Women get less money because most of them tend to make different personal decisions than other people. http://dadatho.me/notebooks/pe...
I'm making 80% of what my peers make. It was my personal decision to leave the work place while my wife kept working. It's not a grand global conspiracy it's Math and Averages.
Now, if you want to discuss *why* women are leaving that's a separate discussion. But pushing the 78% salary narrative doesn't help you do that because it leads you down the entire wrong path of discussion.
I demand that companies hire engineers that refuse to learn CAD, switch board operators, buggy whip makers and blacksmiths!
If there's any common thread I've found among people that can't find jobs and claim it's because of ageism it's that they never kept their resume current. They're the guys that in their 20s were sufficient for getting the job done and never picked up any 'new tricks' into their 50s.
The guys that always spent a bit of their time learning the new stuff, they've had no problems getting jobs or even getting poached from other companies.
I as well. I keep telling them to put on their big cisgendered they pronouned pants and venture out but it's scary.
I still do hang out there. It's not terrible for some things but/r/technology never quite replaced slashdot. Arduino isn't that bad nor is 'askscience' or 'askhistorians' since they're closely watched. But actual discussion is a shit show echo chamber. Watching them try to game Slashdot's moderation (For the Brianna Wu 'AMA') was absolutely hilarious. "I don't understand, why can't I vote up stuff I like and downvote the stuff I don't like".
Of course I'm still waiting with my popcorn popper for when it does hit the fan. If Digg made a bunch of internet refugees back in 2010 I can't imagine what Reddit is going to create in 201x.
Yep. The worst thing you can do about someone complaining about the direction the site is going is suggest to them that they type another URL. You'll get nothing but push back from 20 somethings olds that have been on Reddit since it launched. They lose their shit about how they're being 'censored' despite every other website still working.
I'm sitting here watching Good Morning America & The Today Show and they're getting live Twitter feedback. You can't have wild card unsafe spaces view-able to the mainstream. "Twitter is censoring me!", "Stop using it", "BUT I CAN'T NOT USE TWITTER MAKE THEM STOP CENSORING ME".
When Slashdot went down the tubes I found Reddit. Now that Slashdot is under new ownership and they seem to care about the 'core base' I'm back. I never got over the Fark redesign and new moderation. (They also tried to pander to the same crowd, getting rid of Foobies on the main page). There are thousands of forums, websites, IRC channels, etc out there. If you disagree with one there's no reason not to move on.
It's a new Digg. It got more popular but realizing 15-30 year old males weren't profitable they're trying to pivot themselves into being the 'social media' site for stay at home moms. Popular stories now showing up on Today show. This did require them to go after their core base, deleting a lot of subreddits that didn't fit that image. Now it's just full of whiners that don't know how to type other addresses into the browser.
Plus they have 'moderation' but it allows everyone to moderate meaning it's near useless.
The "problem" is it's a personal decision. I'm earning 72% of my peers (and that number is just going to go down the longer I'm out of the work force) because I voluntarily chose to leave the workforce to raise a family while my wife works. It's not a massive conspiracy it's math. http://dadatho.me/notebooks/pe... I will be at pay parity with my peers at time = infinity.
The problem isn't that women are earning less it's that America (and most companies in it) don't have policies in place to accommodate them. We're framing the entire problem wrong. Old companies are hostile to teleworking and 'modern' work practices that work just fine in other first world countries.
If you want parity forget about salaries and concentrate on other crap. But repeating the 72% number does nothing but prove how averages work.
... You realize the technology is vendor agnostic? You don't even have to use a phone. My Mastercard has a NFC in it allowing me to pay without taking my card out of my wallet.
Samsung Pay is a bit different, in addition to NFC they bought a company that fakes a magnetic swipe meaning it can be used with any old magnetic reader.
Almost every place I've tried to use touch to pay works (And I don't even use my cell phone). Most places have had the readers since ~2010 and I remember McDonalds having them since ~2007ish.
It's handy to take my wallet out of my pocket, tap the screen and continue on. If any store you go into has a newer screen the reader is behind the screen, older payment kiosks have a little ''dish' looking part on the top.
I still use my TF300 tablet I bought in 2012. My phone is a Galaxy Note 3 and I have a HTC One M7 as a 'mini-tablet'. I don't really forsee them becoming 'inadequate' in the next year.

Stop insulting the generation that invented that about which the "new guys" sit in class and listen to lectures.
Because buggy whip manufactures were in very high demand while the automobile was rolling around.

How about an OS that doesn't care what you plug in but doesn't do anything with it?
I'd be interested in what the USB would show up as and do in my FreeBSD machines.
Being able to post online using a browser is not something that makes a good desktop.
Embedded Arduino development. Python development.
I've pulled a hard drive from my desktop and tossed it in my laptop and FreeBSD didn't know the difference. (Windows can't get past a BSOD).
ZFS on Root means if one of my hard drives goes it doesn't take down my entire desktop.
FreeBSD on my Wife's 6 year old Dell feels faster than Windows 7 or 10 on any new laptop I've tried in the last year.
FreeBSD is a server oriented OS as far as I am concerned
I've run FreeBSD as my 'desktop' OS (on my laptop) for ~6 months now. I can't see any reason to go back.
Given that Sanders just got a Papal invite I'm guessing she decided to try something, anything.
Of course they do and do it with 0.00001525878 precision to boot. If that's all you need then you can get by with 16 bit numbers just fine.
I want Amazon to release a "Echo for the shop" with Paul Bettany as the voice.
Can we also see the breakdown of gender for:
What will we be doing to address this disparity?
What are the numbers once you drop fleet vehicles?

I would love to see what Toyota would come up with if they had to implement a TSA.
- In Lieu of Money, Toyota Donates Efficiency to New York Charity
- Meals Per Hour (Video on Toyota improving meals made per hour)
The entire flying process is a cluster of inefficiency.
ClearCase for life. (No really. We can't seem to get rid of it)

You should know by now that sort of behavior is only tolerated at the highest levels. If a normal person figures out how the system works that's bad.

See all of those corporate logos all over Red Team's vehicles? Do you really think CMU published the coolest stuff they developed?

Patents are anything but that. In fact they tell the world exactly how you do something.
I've ordered stuff on the Dark Nets and almost all dealers force you to use PGP.
... You realize the technology is vendor agnostic? You don't even have to use a phone. My Mastercard has a NFC in it allowing me to pay without taking my card out of my wallet.
Apple Pay is just Apple's name for NFC. Look for the NFC Logo
Also called MasterCard PayPass, Android Pay, Visa Pay Wave or Discover Zip.
Samsung Pay is a bit different, in addition to NFC they bought a company that fakes a magnetic swipe meaning it can be used with any old magnetic reader.

Why not FreeNAS if it's a home server? CrashPlan and Plex have plugins.
