> women in the US tech industry pay a tax of between $100,000 and $300,000<p>First, that doesn't sound even remotely plausible. That's a "tax" greater than what most heterosexual white men make. Claiming discrimination based on being transgender is also weird since you don't have to tell anyone that.<p>But my biggest problem with the article is that it appeals to some magic algorithm, but doesn't tell you much about it. Certainly not well enough to evaluate potential problems with it, which is especially important because the article makes it sound like she was out to reach a certain conclusion and then, surprise, she did. I like data science. Give me the source code, I'm not going to just take your word on it that your methods were theoretically sound and free from arbitrary manipulation.
