That depends on the marginal value of a dollar. If you don't have any money, a rational person would take the first $1,000 since "some food" is better than "a 10% chance of some food".
Yeah, honestly amazed that somebody would straight faced make the argument that not taking time off to raise your children in order to spend more time at work (which is a perfectly fine choice, I'm not arguing it's not!) is somehow sticking it to the man.
The idea it's somehow wrong or shameful to share a house with your parents is a very culture-bound one that doesn't have many objective advantages.

GP's argument already does what you propose. In fact, the argument is, "Now that the workplace has changed (in inviting women to be committed workers), why hasn't the home changed yet?"

By making this issue about "Moms" getting a fair shake by getting day care support from work, there may be the consequence of prolonging child care as being solely within the mother's domain.
You tout it as an upside that it can't be copied.

>Isn't that just because there are higher incomes in the blue states, and isn't it a democratic policy to tax higher incomes and transfer wealth to those with lower incomes?

I'm not American so correct me if I got the wrong conclusion from the article, but the changes in this case only lead to higher taxation in wealthy areas that also have high state income taxes, so it's not a redistribution from wealthy to less wealthy regions, which I agree sounds like democratic policy, it is a distribution from rich blue state regions to the on average poorer states.

This seems like a very important difference, because as the article points out, it means that the well off in those poorer states aren't actually affected (hence the motivation to move).

This does not sound like stereotypical democratic policy. It does not seem fair that wealthy people in already high tax environments pay even more taxes for political reasons, than well off people in red states.
The health concerns mostly related to air born nano-materials dust. We plan to distribute the product in a way that minimizes these concerns. Current CNT producers reduce this risk by selling their products in solution or pre-dispersed into a host matrix (like plastic) so no dust can be created. Also, morphology plays a big role in health. If the cnts produced look like needles, this is similar to asbestos. Not good. If you produce CNTs that look more like spaghetti, they cannot penetrate tissue and are less of a concern. These are the type that we are focused on.
Are you asking why having children is important, or why it's bad that women (and not men) often have to choose between children and career advancement?
My employer sponsored our last move, including packing and unpacking. The staff was really great, careful and we had hardly things that broke. A few plants lost leaves (but basically these were excluded from the contract by my employer, so the company kindly offered to move the plants without any guarantees, I guess packing them better would have been time consuming and thats what my employer didn't want to pay for).

A colleague hired the very same company for their move (they had bought a house, so it was not part of an agreement for starting a new work contract).

They sent a team of workers, no one spoke more than a few words of German (my coworker is a kind and open-minded person, he was surely not exaggerating). A lot of things didn't make the trip as a whole. All losses were covered by the companies insurance, but it was a pain making all the claims.
Fat of the Land album hit #1 in the US at a time when "techno" was absolutely the catch-all term used to describe dance-oriented rock/electronic music. Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Prodigy, Moby all fell under this moniker in the popular press, but so did Madonna, U2, and David Bowie, who had also released electronic-tinged albums at the time.

Lots of '90s bands labeled as "grunge", "shoegaze" or "Britpop" weren't any of those things, but for the benefit of the reading public, it was easier to connect them to
a "scene" using those terms.

Not OP but almost every one of these studies takes the total sum of money men make vs the total sum of money women make and compares it that way without taking into account the job title, years of experience, time off, etc.
The takeaway is that compensations are not perfectly aligned with whatever model was used in the study. Which is expected because compensations were not set using that model, so they won’t be exactly the same. And at that point, if the model is calibrated for everage compensation to be the same, it’s obvious that some people will get compensations below the prediction of the model and some people will get compensations above the prediction of the model.
If it's additionally to their regular compensation?
Finally, equality!

If I saw that code at my company, I'd ask why someone building a rest api for web-services had to iterate through a 10000*10000 2D array while calling a method of every single cell. This isn't a use case I've seen in my 10 year career thus far.

