I don’t give a shit whether it’s fair or not. I’ll do whatever I can to help my children just as most parents would.
It's not the same as birth, but it is the same as "we have a new child in our lives and we need time to bond and learn to live together" which is really what parental leave is all about. When my wife gives birth (I have a lot of kids), only the first couple weeks are really about recuperation from the birth itself. Most of that time together is about getting established in new routines. It's affording new families time to take their first steps as a family. That applies in both birth and adoption.

You could have a Captcha to force that the person on the calling ewnd is a person and not a computer. That would increase the costs for telemarketeers.

Or the system could ask for information that someone who knows the recipient might know but a telemarketeer might not know, e.g. "What is the 2nd letter of my first name?"

There are more specific ways to deal with that issue besides prop 13 though, like homestead exemptions.
Sure, but there's zero data to suggest either of those are a factor at Google. That's just moving the goal post.
This is a good hint, but it's not enough information. Specifically, the jobs where the pay imbalance is likely greatest also would also likely have a more skewed gender ratio. But we can't know, because the article doesn't say, and just trusts Google's word on everything.
I thought the rest of the post made it quite clear that the first sentence was satirizing what the corporate overlords want us to think.
> I actually have walked away from offers where the company was "on AWS" but all they were doing was running a bunch of EC2 instances and hosting everything themselves and expected their developers to be on call for infrastructure failures.

In addition to wasting engineer time and sanity, this is bad for the bottom line. Hardware fails, and if new hardware doesn’t cause systems to auto failover, you lose revenue, customers and trust. If you don’t autoscale, your service degrades when you need it most and you lose new customers and business when you get spiky load.

With all the advances in things like fargate and Aurora Serverless, it doesn’t make sense not to use these. The baseline cost is ~$200/mo for a setup that doesn’t go down when hardware fails or get slow when you get an influx of users. And it’s straightforward to set up.

The advantage is that I can see clearly what is clickable. For example, I did not realise the relative timestamps ("a day ago", "an hour ago") were links until I saw your altered screenshots with the underlines.

- All links underlined

- All non-blue links underlined

The main thing is that Google prefers to downlevel people who have external experience. I (male) had 5 years of experience, still was hired at L3. I know many others who have the same story.

So the L4 person probably had some better story/negotiation which allowed them to start at L4. It of course could be bias.

It was really frustrating for me to be at the same level as new grads, though on reflection, I was not at a the same level as other L4 employees around. Some transparency around these processes I think could help candidates a lot.

I think the bigger issue is that new-grad phds are almost always hired at L4. They are often less experienced at software engineering than someone with a bachelors and a few years of experience. So unless the person is being hired into an area that actually makes use of their phd, it seems that Google is just willing to pay for the title.

It's not that I disagree, with any of your points. I think they're all valid. I do think most people use the term strongly typed, where they mean statically -and- strongly typed.

I personally don't fret about it unless we get into specific details about these notions. I do especially like your (d), which many people often overlook when designing programs. An example would be to use a String as the Id in a DB, but not wrap the String in a stronger type to represent the Id, thus not getting the advantage of static type checking by the compiler. So there are definitely areas where this conversation can lead to better advantages of different languages.

For example, in Rust declaring a type to be a `struct Id(String);` would cause no overhead to be associated with the Id in terms of memory allocation to that of just a String. Not all languages can say that, thus we could also get into a fun conversation about the overhead associated with the type system itself. All fun topics.
Generally, I agree that you should treat shares as worthless and negotiate your base salary, the only exception that I can see is blockchain space where you can often get tokens that are already tradable. This basically means that you can sell anytime (ofc. you still have vesting period etc).

I would say this makes it more likely for people to be underpaid, especially when factoring in hours worked. See SpaceX for another example.
I don't care about any of those automated reminders (most come via text and email anyway). In my solution they'd also go straight to voicemail which is fine.

> Kelly Ellis, a former Google engineer and one of the plaintiffs in the gender-pay suit against the company, said in a legal filing that Google hired her as a Level 3 employee — the category for new software engineers who are recent college graduates — in 2010 despite her having four years of experience.

I worked for around 4 years before joining Google and was also hired as an L3. I'm male.

Two of my new grad friends were hired as L3's at Google too but make like 100k more than I do in total compensation. One is male and one is female.

I'm not saying there isn't sexism but I'm not really convinced by this example. It's pretty common that people get "demoted" when coming in from other companies.

If we were talking about horse racing, I’d agree with you, as you can evaluate the odds of an outcome.

The reality is that in business as an employee you’re ability to project the odds is limited at best. You simply don’t have the information to make that calculation.

