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.

How about "a passenger"?

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 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.

The latest miners are running on 10nm technology. So unless Switzerland can start manufacturing 4-5nm devices right away, what you said is basically impossible. Also, if the Switzerland government by any chance acquires 4-5nm technology, what will keep the miners from doing that too? You would be surprised how deep their pockets are. Well they all paying all of Switzerland's electricity bill, so that might give you an idea.

The Bitcoin "bubble" has "burst" at least 6 times now. Which one were you refering to? Every time it recovers and reaches another all time high in a couple of years. Being the nascent but potentially world changing technology, it might take a few years to realize its true market cap. And along the way, we will see a few pumps and dumps. Its just normal.

You don't need to jailbreak if you have an Apple signed App, which the Chinese Govt. can theoretically force Apple to provide.

Lol, fanboys downvoting my comment, even though it is totally possible. Even my last comment 28 days ago, which was incidentally against Apple but factually true, was also downvoted. Looks like hacker news is being plagued with fanboys who can't take any valid criticism of their dear Apple Inc.

Edit: when I wrote this comment, my original comment was at -4 points.

I am sure the chinese government can twist Apple's arm to sign their malware. So it is not any better.

This is totally incorrect. If you have an app on Apple store and sell subscripttions through your website, or other means, Apple forces you to sell the same subscriptions through their store.

But then, the poem will be 124 words (by changing "thirty two" to "eighteen"), so we will have to change 125 to 124. Then, he will be able to say "I love you" an exactly 18 times. So now we are 3 words shorter (by removing "and a third"). So it comes 121. With 121 words, he will be able to say "I love you" exactly 17 times. So, there you go. Change "one sixty seven" to "one twenty one", and "thirty two and a third times" to "seventeen times".

Another consideration: How easy is it to spoof a sim card? Someone might be trying to implicate the accused by duplicating their sim card and taking a phone with the duplicated sim card to every robbery they commit.

Chiming in about Punjab. There was a VERY strong anti-incumbency wave against the ruling SAD-BJP combine (they have been in power for 10 years). The two main opposition parties were Congress (another 100 year old party) and AAP (a new party backed mostly by millenials challenging the establishment). AAP had a strong wave in its favour. People were flocking to their political rallies. Both SAD-BJP and Congress were determined to make sure that AAP loses, so that they can continue to their old ritual of 5 years for me, 5 years for you. If SAD-BJP had won, there would have been riots in the streets, because everyone would know that its impossible without fraud. So, there are conspiracy theories that instead of rigging the machines in their favour, the current ruling party (BJP) rigged it in Congress's favour, to make sure that AAP loses.

Or, people who don't have two hands?

This is more important than the 36% haircut (and the likely lawsuits that will follow).

They say it was "born" on Mars on August 5th. Shouldn't we celebrate its birthday every 687 days? Since Mars year = 687 earth days.

If it were a survey of most temples/religious places per capita, I'll bet anything top 10 cities would be in India.

The quantum computers on earth work by cooling the processors to sub-zero (close to zero Calvin) temperatures. And space is dead cold. So that may be a factor. Also, the article mentions that light travels uninhibited in space.

Well, it is theoretically possible that life exists deep inside Jupiter. They may even have cars and license plates.

But then again, even a quantum telescope might not be able to see it either.

Why isn't this mentioned/discussed anywhere. In 2008 Microsoft offered $45 Billion to acquire Yahoo. Then Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang rejected the offer, saying that the bid "substantially undervalues Yahoo." Microsoft raised the bid to 50 Billion, and it was yet again rejected. After that MS withdrew its bid. 8 years later, at 10% the original offer!

What happened in March 2013? Which transaction was reversed?

Wish I had the ability to downvote. What you are doing is there dictionary definition of trolling. I'm sorry for your loss, but please do not put the whole Ethereum project in danger.

The bug was in the DAO conrtact, not the Ethereum protocol.

That is not true. Bitcoin has never reversed a transaction without a signature.

The only time you are probably talking about is when someone made a block with a 9 billion bitcoin reward. Even then, they just convinced the miners to start a different chain. Thus, the chain with the 9 billion coins block just died. So yea, no reversal without a signature, ever!

Let's put this another way. Would you, if given the option, go through this humiliation for 220k? I wouldn't. Not even for 2 million.
