I do hope you continue to refine your demo playback techniques and bring this functionality to ever more complex games! I also hope that game devs will push hard to take some time to add demo recording and playback to most of the games they build in the future. :D
Also from the article: "These biases occur unconsciously and without intention or malice."

In my opinion, the origin of these biases is in the early, formative years: When children see mom stay at home and dad go to work, they learn that that's the way things are - without any conscious negative judgement and regardless of gender. It's the society they grew up in, so seeing something deviate from that can create a bias. It's naturally self-propagating as well, so it will take conscious effort (from everyone) over generations to overcome.

I highly recommend taking the Harvard Implicit Gender - Career Bias test (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html). I found it extremely enlightening because I could actually FEEL my brain pulling me to answer incorrectly. It's timed, so there's mental pressure to make quick decisions - where the brain takes advantage of pattern matching that's been trained over a lifetime.

'Cheap' is used in a specific context here. The headline says 'how cheap a _flagship_ phone can be'.

There are cheaper phones out there. Would you name them among 'flagship' devices?
They're far and away the most convenient payment method in the US, both for customers and merchants.

They work globally, for values of "globally" which include "most parts of the first world which you, as someone in the middle or upper middle class, are likely to find yourself in." You can take a wee little bit of plastic issued by a small bank in central Japan and buy dinner in Prague or take a cab in Portland.

They are the cheapest way to access short-term credit, which is an astoundingly useful thing to have available. Poor folks in the US pay through the nose for it; middle class folks pay an amount between "It's literally a we-pay-you-to-access-it situation" and "A relatively modest APR in the teens, which -- in real terms -- means you can borrow $2k for an unanticipated expense without anyone judging you and it will cost you ~$25 a month." (Examples of unanticipated expenses can include medical expenses, car repairs which are necessary to continue one's employment, responding to sudden family emergencies like e.g. a parent's stroke while you're a student living in another state, etc.)

A credit card amounts to a no-haggling 1% discount on all your spending.

They create an instant, durable record of all spending, which is very useful for e.g. businesses or individuals who are attempting to budget better.

Why would anyone ever want debt?

I get the mindset behind this; I was terrified of debt growing up, for family/cultural reasons. I've matured a bit in my relationship with debt as a businessman. $100 in interest is not morally different than $100 in SaaS expenses. If it allows you to grow the business faster than you would be able to from your cash flow, than it's not a particularly difficult decision to borrow.
Because it's a binary plug-in to bash, not a shell script, and I don't think POSIX has any mechanism for those.

Well it's not a lot (as in 'a lot lot') of money for large amounts of people, especially amongst those who would buy a phone that you can only buy online and for which you need to go through an 'invite' system. "Cheap" is always a relative concept, so I'm not sure what it is you're complaining about.
The opposite. To little supply for the demand.
They used the invites to "throttle" the purchase rate to be able to keep up.
They probably thought an invite system was a better aproach than a weekly free-for-all aka. SuiciDDOS against the webshop.
Hopefully, this time supply will be significantly higher, meaning the invite system will be removed as soon as they know they can keep up with demand.
Who will they side with? Google or the people who keep killing their favourite movie streaming and Torrent sites?

Are they defined anywhere officially? Like is there a standard which says how much volume or weight is held by one teaspoon or one cup? Because I have teaspoons which vary widely in sizes, the same with cups. And even if you use a teaspoon to measure - is it with the contents flat? Or in a little pile? It's too ambiguous, and therefore - not a unit of measure.
It's an important question because it helps to show that it's not only men discriminating against women, but also a bias shared generally by society. The way in which things break reveals a lot about how they work.
I think it's more to do with manufacturing and inventory management. With the invitation system they can smooth-out demand and prevent peaks until manufacturing is well underway.

Of course one of the ways in which it smooths demand is to turn people away; I was interested in a Meizu Ubuntu phone until I learned I had to 'compete' for the privilege of giving them my money.

Same with the original OPO, by the time I won an invitation ( after waiting several months ) I had gone and bought an LG G3.

As a long time user of the Pandora, I can't wait to have a Pyra in my hands. The Pandora has been such an amazing machine - as a games system, as a hacking workstation, and as a general-purpose computer ..

I think that the guys behind the Pandora/Pyra have learned a lot about how you build a community-driven device and still stay alive - they've faced every single challenge that a startup can go through, and then some (volcano) .. and have still managed to stay alive. If you're in the business of making a new hardware product, you should do your research and see what these guys have gone through - it may help a great deal.
I wonder what this means for CyberSource, Visa's already merchant facing company.
I had a similar conversation with some (female) coworkers a while back.

One, who's on her way to her JD, remarked how it upset her that she'd always have extra baggage because she's a woman -- that no matter what the people hiring her would always factor in the chance she could become pregnant once, twice, or even more times.

Before I get off on the wrong foot, I think that maternity leave is a small price to pay if you have a good employee and anybody who turns down a woman for a petty reason like that should rethink how they're running their company.