Also, you have to understand that saving 1 or 2 milliseconds isn't important when compared to getting software built faster. For the typical use case, optimizing a for-loop like this for in-memory data isn't going to change the total performance of your program by even 0.5%. This is what so many people just don't understand. For modern web based applications, 99.9% of the time spent is doing IO, either hard-drive, data storage, or across the network. Optimizing those calls is FAR more important, than wasting time trying to save 1 millisecond in a for-loop which is iterating over 100 in-memory objects.

This is where the understanding that the practical reality of building software for a real business is very different to theoretical examples drummed up by computer scientists on discussion boards.

I see so many engineers trying to make their in-memory code faster by parallizing it, saving (if they're lucky) 1 or 2 milliseconds, but making their code far less maintainable and potentially introducing bugs, while the users wouldn't notice any practical difference in the app. Meanwhile, the app really does feel slow, because some numb-nuts made a call to some api and blocked the ui thread.

Many people aren't comparing to FAANG companies: they are comparing to other places they actually want to work.

FAANG companies aren't paying that much because they get so much more value out of employees: they are paying that much more because that's how much extra they have to pay to convince people to take the jobs they are offering.

Hailstorm wasn't really the same thing. It positioned Microsoft as a centralized identity provider, with MS holding all the user data and everyone else just connecting to proprietary Microsoft online services to check if the user was who they said they were. Kind of like Facebook Login, but built around 2000s-era-trendy technologies like XML and SOAP instead of JavaScript and JSON.

It's hard to see how Hailstorm wouldn't have run into the same issues people have today with Facebook Login, the big one being that it's maybe not awesome to have a gigantic, notoriously ethically-challenged competitor sitting directly between you and your users.

Actual reports from actual users are priceless to build what provides value actually worth paying for.

All of the replies to this thread focus on what the parents or children can do individually. That doesn't scale, the focus should be on regulating the major platforms.

These platforms already have processes in place to automatically and manually scan for adult content and copyright. Google has image search. This should be extended to protecting the privacy of minors.

"Is a child in this picture?" sounds like a classic computer vision problem.
This is all about scaling. You want to do 10x the customers with 2x the employees, so that the business finally starts to make money. The service level that took 10-15% of your resources back then would take the majority of your resources now; the same % of your resources now is much less hours per customer.
> Our breakthrough in manufacturing cost enables battery manufacturers to use the optimal amount, allowing electric cars to safely recharge in 10 minutes or less.

Well that's half the battle. The other half of the problem is delivering that amount of energy in 10 minutes, particularly in areas that are already maxing out their capacity on hot summer days.
I think it's a moral conflict, but not because of the price strictly -- but because of where that money could be used instead.

For example, my down payment could buy my Mom's house, my Dad's house, and my brother's house. The conflict is -- how can I spend that much money on myself? Instead, I could retire both of my parents, and set my brother up for success at the cost of continuing my current life as usual.

It doesn't seem like a huge burden to me to continue my life as usual. And it would be completely life changing to the rest of my family (the people I care most about) to allocate my money in a different way.

On an infinitely smaller scale -- this is similar to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. How much money should you invest now to help people in the future vs giving people money now?

When I was 20, I was giving my family 10s of thousands of dollars a year. The cost of that was that I delayed my career advancement to the point I could be making an extra $100-200k per year now. Sure, I'll get to that point in 2 years time.

But was it really worth it to spend $30k to pay for some weddings and refrigerators and medical expenses 8 years ago to miss out on $300K+ in earning potential over that time period? No. Definitively.

Is it worth it to give my family $200k now when I hope to turn that into a million+ in 5 years? I don't think so. How do they see it? Well, they want the $200k now. Maybe that type of vision is why we're in different situations. Who knows?

For me it depends on the book - usually if its a novel, the kind I would used to buy in paperback, I get the kindle version. Its much more convenient to read the kindle in different places without having to decide beforehand which book you're going to bring. Also, if I just have my phone, its a good alternative to the other things you do on your phone.

The hardware kindle is excellent for travel since I can bring the whole library with me. If I'm going on a trip I'll buy a book or two to keep me occupied, and all I have to worry about is the device itself.

