At least when I was there, my papers were getting thoroughly reviewed and often had to make some adjustments before getting approval. Never occurred to me to make any demands from the reviewers or threaten to resign if my paper doesn't get immediately and unconditionally approved. Seems like she's asking for preferential treatment.
Sorry, I'm gonna not answer just because I don't want to make it about myself and also don't want to reveal my identity.
Both full time SWEs. The gap exists, you can ask around. It's widely known at Google.
Racism exists. Pay discrimination exists. Yet, you can't go about breaking every norm and rule if you are famous and from an under-represented group.
I also saw the tweets at Yann LeCun. I'm not his biggest fan, but that wasn't right. She's hurting minorities for her own agenda.
Edit: removed info about myself.
An unrelated question to HN. English is my second language, and we don't use the Latin alphabet. My English handwriting is pretty bad. I always wanted to improve it, but didn't have much success. Are there courses out there for practicing handwriting for adults?
