Anyway, I don't think anyone is really offended here, just frustrated that they can't solve this engineering challenge.
There are many engineering challenges left in image recognition. The difference is that the AI recognizing a table correctly as a table in 99.99% of the cases gets praise as a very accurate system, but when it defines 99.99% of black people as black people, and 0.01% as gorillas, then they will get offended and demand an immediate fix.
You already pay sales tax on every widget that the robot produces. A personal tax for a robot makes no sense, because the robot has no income to take it from.
Also, define "robot" . Does my spreadsheet need to pay taxes, or my tractor ?
I am saying that in a civilised country, you don't have too
No, you are saying that in a civilised country, that's how you'd like things to be. There is, however, no law of nature that says that there's enough economic output to give everybody a decent quality of life. Just because you're "civilised" doesn't change that.
The starting hypothesis must be that over a large enough sample things should even out.
Go check out youtube hobby projects. Watch a bunch of home videos of people doing woodworking, model trains, Arduino kits, knitting, pastry making, and scrapbooking. Notice huge gender gaps.
And if you want to argue that society pushes gender roles, then why do so many gay men end up in fashion and modelling, instead of coal mining ?
Unless you want to assume that one gender works harder / is smarter / is "better" than the other gender?
There are certainly biological differences that make one gender better at doing certain tasks. Look at chess. In the top-100 rating list, there's only one woman, Hou Yifan, at place 64. Part of that is differences in brain wiring that make men better at it. Part of it is that men are more interested in dedicating their entire life to a useless game.
If one person is doing vastly more work then they are being exploited. If they have to work that hard to get raises, that's exploitation.
What if someone works the same hours, but just produces better output ? Differences of a factor 10 are not impossible, even in people with same experience on paper.
And it's not exploitation if you reward them accordingly.
Pay in Europe is also based on how well you can negotiate, and how much competition there is in the work force, on top of how much experience you have.
It's hard to point to a single weather event and attribute it to climate change, but it should be obvious that a changing climate also changes the weather.

You want this meaning: 4. seem; give the impression of being.
Is the ice in a good location to explore space from later?
No. It's a lot easier to explore space from Earth, where we already have everything we need.
So your self driving car detects 4 gorillas on one side
When in doubt, plow into Harambe.

You mean we can't all buy one Bitcoin now
No, there are not enough coins for that.
They're not family or friends, so why is this our problem?
Because they control a large portion of the world's oil.
Initial justification is decentralization. That's still valid.
What's the driving force behind owning bars of gold if it's not a viable currency ?
I think the carriers wanted people listening to streaming services using their data plans.
That's what I do. Generally, the sound quality is much better than FM, especially when walking between buildings.
In fact, most accidents were caused by non-Senior Citizen drivers
In total, or per mile driven ?
We apologise for the fault in the title. Those responsible have been sacked.
You mean, they've been bricked.
The problem is in how you define the entire population of interest
No, that's easy. The population of interest is all the people that would fall under the jurisdiction of the chosen government.
Each district is electing its own representative.
Well, yes, but my point was to change the whole system. You give each party a certain number of representatives based on percentage of popular vote.
If you want a local representative, then have a local election to appoint one, and give this person some jurisdiction over their own district.
Why not simply add up all the votes over the entire population of interest ?
If people are voluntarily paying millions to Paris Hilton, she's worth it.
Hint: think very very low.
Fucking rice and beans can't compete economically against a McDouble.
A 1-lb bag of dried pinto beans costs $1.80, and provides almost 3000 kcal.

I've only worked in small companies, and I never had standard salary levels. It was all up for negotiations.
They usually have standard salary levels for a particular job type
If that were true, they wouldn't have any wiggle room for a gender gap.
