Too Long; Didn't Read
In case you haven’t heard, <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/google" target="_blank">Google</a> is the target of a class-action lawsuit regarding gender discrimination. (Shocking, I know, given what we know about Silicon Valley more generally.) Part of the impetus for the lawsuit is an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/08/technology/google-salaries-gender-disparity.html" target="_blank">employee-led effort to collect compensation data that shows that men are paid more than women at the company</a>. Interestingly, however, this data in itself doesn’t say a whole lot about whether discrimination exists. (Don’t stop reading, I’m not on team Google here, just on team “using math properly.”)
