Had a real popular podcast episode and I was curious to get some feedback and hear what you guys thought? http://fringe.fm/17-ai-education-and-the-role-of-women-in-tech-and-venture-with-ann-miura-ko-general-partner-at-floodgate/ What do you think? Hope it is okay to post this here, if not please let me know ASAP. Thanks, In our wide-ranging conversation, we cover many things, including: How the space race and a NASA dad lead Ann to venture capital How the venture ecosystem has evolved, especially for women, since 2001 The importance of living through and experiencing an economic downturn What Ann believes needs to be changed about our education system to adapt to the coming changes How AI will impact the job market/economy and why Ann is fundamentally optimism Why we need more women and diversity in tech How Ann sees developments in blockchain and cryptocurrency affect our society Why Ann passed on investing in Airbnb The little known truth about startup success http://fringe.fm/17-ai-education-and-the-role-of-women-in-tech-and-venture-with-ann-miura-ko-general-partner-at-floodgate/

urg those startup clichés (from the host) at the beginning hurt my brain

and of course the cover image for the unfurling is an unironic usage of a shot from Silicon Valley. SV is so inauthentic and insular, mike judge really nailed us.

The only things @thesyndicatevcteam seems to post here are those podcast links which is beginning to feel a bit spammy since I haven't seen any Clojure content from him anywhere. If folks feel he should be booted as a self-promoter, I'd be happy to do that... (Admin)

Seems worth giving a warning first in case they really are someone who's trying to be part of the community and just aren't familiar with Clojurians expectations. My 2c.

They were approached by an Admin and asked about their Clojure connection -- and ignored the Admin.

If they’ve gotten a warning and ignored it I’ve got little sympathy.
