Men in my country at least are just generally more interested in tech. A big population of males who are interested in tech will naturally lead to a heavily weighted male populous of proficient tech people. I don't get why this is sexist it's just fact. I don't see much that needs to be fixed.

If there is discrimination in the hiring process though, yes that needs to be addressed. However that's not the angle the article is taking.

Hiring a woman because you don't have many women in the work place isn't optimal.

I'm not sure why my comment got down voted so much, my point is if a obscure web address is the only line of security it is terrible, especially as they recommend you to bookmark the address in your tool bar. The point is it might look great and secure at first, all it takes is a small mistake from one of many angles and it's done for. Examples of mistakes, people posting their urls, people being tricked into posting their urls, shared computers with bookmarks, the webmaster accidently installing a sitemap script which indexes them all etc.

I find it hard to believe companies pay Google $55 per click and that is in any way profitable for them. There must be more +EV opportunities out there for advertising. But I'm probably mistaken as usual.