That said, is it really sexist or is it just life? By that I mean is factoring in all potential issues the same as a hiring manager who thinks women are, by default, worse at X than men?

I almost want to liken it to my car insurance, as weird as it sounds. I have to pay a fair amount more simply because I'm a male and in my 20s. Sure, it's a form of discrimination, but it's also just life. A high enough percentage of us do cost the companies more money, so they charge us more.

A job is more important than car insurance, but my point isn't to compare the two and say they're of the same importance or argue in favor of discrimination.

It's late and I don't think I'm making my point clearly enough, but I kind of wanted to get it down on paper.

Sometimes I feel there are parts of life that you can't really change or blame people for taking into consideration. Whether the fact that women produce babies is something that should be taken into consideration, that's (obviously) something we as a society need to figure out.
It's when a guy from another department walks into a room and asks for a developer, unconsciously ignores the female developer closest to him and starts addressing the male developer.

It's when a guy kindly asks a woman to stop debating a technical spec because she wouldn't understand the details (even though she's more technical than he is).

It's when a sales guy makes a joke with his female colleague that her eye makeup is what is closing deals that day.
Also the most valuable technology companies tend to retain their original founders in leadership positions.
Althought that might be your preference, I'm fairly certain very few people feel the same.

I'm curious about this quote, "Investors preferred entrepreneurial ventures pitched by a man than an identical pitch from a woman by a rate of 68% to 32% in a study conducted jointly by HBS, Wharton, and MIT Sloan. “Male-narrated pitches were rated as more persuasive, logical and fact-based than were the same pitches narrated by a female voice.”"

They leave out all details on how the study was conducted. Does anyone know whether it was the same words, and they just changed the name, or if they actually composed different pitches?

I'm sorry, but paying someone to take off for more than 1/3 of the year? Is this based on how long they are with the company before said leave? 4.5 months of maternity leave is very generous, and honestly enough for a physical recovery and to spend time with the baby. I'd even be in favor of 4-8 weeks maternity leave for new dads.

I'm all for maternity leave, I think it's important, and there are too many companies that don't offer any, or enough. That said, there's a point where you really aren't an employee anymore. I'm not saying they should shorten their leave, but making it longer probably isn't a great idea.

1-6 above is not a sound plan. If your idea is "big", leave your current job and start a company now. If the idea is smaller and more targeted AND you think this will bring real value to your current company, forget "your" intellectual property. Sell the idea internally. Create a buzz about your contribution. This serves to make you a more valuable employee, for which, no doubt, you will receive both tangible and intangible benefits. If you can't sell it inside, then at least you can learn about how to sell.

I'm curious why only one of the studies about gender-bias has anything to do with tech. Are there just not enough studies being done in that field? Are there conclusions we should be making about the world at large? Why has the author chosen to focus on tech in the title, and yet diverge once getting to evidence?

Believe me: you don't want to know.
I think you are wrong on all points, being efficiently oppressed doesn't mean you aren't concerned about it and wouldn't want something better if it was available and you knew about it.

Your example of the American congressman might not be the most efficient use of resources but it is democratic, they are responding to their constituents needs.

The point about complaint boxes is laughable, it's like the companies I worked for with suggestion boxes that ignore every suggestion that doesn't match their world view. If every Catholic complained they couldn't practice their religion without government interference do you think it would make any difference?
Um. Duh? In the late '90s there just wasn't a lot of real value or total business online, especially compared to the orgy of investment in dot-coms. Today the value in internet based companies is enormous compared to, say, 2000. Probably in the trillions. That value is real, and people aren't just going to stop using the internet or sending revenue to tech companies.

But so what? The tech industry won't contract by the same percentage, but it can certainly contract by the same total value, and that sort of thing can trigger a widespread economic downturn, the economy is tricky that way. And there's more that's overvalued than just startups today.

This is addressed in the study[0] on the third page (4429):

"The pitch videos showed images related to the ventures, but
they did not show the entrepreneurs themselves. Participants
heard the entrepreneur’s voice-over narration while they watched
each video. This video pitch format allowed us to dub in a male
voice and a female voice (randomly assigned), holding the narration
script constant. After watching the videos, participants
chose which company to fund."

Given this, should I risk being labelled incompetent, by telling my stakeholders about my problems or should I put in the long hours needed to get stuff done (as that's what people in startups do).

Gaaaaaaaaaaah.

Sorry, that was just my scream of frustration about a world which doesn't make this answer obvious.

You're an adult now. Go to manager; say that you've inherited a code base written by a more senior developer which has a substantial amount of technical debt in it and you'll need time to get up to speed on it. Work together to get a better understanding of when the milestones will be shipped successfully. (Unobvious-to-younguns true fact about managing: managers often need predictability a lot more than they need speed.)

Do not work 15 hour days to try to grok the code better. If you model your manager as a heartless automaton (and he isn't!), he'd heartlessly prefer you to be resting at home rather than in the hospital, since only one of those means you'll be filing TPS reports tomorrow.

