I think the article makes a valid point in kind of a silly way, which is to hold up five or six of the absolute worst outliers of the industry to make a point about inequality. Are they a useful reference point to represent the problem? Yes, but that should have segued the article deeper into the weeds of why this is happening and how it can be fixed. There's an implication that some massive sea change might have been expected following #metoo, but I suspect the reality is that what we're going to get instead is slow, forward-moving progress towards diversity - so let's talk about it in realistic terms and figure out how to make it go faster instead of focusing on the outliers, expecting a miracle, and then acting like no progress has been made just because there was no Thanos Snap-level equalization event.

I want Silicon Valley to produce quality products and innovation. I don't care what culture it has as long as it respects the Constitution and the laws of the land and everyone gets a fair chance on the basis of the work they actually produce. NY Times has declined big time in recent years.

You assume everyone who dislikes Thiel and his ilk is a "dem", and no, I'd dislike them the same way I have a strong distaste for both Cuomos.
