Hmm, I don't know if its just me, but the image of the female founder in their title image seems sexist.

Care to provide some form of reasoning for that?

I'm not the OP, but here's my interpretation:

1) The woman is the cream in your typical Oreo display of "diversity".

2) The men are in business casual attire (i.e. a button down shirts/polos), the woman is wearing a fair amount of makeup and jewelry, and what appears to be a dress blouse. Could be easily explained away as this particular founder's usual method of dress (or the nature of her business), but it's a notable exception in the three photos.

3) They couldn't have picked someone who qualified as an "immigrant" who looked more stereotypically "native". This is not directly related to the sexism argument, but as a result she seems to have been carefully picked to fit in the image and give a point of reference.

Righteousness opportunism.

Wow, down-votes for calling out potential sexism?

Anyway - yes, the reason I made that comment was that the female founder's attire seemed inconsistent with what is generally considered to be business casual, which is what the other two male entrepreneurs in the picture are wearing. While it may be so that in her line of work her style of dressing is commonplace - for a professional article such as this, the authors could have done better in deliberately avoiding a picture like that.

Just my 2c.

This website seems to have a memory leak. 3GB ram usage on the chrome.exe process at 13% CPU.

How can a website have a memory leak? That's a browser property. Websites don't leak memory.

Really bad use of javascript can cause a memory leak in browser.

Because Silicon Valley has a high level of entrepreneurial immigrants it means that it reflects the US as a whole, right? This considering it's in the state with the highest level of immigration and the probably has more H1Bs than anywhere else in the US. This has got to be the truth.