There are also a number of public-domain classics that are either free or insanely cheap on kindle, like Zane Grey or Shakespeare, so for those its like why not?

Having a large collection of print books also implies you have stable home environment or some place to keep them. For readers who are either transient or nomadic, then kindle has a lot of obvious advantages.

For the kind of book I would buy in "hardcover" I still go paper. These include specific favorites, art books, graphic novels, coffee table books. Many books quite simply do much better in print media, especially ones that are highly visual.

There is also much to be said for browsing old boutique bookstores, since they contain a lot of stuff that wouldn't be on Kindle at all, and have a lot of deals.

They may also be referring to the more flexible and precise capture clauses of C++ lambdas versus Rust's coarser move v non-move closures.

The examples you cite are exceptions, not the rule.

Most Google engineers still work in CA, and it's easier to get hired for a role at HQ because there are always openings for all kinds of positions. For the smaller offices, they might only be hiring infra or only hiring L6+, etc.

For movies, think about what you'd do as a young actor trying to get a major role. Would you live in Atlanta where a handful of films are shot every year, or would you live in LA where hundreds of opportunities come up every month?
It's not too complicated - most big cities in CA have simply not built enough housing to keep up with population growth.

Mass transit in/out of urban centers like SF/LA are very underdeveloped, so it makes it really difficult to live in a cheaper area outside of the city and bear the commute everyday.
Lottery tickets cost you money up front and have a defined possible upside. Neither of those is true of equity.

Using aggregate measures like that rolls up the wrong numbers into a final metric. It tells me that the men who were underpaid had a lesser gap between what they were being paid and what they should be paid, or that the men who were overpaid were overpaid to a greater extent.

They needed to compare the number of men who were underpaid as a proportion of all men to the number of women who were underpaid as a proportion of all women.

Using bum-pulled numbers, your company has 1000 employees, 667 are men, and 333 women, and they all do pretty much the same job. Your payroll is $100M, and 70% of it goes to the male employees. The mean pay for men is $105k, and the mean pay for women is $90k. Mean pay is $100k--let's say this is fair pay for the work. Overall, the men are overpaid, and the women underpaid.

But the mean is a fool's game; the median is more telling. Now say 445 men get $90k, and 222 get $135k. 2/3 of men are underpaid. Now let's say 222 women get $101k, and 111 get $68k. 1/3 of women are underpaid.

On a per-person basis, a man working for the company is twice as likely to be underpaid as a woman, but the amount by which they would be underpaid is much less. Going by the aggregate numbers, one could say "men at Company X are overpaid, compared to the women" and then any given underpaid man might not even realize they are being underpaid, thanks to the misleading statistic. When one of the $68k-paid women complains (naturally, as the worst-off of the bunch), and the company analyzes its own payroll at a more detailed level, it realizes that men are more likely to be underpaid than women (and also that increasing its payroll by 8% would make no-one underpaid).
I turned 30 in the fall, married, 3 kids. Wife stays home. I make good, but not great, money. I own my house outright, and have a stock portfolio worth roughly as much as the house.

For people in tech, that is all attainable. The trouble is that people listen to what the culture tells them to do, rather than assessing their options and doing what makes sense.

If you take your advice from people who benefit from you being in debt and barely making ends meet, then that is where you will end up.
I am surprised so few interpreters are written in garbage collected languages, which would give the interpreted language a GC for free.

There have been Smalltalk implementations written in other Smalltalk implementations which have used this approach. In those cases, the GC is very appropriate for the language implemented.

Handing out stock is taxable to the employee at the moment it's handed out, even though (for non-public companies) they can't sell it. It'd be ruinous to give an employee $1M of startup stock, since they'd owe around 400k tax on it.

So the standard is to hand out options with a strike price equal to the current fair market value. The employee eventually gets the upside, but not the downside.

If a leader is worried about their organization having infra for the sake of infra, then they should also worry that their user-facing product has features for the sake of features—- features that complicate an interface and don’t help a user get their job done. The solution is PMs, UX designers, and engineers who know to ask “why?” when a project is proposed.
