The horror. Where should people turn to get their approval stamps before they are allowed to write documents? Is it only bad to write about things, or should thinking about things also be frowned upon? Where can I get a list of safe, govern

Yes, because women speaking up about issues in tech never get any platform at all. "Attention whoring" is definitely the standard reaction.

Unless she lied on her resume, it is hardly her fault if recruiting agencies rank her resume so highly. Maybe they should fix their algorithms.

It starts to matter once the winners of the race get serious amounts of money.

Do you have kids? Who got to stay home with the kids? Who got to work only part time when the kids grew older? Who pays the rent? That sort of thing. And, as always: on average... If you don't see it, I don't think I can convince

As I said, it depends on the circumstances, but I am sure a lot of "hey would you like to grab lunch sometime" end up as a number in those harassment statistics. It is also a very one-sided narrative, omitting the advantages that

It's not just that, it is that women have the greater bargaining chip in the relationship. They have the womb for creating babies, so they can make more demands. Also, they make the greater investment into kids (at first, at least, ove

Women marrying up is historically the biggest driver of equality in Western societies (poor people becoming richer). Economist have identified it as a problem because as women get richer and they don't want to marry down, that mechani

Thank you for the links. I don't think they are as convincing as you make them out to be (the second does not even talk about women specifically), but I don't have the time to discuss it further in all detail. Harassment is bad, b

There is also the study where they changed peoples voices in phone interviews, and the women with male voice were suddenly less likely to be hired (although the effect was small, iirc).

It's usually the other way round - women don't want to date men who earn less. You probably heard your version from the feminists.

Anecdotally, it was often guys who had no shot at being high status anyway that chose CS, or earlier, who picked computers as a hobby.

Law and medicine are high status jobs, with a lot of people interactions. Yes, programmers have meetings. Not the same level of interaction as medicine, by a long stretch. There are many TV shows glorifying medicine and law. How many TV sho

I'd like to see Google become 100% female engineers.

Sure - the economic dynamics and valuation are complicated (I don't understand them either), but I don't think that is what the article was talking about. The tech is fairly simply, at least the principles. As simple as basic cryp

Hyperbole - it's not really that hard. But it uses maths, so maybe not everybody has the stomach to try to understand it.

Wages are determined by market forces. Most nurses may earn less than techies, but their work might be more rewarding to them. They are helping human beings get better, not optimizing ads. Nobody is forced to choose Nursing over Tech, so if

The hypothetical managers (women) with no tech skills. The comment I was replying to said many women might do better as managers than in tech.

According to Google, the definition of sexism is "prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex." So if you don't consider dating somebody because of their sex, by that definition yo

If you are not bisexual or asexual, you are sexist by definition.

by dsfjksdf 9y ago
But that is not related to "shortage of women in tech/STEM". More women in management wouldn't change that. Maybe it is just difficult to put managers without experience in the trenches in front of people? That is, manag

Yes that is what I meant - I don't know Ethereum as well, so I assumed Solidity is the already the level of the VM (the "assembly"). Thanks for clarifying!

It's Ethereum with the claim of having a better language for the contracts (enabling automatic verification). I don't think it makes that much sense, after all, you could also create another language that compiles to Solidity, and

"An Ethereum based on Ocaml" - that has to be a joke. 200 000 000 just because they use Ocaml? Afaik Ethereum encouraged independent implementations of their PROTOCOL in different languages, also as a way to discover flaws in the
