Kara Swisher: 本书对科技和商界男性贡献的描述过多，而对女性的贡献描述不足。许多女性在科技行业中扮演着关键角色，她们的贡献应该得到更多认可。例如，Meg Whitman 在惠普和 eBay 的成功，Susan Wojcicki 在谷歌的贡献，以及 Sheryl Sandberg 对 Facebook 的巨大贡献都应该被重视。此外，女性在科技公司中常常被赋予‘保姆’的角色，这是一种不公平的描述。女性在科技公司中面临着许多挑战，例如缺乏晋升机会和性别歧视。 Mark Cuban: 早期互联网行业男性主导，女性参与受限。女性在科技公司中常常扮演‘保姆’的角色，这是一种不公平的描述。硅谷公司在招聘和董事会层面缺乏多样性。 Mark Cuban: Kara Swisher 的书中对科技和商界女性的贡献论述不足。许多女性在科技领域做出了巨大贡献，但她们的成就往往被忽视。硅谷公司在招聘和董事会层面缺乏多样性，这导致女性在科技行业中面临许多挑战。

Shownotes Transcript

We're continuing book tour week in this bonus episode of “On.” Kara takes the SXSW stage with Mark Cuban, the entrepreneur turned "Shark Tank" star who is currently focused on his healthcare venture CostPlus Drug Company. The two have known each other for decades and Cuban was even featured in the "Mensch" chapter of Burn Book — a short chapter at that. On stage, Mark grills Kara on how few women are featured in her book, what makes her so successful and why she didn't just call the book "told you so." Plus, Cuban shares his theory on why a possible forced divestiture of TikTok by the US government may not yield many buyers – he suggests that the social media giant isn't worth much as long as the algorithm is not for sale.

This episode was recorded on March 10, 2024 at SXSW.
