So why don't they apply for other jobs? Also, there seems to be a market rate for developers, which is usually not a bad salary. What is the reasoning for assuming most of them are underpaid? Because a lot are 10 times developers? Is i

There is a frustration among developers, I guess. But are there really a significant number of overqualified developers stuck in underpaid jobs? If so, is it because they undervalue themselves, or because there are too few employers willin

I don't think that is the same thing - preventing Jews from visiting business schools is not amenable to market forces, if there is a law against Jews visiting schools. Women had other things to do - Black people were working, too, but

So you think there is a market failure in pricing these workers? What do you think is causing it?

Would you say it is more of a privilege or more of a burden to be able to spend time with your own children? Women tend to be the primary caregivers because they choose so, and they are able to choose because it is their privilege because t

I think in Germany at least, employers have to pay people for the damages induced by non-compete (the loss of salary/earning potential). Ianal, though.

So these people would be better off if they didn't have a job at Walmart?

I think the main skill is probably parting clients from their money (convincing them to give it to you), not actually investing the money well. Marketing, essentially. If you can sell, you make money.

Thinking about it, it seems weird that there are not at least some happy robots driving around on the Moon that people could take over for fun.

If anything, they should check the rejected code and verify that it was not worthy of rejection, that is, it really was likely the gender of the submitter that caused the rejection. If higher rank of coder would make rejection less likely,

No, they shouldn't claim they are better and have no agenda. My point is these projects are bound to fail. Of course they will be "helpful" to some - after all, everybody picks some sources they trust. So if you feel you can

I don't think money is the issue. Journalists have their own agenda and tweak and omit accordingly.

All these efforts have the same issue that existing media outlets have: why should they be more trustworthy than the existing media? All the newspapers in existence already claim that their number #1 goal is to report the truth. We all know

I read the article - it mentions that few people configure their browsers properly. I brought up my personal experience as unpleasant, because of the accept headers. Also it is not obvious how to configure the browser properly. I am German

I hate accept language. Google keeps pushing me to the German site, and there seem to be a million places where I might have to configure my computer to make it do the right thing. My OS is actually set to English, so I don't know wher

I thought about this recently when a new cafe opened up in a prime location (replacing another cafe). The rent must be enormous, and it occurred to me that no matter how good or efficient the cafe operates, the rent will probably simply ris

The kids don't have to become professional Software Developers just because they learn a bit of programming. I let my kids draw, too, and don't expect them to become professional artists. I think I know what you are getting at, th

How can interest in computers develop if you are never exposed to it? I don't think the "interest develops on it's own" theory is true, not for any subject.

In the same way, you can win at roulette by always doubling your bet. Eventually you will win and have a net plus. Except that you'll be bankrupt before that happens. So the crash may come (ultimately, in a couple of million years the

Hm, I don't trust those Hollywood movies. They are always about how money doesn't make you happy, but the producers are probably laughing about the poor people paying for the movie tickets all the way to the bank. So essentially m

Yes it is sufficient money, but a well to-do pensioner will also have more than a million, although they might not be aware of it because they only receive monthly payments. I wouldn't really count on those stock market returns, either

That's why I mentioned it - even beyond basic necessities, money can help a lot in daily life. That is, it can make a lot of worries go away. Washing by hand is great, but if you are a family of four, it will also cost a lot of time. I

He mentions the "basic necessities being taken care of", but I just want to mention again that a certain amount of money can make a surprising amount of problems go away. I don't think that aspect should be underestimated. As

It sounds trivial, but it could actually be an important stepping stone towards ending poverty and world hunger. Less time wasted on hair == more time for earning money. Well played.
