"Of the 534 occupations listed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women earn more than men in exactly seven professions. Together, these seven occupations account for about 1.5 million working women, or about 3 percent of the full-time female labor force. The remaining 97 percent of full-time working women work in occupations where they earn less than their male counterparts."

Property, real estate, and community association managers. Women's earnings as a percentage of men's: 60.6%; percentage of women in the occupation: 57.4%

Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks. Women's earnings as a percentage of men's: 100.3%; percentage of women in the occupation: 87.0% (One of the seven occupations where women earn more than men.)

I'm not sure how relevant that is; most of what we hear here is Richard, and he's not saying anything on RT that he wouldn't say anywhere else.
You are oversimplifying by assuming that the supply of applicants for a given job is gender-neutral. I think it's generally accepted that one of the causes of the wage gap is that women are pushed toward stereotypically "female" careers, and those usually pay less.
So the general idea is that lack of scalability within a domain is a barrier to entry? If so, then the real barrier to entry is finding the domain, not the actual schlep - big companies can schlep pretty well, right?

My experience has been pretty similar: Go is perfect for building high performance APIs. A lot of the library infrastructure is still in early stages.

One suggestion: Don't bog down your application server with serving static files (Slide 7. favicon and robots.txt). I put all of my css, js and image files in a /static sub-directory and configured nginx to serve any URL starting with /static without hitting my go-server.
Expressive, systematic, powerful - it looks atractive but none of that counts. What counts is ease of being copied and easy assimilation of unprecise copies. That's why PHP rules the web and DNA rules the life and english rules the world despite their messines.
It may be "too often" that new treatments are compared to placebos, but it's not the prevailing practice, at least for serious indications like cancer. It would clearly be unethical to deny people proven treatments would extend their lives. To quote cancer.gov (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/clinicaltrials/...):

10. Are placebos used in cancer treatment clinical trials?

The use of placebos as comparison or “control”
interventions in cancer treatment trials is rare. If a
placebo is used by itself, it is because no standard
treatment exists. In this case, a trial would compare the
effects of a new treatment with the effects of a placebo.
More often, however, placebos are given along with a
standard treatment. For example, a trial might compare the
effects of a standard treatment plus a new treatment with
the effects of the same standard treatment plus a placebo.

Just as creationists view all evidence as pointing to the existence of god. If you start with a conclusion, and twist everything to suit that end, you can't reasonably expect people who didn't start with the same bias to agree with your conclusions.

There are lots of good guides online on how to protect yourself from this (disable password-based auth, or use 2-factor auth, Fail2ban etc.), but there's one piece of advice that crops up a lot that is probably a bad idea, and that's changing the SSH port. This can give (at best) a false sense of security and (at worst) actually reduce security if you choose a port number above 1024, because then malware could pose as SSH without requiring root access and then steal your password once you've entered it.

Just thought it was worth mentioning because I recently went through all this myself to try and secure a Raspberry Pi and it was news to me...
Due to the features of public-key cryptography, we could let Google mirror all the small parties and still be sure that the information comes from them and is up to date. I don't see this as a valid argument.
It appears I misremembered this a little bit - the issue was with license ownership, not license type. The answer we got from Hetzner support was: " we don't offer MSSQL licenses, if you want it you need your own license for MSSQL and also for Windows server 2008 R2, because you can't use your own licenses with our Windows license. "

And yes, it is reasonable to expect the customer to provide the licenses for the software, but hosting companies can also sell monthly software usage to their customers - we ended up choosing a host that did exactly this. The monthly cost we pay for Windows + MSSQL will not reach the total cost of a full MSSQL license for three years.

Read my updated comment.
I really would like to see this claim from the article verified. Most clinical trials I'm aware of are not truly against placebo, especially not cancer trials. Even the Avastin trial mentioned in the article is not truly against placebo.

The two arms were:
(a) standard treatment + placebo
(b) standard treatment + Avastin

So, while it is true that placebo was compared to Avastin, it could be that Avastin acts identically to current standard of care. That is, Avastin could show no impact in this trial and show impact in "just Avastin" vs. "just placebo".

In most progressing fatal diseases, it is unethical not to provide standard of care, so trials are set up such that all patients receive at minimum current standard of care.
Why would you respond to someone saying "you need to account for things like hours worked, experience, position, etc" with "if you don't account for things like hours worked and experience, we can mislead people into thinking there is a gap"?

Yes, it is possible to compare two placebo controlled trials and get a rough estimate of the relative efficacy of the two drugs. Many of the prescribing decisions that physicians make are based on these indirect comparisons.

However, it's only a rough estimate. Even if the patient populations are nearly identical, you can often see different outcomes.

To give you an example: Crohn's disease is an autoimmune disease of the large (and sometimes small) intestine. If you look at the clinical trials for the biologics used to treat the condition, you'll see remarkably varied outcomes, even in the placebo arm.

In other words, if drug A show 50% vs. 20% efficacy vs. placebo and drug B showed 70% vs. 40% efficacy vs. placebo, which is the more efficacious drug?
> That being said, I would very much welcome a high-performance alternative to Javascript that also runs in any browser -- something in the spirit of C or Java, which could be embedded in Javascript and vice versa.

