Readit NewsSpotify is the worst.

I keep saying this: A company is a legal person, and you should not try to be loyal to a legal person because legal person can not be loyal to you,
You can, however, be loyal to your boss, and your boss can be loyal to you, as long as this does not conflicts with his duties to the company.

People underestimate the economic side. This person probably earns 6 figures (if not, he should). Fixing this himself probably costed more than $1697 in his time.
Now imagine a service doing this, with a manager and all the overhead.
Frustratingly the article makes no effort to explain what they mean by equal pay liability.
The same goes for something called "savings delivery rate" that supposedly dropped form 91% to 70%.
And the mentioned "£131 million" for the Oracle finance and human resources system, is that annual or lifetime?
Just came here to say that Diaspora by Gregg Egan is my #1 book ever :)

What does it mean to be a Shapiro Professor?

I don't want to justify much, if any, of the behaviour of the incel/redpill crowd but...
For me several years passed between thinking 'I would like to lose my virginity' and said event happening. Should anybody feel sorry for me? No. But I can empathize with some of the feelings that lead people down that path.
To me, the biggest issue is the hostility of certain crowds that prevents us from discussing and exploring these phenomenons. There is this whole "women don't owe you sex" overreaction that is very quick to silence any discussion.
At the same time sexual satisfaction is strongly correlated with happiness (or depression) and both genders experience very different phenomena here.
And not just with ghost jobs. My recent experience as a job seeker was harrowing - even with large, proud companies. I would pass multiple rounds of interviews with senior/director-level interviewers only to never hear back from the company - even after a direct request for an update or feedback. Just total ignorance. Again, this happened with a FAANG+ company.