Do not attempt to sprint your way out a scheduling issue. The business will always be capable of finding another catastrophe. You know how there are a herd of cows or a murder of crows? There's a startup of catastrophes. Companies/individuals/teams which develop crunch cultures never stop crunching. They ship whatever the blocked milestone was -- late, of course, because crunching very rarely actually speeds shipping -- and then promptly identify a new milestone to crunch towards.

It is not the job of 23 year old developers to insulate the business from the predictable consequences of the actions of more senior employees. If your manager feels differently, there are many saner managers available. That's a pretty radical step, but choosing burnout is a much worse step. Burnout is not fun. You wouldn't choose to develop adult-onset diabetes because it would avoid a difficult conversation at work. Don't choose burnout, either.
frankly, the IT industry has to be the fairest industry in the world. the problem with statistics when one side has few data and the other side a lot (women in IT vs men in IT) is that you can "choose" datasets that speak for what we look for. it is easy to pick the bottom male engineers and compare them to women and im pretty sure women will be better paid at "similar" jobs (haven't seen one similar job in 10 years in the it industry but ok).

I am myself married to a woman who codes and as long as she has shown to her managers that her productivity and quality of work was excellent she never got discriminated. people assume everything should come to them because it came to others. a company is not some socialist everland where everyone gets paid same. people get paid what their are worth (minus/plus negotiation skills)

as for women leaving the field. knowing that most engineers in big companies or services companies are leaving the field to become PM or manager of something I see this as a sign that women are more passionate about their carreer than about IT.

Negotiating is also a skill. Most companies are negotiation meritocracies.

Your post mentions women leaving for maternity leave, but makes no mention of men leaving for paternity leave. It's probably a problem for society that we assume men are not interested in childcare and won't take much time off.

> I almost want to liken it to my car insurance, as weird as it sounds.

It's a little bit weird because we have so much information telling us that young men are much more likely to be involved in an accident. I don't think you're saying that we have a lot of evidence to show that women are going to be terribly costly hires. And in some places (the EU) insurance companies can't use gender.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12608777
I think this argument needs to be less black and white than what you present. There's no need for a company to "swoop all" of these people and go for an "audacious goal"; that's all too exaggerated. All that's needed are a few companies competing in a largely male-dominated space, staffed with "a larger presence" of women, and being reasonably successful in whatever goal they have, regardless of how trivial or lofty it is.

Advocacy is great, and necessary to get out of local maximas, but living proof is always going to be more effective.

Of course, there's always the question of how useful such a competitive advantage (access to a large pool of excellent staff) would be to drive success. It may not be, which is a different discussion and one that would make engineers of both genders nervous regarding their own value.
I also do not hold much of an resume. Around 30% of developers I've questioned could not code a bit even when their resume said years of developer experience. I currently do only 10sec screening of resumes to find interesting things.

"[..] that it's downright abusive towards people who aren't ill-meaning. I hope that a balance is found sooner than later."

I'm totally against any (slightly) sexist words, and have always stopped people from using them - inside or outside of my teams/departments. That said:

Sometimes gender activists focus on the 'easy' things, like language, where it is easy to call someone out, and where it is an easy to understand world view with evil sexists on one side blocking female progress and good gender activists on the other side.

That way of living is easier than accept that there are many things women must do themselves (push for higher salaries, aspire for careers, fight for promotions, help other women with role models) and what activists could do: hire more women, become a tech (manager) role model, ...
There's a huge difference between, "I'm not sure I understand where you are coming from." and "You are a god damned idiot, what the hell are you thinking." ... I have to admit, I've thought the latter on more than one occasion having to fix a bug, or do a feature enhancement in a piece of software. I try to be more sensitive in my actual interactions though.

You can review, advise and even critique without being outright abusive. I tend to take similar arguments when people want to use curse word filters... tone is a hell of a lot more than specific verbiage.
You mean script, not scrypt.
I'm also generally curious about the figures for men in female dominated industries. I'm a senior software engineer now, but I graduated with a degree that would have had me working in an industry that was overwhelmingly female (fashion). I think it's like 95% female. Most of my classmates were female. I didn't go into that industry because other opportunities cropped up and because that industry doesn't pay anyone, man or woman, well and you're expected to work for years for very little to get anywhere career-wise. Not once during school or after it did I feel disadvantaged in a school/work environment where I was very much a minority (straight cis male).

I have been unable to find any figures, but I suspect that fashion was an industry that had a lot more men working in it up until the 1980s.

http://amfi.nl/boys-fashion-industry-gender-ratio/
Earlier in the article the author states that both men and women have bias. Then we get this quote, "If tech culture is going to change, everyone needs to change, especially men and most especially leaders."

It would be nice to know why "especially men," with no foundation for this statement it makes it hard to believe as a scientist, and even harder to act upon.

Any revisions with this included would be greatly appreciated. :)