Possible steps in that direction:

- Google Native Client: run native code in a sandbox [1]

- asm.js: A strict subset of JavaScript that can be optimized to native or near-native speed [2]

I much prefer the asm.js approach. I agree that there's a need for NaCl, but if we look at the browser as a sandboxed virtual machine that everyone has, we should all agree on a bytecode specification for that virtual machine. We pick JavaScript "because it is there". Once all browsers speak native asm.js, then you can compile your client-side code in whatever language you want, even C/C++ (see Emscripten for example).

The difference is that having a college degree is a more-and-more important requirement for basically everyone not wanting a blue-collar job. Programmer is just one career choice out of many.

So, yes, the first example is an example of discrimination (possibly non-intentional), while the second could be caused by choices (there are probably other industries where there are many more women than there are men).
I understand not liking the syntax until you get used to it (I find it wordy, but very expressive), but what's wrong the APIs? Apple's documentation is pretty good and the APIs have lots of features especially with blocks. I also like that collections are immutable and the programmer must explicitly ask for the mutable version. Cocoa etc... is quite large, but once the programmer knows what's available many problems that are hard in other frameworks are trivial when coding for OSX/iOS.

Java is well java. I find one of Java's strongest points the extensive set of collections available. Add in Apache Commons and java is easy enough to use.

Congress can't change the scope of Constitutional rights, either to expand or narrow them. They could, however, simply outlaw the practice.

This all happened once before, with the Church Commission, and we were able to step back from the brink, using statutory rather than Constitutional fixes. Today, it seems we lack the political will to do so again.
No, it really hasn't. You're suggesting that women actively seek out lower-paid, lower-status work. Just the other day there was an article on HN talking about a guy that was getting job applications rejected until he clarified his gender on his CV.

If you're a woman that runs into this discrimination, your only choices are to lower your standards for a job, and accept one that is lower paying, or to not work at all. All of a sudden the argument that women doing the same job get the same pay seems rather weak, because it's far from clear that women have the same opportunity to get the same job in the first place. All of a sudden, the lower remuneration of women is once again caused by discrimination, just not salary discrimination.
Furthermore, what holds the Executive in check is the combined vigilance of Congress and the Judiciary.

The Judiciary must show reasonable deference to Congress when it comes to defining such things as "due process". If Congress chooses to create a due process in which it seems very easy for the Executive to get its way (e.g. the FISA court), on what legal basis is a sitting judge supposed to stand in the way? Unless it is completely obvious by existing legal precedent, a federal judge might rightly suppose it is the job of the Appellate and SCOTUS to define any new yardsticks.

FISA courts, PRISM, NSA, drone assassinations,... Congress holds in their hands the power to define the terms of the debate. That they choose not to is simply because the minority and majority leadership in both houses of Congress more greatly fear having to explain their own position to the American people, than they fear any particular arguable abuse by this president.

We're already seeing the effects of this surveillance program on internet behavior. Some people are switching to privacy conscious alternatives to services, but these changes in service allegiance are mostly unimportant and illusory. If blanket surveillance is allowed to continue it will effect the types of information we feel free to share and even who we choose to interact with; how we use the internet and how we perceive our personal freedoms. The internet will become a very boring and much less useful place unless something is done to address the total scope of the issue.

As I see it the scope of this thing is huge. It's an information arms race. The French say they have similar capabilities (this is probably a bluff but won't be for long). The Chinese probably already have the capabilities and their society is aligned with a social morality to support it. Governments have complained that the information being gathered includes trade secrets of use to commercial interests. Finally, from the perspective of individuals, it looks like something dreamt up by a paranoid totalitarian government to enforce population control. This is a proper shit-storm.

I'm not sure where this is going but I'm hoping for some kind of global blanket surveillance ban treaty. Something that applies to both governments and corporations and regulates how long data can be stored and used. I'm hoping for something totally unrealistic that completely averts the nightmare scenario.

When was the last time you saw the CEO of a company decide how much they pay their employees, especially in a huge Fortune 500 company?

Usually that's HRs job. Sure budgets are set high-up, but I think it's ridiculous to say that CEOs have a big impact in salaries.
As with all preliminary research findings, this finding (reported here in a blog post from early 2011) needs replication before we can be sure it is reliable fact about the world.

As a father of three boys before I had my daughter, I really, truly desired to have a daughter in part to improve the "consciousness-raising" environment in my home both for myself and for my three boys. Perhaps I really have had a little bit of "male chauvinist pig" thinking on my own part counteracted by observing my daughter grow up at home. (My wife, on her part, grew up with four older brothers and only one (older) sister in her birth family, and she finds it very easy to take the male point of view.)

What exactly could be done about this from the public policy point of view? Family sizes are smaller than ever--which means that some CEOs have only daughters, and no sons, but other CEOs who have children have only sons, and will not go out of their way to have daughters just to balance their parenting experience. Other than differences in family structure, which thus far are usually haphazard more than planned, it's not completely clear what life experiences can be provided to the current generation of business leaders or the next generation of young people growing up to make sure that they have a balanced view (and what would that be?) about the roles of men and women in the society of the future.
I have read the words and they don't explain why the text contains the opposite information from the graph. I also followed the link to PayScale and found this page:
