they prioritize reducing that frustration for high-value customers. It's definitely unfair at times (an errant $500 charge that would be trivial for someone rich could be devastating for someone poor, but the rich person's call will be taken first) but that's just how the business is.

I just finished reading the book "Here Comes Everybody" by Clay Shirky (circa 2008). In the book he mentions this very "announcement."

What's fascinating, per the book, is Linux was one of the first significant byproducts (if you will) of (internet) connectivity and how that enabled easy group / team formation.

In the case of Linux, its growth helped to further connectivity, etc. That is, in creating Linux, it helped spread Linux.

Great problem to have ;)

>Who doesn't want to live above a grocery store?

People who don't like pests. People who don't like truck deliveries early in the morning or late at night.

Grocery stores are a mild example and I get the point you're making, but there are downsides to living above one. I've met people who listed one of those reasons for not living above one when I lived in Brooklyn.

It's mostly the pests though. I know a couple of people who lived above restaurants and grocery stores who said never again because of the amount of roaches that get into their place.

Would these people refuse to drink water 200 years ago? If not, they would most likely die. It's almost as if there is some evolutionary element at work here...bad decisions take you out of the gene pool the rest of us are splashing around in. Unfortunately at this day in age, we find ways to keep these humans alive, and empower them to share their suicidal preferences via the internet.
It is hard to provide specific criticisms of a work one does not understand, and which makes no testable claims. If it is just one reviewer, then he may be missing the point, but if it is everyone, you have to give some thought to the possibility that it is you who is mistaken.

In principle, someone could be both right and incomprehensible, but there's no way forward unless one can get some people to both understand and agree with you. Even then, you could end up with one faction thinking it is on to something profound, while another thinks they are mistaken, as is happening with Integrated Information Theory at the moment.
The question in my mind is how can you point a telescope when the accuracy is that high. A heavy truck parked 100 meters away probably deforms the ground locally enough to change things.

Like what? Sugar increases volume of water.
Yes, was thinking about that. But is that really viable for regular joe?
It strikes me instead as rather trivial.

Burnside's Lemma, a fairly elementary result in group theory / combinatorics, is regularly used to compute probabilities by enumerating symmetries of the system under study. It's not a logical stretch at all to extend this to continuous / infinite-dimensional systems, and I think most theoretical physicists would be aware of this.
I pretty much only drank soda until I was in my 30s and started to have problems with reflux and heart palpitations from caffeine. Now I have a cup of coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day. I can’t even drink a full can of coke any more without feeling a little nauseous.

xtopdf creates business reports & simple PDF ebooks. Supports 20+ input formats. Works on CLI, desktop and Web UIs, on Linux, MacOS and Windows. Some well-known orgs in US, UK, NL use it.
I think a lot of organisations (and people) fall into the trap of thinking of an engineering manager as a more senior tech lead, when in fact they are very different jobs with very different modes of working.

As soon as you start taking on managerial work, your development productivity starts to fall rapidly. I've never found a happy medium, nor have I seen others achieve it. People who try to do both quickly settle on ~80% of one and ~20% of the other. Which is fine if you acknowledge that you can only do ~20% of the other, and that the shape of it is likely to look very different to when you were spending 100% of your time on it.

As others have mentioned, if you are an engineering manager and you still want to dedicate some of your working time to development, you have to take yourself out of the critical path. Nobody wants to hold up a release because you were working on an important part of it and you've been constantly interrupted all week with managerial work and meetings.

Instead, pick things that are either tiny or decoupled from the release process. Things like refactoring, non-critical bug fixes, documentation, tests, spikes. These are the kinds of things that won't fall apart if your development productivity is unpredictable and the kinds of things that are easy to put down and pick up again. As an engineering manager, you're interrupt-driven which is incredibly disruptive for focus. If you do write code, then it has to be the code that works within those constraints, or you'll end up being a blocker for the rest of the team and your managerial work will suffer as well.
