I wonder if they adjusted for how many times the men have to come over and write code for them
Can confirm that in over 21 years in the industry I've never seen that.
I have however seen a man do his work during the day then go home and do half his wife's work in the evenings. Both computer programmers, at the same company.
How would maternity leave result in a lower salary? It's a break you take, before going back to your original position at full salary.
Someone that's been programming in language X for three years is worth Y. Two years later they're worth Z. Someone that's been programming in language X for three years then spent two years changing nappies is worth less than Y. They need training in the changes and updates in the interim two years.
That difference may be marginal, but it's a massive step away from Z.
Oddly men tend to get a slight salary boost when they become fathers, because of the perception of maturity and dependability.
Not in my experience, no. They start to fall behind slightly on the salary scale because the company knows they're risk adverse and will accept a lower raise rather than rock the boat, as they're now supporting a family.
Because the wife is living a life of relative luxury raising a kid.
Because they're making an inclusive statement, and you're responding by telling them it isn't true.
Since 'All lives matter' is clearly more inclusive than 'Black lives matter' there's no contradiction, and so you're not telling them their statement isn't true.
Amy says, "My life matters." Bob says, "No, all lives matter."
Thing is, Bob isn't saying "No, all lives matter." Bob is merely saying, "All lives matter."
Thus at no point is he saying Amy's life doesn't matter. If Amy interprets it that way then she's the fucking idiot.
Now do you understand that people shouting down "All lives matter" are either racist or fucking idiots?
Fuck backdoors, you can't vet their security or admin staff, you can't adequately audit their processes, you can't believe the marketing bullshit they produce.
So assume they're not secure.
How you deal with it isn't paranoia. Don't be bloody stupid.
Encrypt your data at rest. Control the keys yourself. Encrypt your data in transit. Control the keys yourself. Encrypt your keys. Fuck it, go whole hog if you're that worried about it.
But Apple aren't in any different position to anybody else, and photographing motherboards? Fuck me, get a life.
As someone deferring a hardware upgrade until the shiny new Nvidia GPUs come out with a step change in performance/watt should I worry that they're still issuing new 'top end' versions of the current generation?
I think to be fair it's still a very minor change. A massive chunk of that time would be planning, design and testing - something you'd do in a couple of hours.
The code change is trivial, making sure it doesn't have ramifications that wipe the phone anyway aren't.
The Earth will survive. We'd have to do something spectacular to destroy the Earth.
Human civilisation may not survive but fuck that, it's not worth saving. If it was we'd be working hard to get off planet anyway, as the planet's doomed in the long run whether humans are around or not.
Me, I'll be dead long before the planet. Count me in the "don't give a shit" camp.
Only if you can guarantee that she (or he) has chosen that profession in an open and non-coerced decision, has full autonomy in how their actions and has no constraints beyond the usual governmental ones on what they do with the money you pay them.
Oh, and if you have the money to pay them.
That aside, sure, go for it. Might as well get laid before the world ends.
When I ditched my old games I didn't put that effort in. I also didn't risk some rare classics being lost forever; I found a local independent games shop that did second-hand games, took everything in and let them quote me a job lot price.
They'll have taken a loss on 60% of the crap I gave them, picked up a decent margin on 30% that covers the loss and made a bucket load on the final 10%. That's fine, they'll have looked after the legacy.
What the fuck does it matter if I'm still playing the game today? I took a 14 month break from Guild Wars 2, logged back in the other day, had some fun.
I paid for the game, it still has value. Whether I choose to play it today or not has no overall impact on that value.
I don't even use Facebook but it's easy to admire their engineering.
To be fair, it's about all I do admire.
But scaling a website to a billion users a day, 8 billion video views a day, however hundreds of billions of ads served per day - and bear in mind they calculate which ad to serve to each user.
When he's older, get him partner dancing. Skip ballroom, go for West Coast Swing or Salsa.
It's an excellent way of spending time in a social context without any of the smalltalk. If you like your partner you can chat about dancing and see how things go from there. If you don't, you just boost the tempo and she's moving around too much to talk.
For a start, your list is flawed. e.g. Turing was a scientist, and spent much of his time doing administration. He worked with engineers who did a lot of the design work and all of the physical engineering.
Engineering is not only about maths and science. It's the intersection of maths and science with people.
Shit, I hadn't even heard of Korolev (I'm not Russian) but his wikipedia page even states "his greatest strengths proved to be in design integration, organization and strategic planning".
Organisation and strategic planning. Fuck all to do with maths or science.
If you think you're an engineer and a large proportion of your work doesn't involve communication, you're deluding yourself.
There's also the general statistic that women are paid less for the same job on average, no matter the field.
No, there isn't. Indeed, the general statistic is that women get paid more right up until they have children, at which point comparisons get complicated due to career breaks, working hours and other factors.

Possibly both.
In the US, maybe. But in the US read up on the sexist pre-draft registration scheme:

Equality my arse.
I know, it's a stupid facet of cloud services. Protect your data, but then you can't actually use it on the cloud service.
Bumping into that one daily :(
Assume your cloud service provider isn't secure.
Fuck backdoors, you can't vet their security or admin staff, you can't adequately audit their processes, you can't believe the marketing bullshit they produce.

If $55m to not even fuck me is cheap, not many people in the world can afford a top class luxury whore that'll do it three ways in one night.
But well done on being as stupidly ignorant as the idiot I replied to.

Your support for terrorism has been noted. Your casual racism too.
You're clearly an ignorant cunt, and trust me, the IRA are vicious self-interested criminals that damaged and continue to damage Northern Ireland.
As a citizen of EU. I don't see why our freedoms could be taken away from us? [..] Open tEh concentration camps
I'm not sure whether to highlight the irony or ask if you're German.

No. No, we haven't been doing any damage at all.
We've been changing the state. That isn't damage.

Interesting. Check the posting history and you'll find out I'm supporting someone else's point, because you're not making sense.
I don't think you've adopted my position. I think you've misunderstood the reason people take on a second job at minimum wage.
That supplemental income makes the difference between rent+food+little luxuries and rent+hunger.
I don't define supplemental income in any way at all, I'm merely acknowledging bitter reality for a lot of Americans.
Ok, I'll use small words.
People have two jobs to earn the cash they need to live. The first job is full time but does not pay enough. The second job adds to their pay.
One or both jobs might be minimum wage but trust me, there are a lot of people in America in that situation and most of them are earning minimum wage.
Deny it all you like.

That's some pretty solid engineering.

There's a level of irony that the confirmation this is the Russian state is the sheer volume of astroturf posts on here.
Just check the Anonymous Coward posts. It's truly comical.
You seem to have problems. Have you considered professional assistance?
That's a facilitator failure though.
It's easy to run workshops where introverts get to contribute too - and brainstorming sessions are included in that.
A good manager will also use a range of mechanisms to get input from across the team, and understand which approaches work best with each team member.
Do some research, you'll find people computing long before WWII.
Bullshit.
