> Salary jobs don't get paid more for working more.

Incorrect. Many salary jobs pay for over-time (and again, men are more likely to work over-time, on average).

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".

In fact, the reverse is true for younger women. Younger women make more money than younger men: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2015/aug/29/women-in-20s-e...

edit: The updated link you provided tells average "weekly earning", not an hourly wage rate.

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.

How about "a passenger"?

> 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.

How does the gender of the person who watched/recorded this matter so much that the author had to put it in the title?

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 sorry you did not buy it when it was cheaper. No need to hate it now because you were stupid back then.

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.
