Again, there is no difference in average hourly rate of wage. Men make more money than women because men (on average) work more hours a week as compared to women. Also men take fewer days off (on average). Thats the reason behind the mythical "wage gap". So, the correct term for it is "earnings gap".
Wage gap has been proven to be a myth. What exists is a "earning gap". Men earn more because they put in longer hours, on average. The only industry that has a demonstrably huge wage gap is modeling (and porn), where female models make orders of magnitude more money than male models.
Regarding representation, no one is forcing women out of tech industry. There are fewer women in tech, because fewer women choose to study STEM in college. Also, why don't women ask for "equal representation" in other industries which are male-dominated like garbage collectors, sewage workers etc.
> Years ago, I managed a woman who was bright, talented, capable, and an all around pleasure. She was sort of new to the industry and could come across as timid, so I did my best to be a poop umbrella for her, fighting battles behind the scenes to set her up for success. She was on a steady track to land a senior role.
This is not the first time I have seen a woman doing favoritism for another woman. The sad thing is even men are expected to "help" and "protect" women. This reverse-sexism in tech industry is rarely talked about because men usually don't make as much noise as women when they feel discriminated against, because men are expected to "man up". And, even when men talk or try to complain the HR (usually filled with woman) rarely takes notice of any such complaints from men.
See that's the thing. Apple does NOT prevent developers from taking payment anywhere else, it just prevents developers from advertising it on their Apple app. How is that making the iOS any safer?
Unfortunately, Ethereum did infact mutate its chain. Bitcoin never mutated the chain, but once a fork was done to abandon the original chain from a few blocks back, and start mining a new chain from there, thus invalidating some transactions. However Ethereum did something which is essentially a crypto-blasphemy. They reversed a single transaction without a valid signature. Ethereum-Classic is the original chain that still contains that transaction.
I am sick and tired of this bullshit logic, about how much energy per transaction Bitcoin uses. Bitcoin's blocksize is being forcibly kept low. It can easily be increased 100 MB, if not more, without causing any serious issues. That will increase the number of transactions per second to a thousand. Plus, comparing a Bitcoin transaction to a traditional transaction is like comparing apples and oranges. A Bitcoin transaction is completely different as it is irreversible. That energy consumption is the price we pay to make sure our transactions remain irreversible.
I went into your history and ALL of your comments are for defending Apple on Apple related stories or defending Apple on non-apple related stories. You are clearly an Apple shill. How much are you getting paid?
Wait, what? You argued that a single app store makes apple devices safer. How does not allowing devs to sell subscriptions on their website help with this arguable safety? Don't bullshit.
The latest miners are running on 10nm technology. So unless Switzerland can start manufacturing 4-5nm devices right away, what you said is basically impossible. Also, if the Switzerland government by any chance acquires 4-5nm technology, what will keep the miners from doing that too? You would be surprised how deep their pockets are. Well they all paying all of Switzerland's electricity bill, so that might give you an idea.
The Bitcoin "bubble" has "burst" at least 6 times now. Which one were you refering to? Every time it recovers and reaches another all time high in a couple of years. Being the nascent but potentially world changing technology, it might take a few years to realize its true market cap. And along the way, we will see a few pumps and dumps. Its just normal.
Lol, fanboys downvoting my comment, even though it is totally possible. Even my last comment 28 days ago, which was incidentally against Apple but factually true, was also downvoted. Looks like hacker news is being plagued with fanboys who can't take any valid criticism of their dear Apple Inc.
Edit: when I wrote this comment, my original comment was at -4 points.
This is totally incorrect. If you have an app on Apple store and sell subscripttions through your website, or other means, Apple forces you to sell the same subscriptions through their store.
But then, the poem will be 124 words (by changing "thirty two" to "eighteen"), so we will have to change 125 to 124. Then, he will be able to say "I love you" an exactly 18 times. So now we are 3 words shorter (by removing "and a third"). So it comes 121. With 121 words, he will be able to say "I love you" exactly 17 times. So, there you go. Change "one sixty seven" to "one twenty one", and "thirty two and a third times" to "seventeen times".
Incorrect. Many salary jobs pay for over-time (and again, men are more likely to work over-time, on average).
