"[T]he gender pay gap only exists for women over 40, suggesting it is less about gender and more about something else entirely. Indeed, women in their twenties currently out-earn men and it is only when they start a family that the pay

That article comes across as one massive ad hominem attack against the guy. It's fine if there's a "Controversy" section, but it's practically the whole article. There's just a little section at the end called

Another way of looking at it is that efforts at pay equality simply counteract bias built in to the system. Though it's often unspoken, gender/ethnicity/etc. already are hugely important in pay, even if the bias is unconsciou

Here's another weird restriction: password length limits. I've had websites tell me I can't use more than 8 or 16 characters. Even if they let me use a thousand characters that's just going to get hashed to the same leng

Potential downsides of shielding the earth like this? If life has evolved over billions of years with the assumption that such this radiation would be present, it may be disruptive for it be removed suddenly.

I'm not convinced that's the entire explanation. Don't things keep being discovered about the bacteria living around the roots in the soil interacting with the plant to provide much of their nutrition? A growing plant is a ma

The high cost of medical school seems directly related to the restriction on the number of physicians. Because only N seats are available whereas maybe 10*N seats would be desired in a free labor market, each school can charge immensely for

In the US, yellow lines indicate a division between lanes flowing in the opposite direction. White lines are used otherwise. So there's a yellow line on the left because it abuts the barrier dividing the lane from oncoming traffic. The

So... because the supply of doctors is restricted but demand for doctors grows proportionally to the population, the amount of work per doctor gradually increases and doctors, persuaded by their ethical obligation of care, put up with it as

My apologies, I stated that wrong. I had thought I remembered there being an issue with Google's "Secure Search" making search keywords unavailable to websites (which it did) but that Google Analytics had a Google-specific wa

Interesting. I really feel these sorts of searches could be automated. Given a database of all known objects in space, attempt to infer likely objects that have not yet been observed. Then automatically direct telescopes to make observation

Gas stations seem pretty inflexible in how much they can supply to market through their pumps. Increasing prices has more to do with making the quantity demanded and quantity supplied equal. When the supply quantity isn't flexible, it&

The top comments here seem to misunderstand net neutrality. It's not about companies selling your browsing history---that was recently approved by Congress in a separate bill[1]---but rather is about whether ISPs can prioritize the dat

I'd say there's no fine line between maintenance and innovation. Many innovations arise in response to the pains of maintenance.

I was a little worried linking there since I can't vouch for the rest of her output. But that particular article seems solid to me. This anti-establishment part of psychiatry certainly attracts fringe views. But I find the core critici

Perhaps if Javascript were used more like a traditional programming language? I.e. to build a terminal emulator, you find the JS library that binds to OpenGL or SDL or X or Cocoa or whatever, and you write JS code against that library, then

You could maybe introduce a lint saying "possibly unnecessary allocation" when people `+` `&str`s together. Then beginners can still use the syntax that they're familiar with (and that basically every other language uses)

I think they're focused on newly-built renewables rather than hydroelectric which was built decades ago by massive government subsidy and seems unlikely to see real expansion given environmental concerns re: fish spawning, etc.

Everybody you don't agree with is "close-minded". It's the fact that they can't seem to see the sense in your own position that makes them seem like such benighted fools. But they look at you in the same way. Unless