Obviously there’s a spectrum of risk, which is why most people don’t work for minimum wage plus options. But it’s pretty clear that in a world that hasn’t seen a tech recession in a long time, employees without the perspective of living through 2000 may not appreciate what can happen, and will happen again.
Women in America are fighting for a fraction of what much of the developed world already has in place with regard to things like paid maternal leave, so yes, you can think like a manager and say “why is this my problem?”, but the future seems eager to realize the importance of looking at problems like this more holistically, and to suggest workplaces don’t have a larger role in the solution feels misguided when viewed through that lens.

Also, marital status has no place in this conversation, IMHO. Any corporation that would speak to the problems of “wives” being solved by/with their “husbands” is living in the last century. You can disagree, and corporations might as well, but that argument won’t wear well with time.

It increases the money supply because instant access deposits are counted as money. My thought experiment isn't strictly correct, as the money lent by our friend isn't going to meet the criteria for instant access deposits, but the principle is the same. The "magic" thing about banks is that when you lend them money, it still counts as money that you have.

The workings in your example if I am a bank:

Me: $50, customer 1: $50, customer 2: $50. Total $150.

Customer 1 deposits $5 with me and I lend it to customer 2.

Me: $50 (my reserves are unchanged), customer 1: $50 (because for the purposes of money supply, the deposit still counts as their money). Customer 2: $55. Total $155.

The counter intuitive bit is the fact that money supply treats deposits as money.

Oh, sure, if you're willing to go to unsafe techniques, you can go straight to a template JIT as well. But, for us, the balance is important, and safety is probably even more important than further wins in performance (which we can still easily get with algorithm-level optimisations before doing anything unsafe).

If a rational person was given this choice 100 times it would be rational to always chose 10% chance of $1 million, but is having 10k cash in your pocket 10 times as valuable as having 1k in your pocket when compared to having 0 in your pocket?

Money has diminishing returns and when you're potentially going to be below water when it comes to mortgage, food, utility, even the occasional vacation for sanity - then a smaller guaranteed sum can be more valuable than a larger expected sum.

As a single father with sole custody of 3 children, yes, I take issue. But I am not surprised, it is a pervasive and socially acceptable bias.

I work in the student loan industry and there are loans specifically for single mother's... father's need not apply. It bothers me every time I see it.

Heck, why my daughter registered an American Girl doll, they sent me an "id card" declaring me the proud mother of my daughter and her doll. So I guess I should be happy to be a mom.
>when some people at a company (outside of C-level) are making 300k and others are making 32k there is a good reason to be aggressive about fixing pay disparity

Why? That's far too simplistic. Are you comparing e.g. a senior engineer to a part time janitor? Why should their pay be closer?

Look at the position and demand for it. Comparing salary without context is a waste of time (unless you truly believe market forces shouldn't be relevant, but I think you'll have a hard time convincing people in the US to join your side.)
It isn't really a matter of being "smart". Even investors, who have detailed financial models, decades of data for comparables, get preferences and often board representation to protect their interests, aren't confidently going to be able to provide a probable value of the investment. It is certainly unreasonable to expect employees, who get no board representation and thus can be screwed over in any scenario short of an IPO, to do better than people who have this as their entire job.
That's only one class of knock off, and the easiest kind to police.

What are the other classes of knock offs?

That's a really weird assertion, since Amazon's current practices are totally irrelevant.

I don't think it's weird at all. If Amazon is going to have human beings checking for knock-offs, they are going to have to look at physical items at one point. I have seen many complaints that in many cases, the original manufacturer's Amazon Fulfillment stocks are intermixed with the counterfeits. The people working knock-off policing are going to be running around the same space as the item runners. They are going to have high workloads. Why wouldn't Amazon's current practices be relevant?

Amazon has total freedom to reform its business practices in all relevant parts of its organization to solve this problem, and I would argue it's their responsibility. Those changes would likely not be at the order fulfillment level, but at the SKU creation/inventory acquisition/seller account approval level.

Why not start a competing online marketplace, with better policing of knock-offs? I think this is already happening, with niche manufacturers opting to sell on their own websites instead of selling on Amazon because of these problems. Whoever is offering fulfillment services to such businesses is effectively doing this. In the future, perhaps Amazon will once again declare, "Your margins are our opportunity," once again and move in to the niche. Perhaps one day Amazon will use this maneuver one too many times.

The gender wage gap is real in the sense that there is a gap, but when you analyze it, they are comparing apples to oranges. I'm sure everyone here knows this.

https://data.oecd.org/earnwage/gender-wage-gap.htm

The countries with the highest wage gaps are the countries with the most equality in the workplace. Women in Korea are not treated poorly.

The important thing though is the people proposing that the wage gap is a problem has a solution. They are pushing equality of outcome. They want everyone to be paid exactly the same. That's the problem that they have. They don't care that they are comparing apples to oranges. They want pay to be exactly the same.
