The site is currently down for me (503). While we're talking about boring technology, please consider hosting your blog on a static file host + CDN. It will be faster, easier to maintain, and virtually impossible to take down.

The real solution to that is to allow sites to specify the SHA of their resources. If any file from _any site_ is already in the cache with that SHA, it won't need to be loaded.

If, on the other hand, this makes those firms think a little harder about how they might be making sexist decisions, I can't see it as a bad thing. There's no doubt that women are underrepresented in VC, and I can't help but suspect that that is one reason they are underrepresented in Tech.
