That article didn't cite any of its data, and it even conflates reported rapes with rape estimates.

Please, go back to reddit. Your posting history on this website is complete shit.

There is. There is a single culture that tends to upvote the same things over and over again. Reddit.com is defined by its default subreddits — its front page. The fact that other subs exist doesn't negate the very real culture that ha

The fact you claim /r/science is for "hardcore 'truths'" kind of proves you aren't in a position to talk about this. :(

If you have an extra liver lying around, take a drink every time someone posts, in complete sincerity, "It has no where to go but up!"

Wage gap, not total pay gap. The article is talking about what women make per hour versus men. This means that a woman starting off in her 20s, without a child, would (on average) earn 93 cents for every dollar a man makes.

Like icebraining said, the biggest way to influence the industry is to get more women into it. The more women, the weaker the current we must row against. Change is much more likely to happen if there is a substantial population of women pa

Google's grant doesn't give women a whole bunch of money solely on the basis of being a woman. They have to first qualify for Hacker School, and then they have to qualify for financial aid. Once they do all that, they get some mon

They aren't just letting any and all women in while telling the droves of men to shove it. They're saying that if you are a woman who already qualifies for Hacker School who cannot pay for expenses while attending , then they w

The point is that a poor, uneducated man will still be ahead of a poor, uneducated woman when attempting to learn how to program; likewise, a man with a Stanford degree will have many more resources available to him than a woman with a St

What do you think this is if not outreach? Any sort of outreach will be targeted. I can only imagine you would be in those threads complaining about "gender discrimination" because Company X created women-focused programming class

If I have ten apples, and you have five apples, giving us both five apples doesn't make us equal. Likewise, giving both men and women grants (which are readily available anyway for both genders) doesn't suddenly fix the imbalance

It's really interesting to click through the people who post these kinds of comments and see they only ever post in Bitcoin-related threads. Aside: How much of your savings did you dump into it?

But isn't the point of Bitcoin that it's unregulated and akin to digital cash? If you start regulating it, what makes it any different or better than using cash? What's the point, then?

It was pretty easy to figure out exactly what this was. It just wasn't handed to you like the majority of HN wants. All of the information was there, though. It just required you to gasp click something. The problem with all of those
