now to an expose in the tech industry. bloomberg news anchor emily chang has a brand-new book on what she calls the boys club of silicon valley. she says the deck is stacked against women in tech and alleges everything from discrimination to drug-fueled sex-laced parties. >> reporter: you mentioned how a lot of the business is done outside of the office. you even visited the gold club, the strip club lunch spot in silicon valley. what did you learn from that? >> at 11:45 a.m. on a friday,

the line was out the door. and a lot of the people there were tech workers on their lunch break. this is in the middle of a working day. i talked to a number of the women working at this club and they said yes, they hear colleagues talking about business. they might go up to a private room together. this is a stone's throw from so many tech companies in the heart of san francisco. and the main point is that so much business in silicon valley, as you said, gets done outside the office, whether it's the strip club or the hotel lobby or the bar. you know, or the sidelines of a conference. and unfortunately, that leads to some gray areas, lines get blurred, and often women can be put in very uncomfortable situations. >> and you mention, i mean one of those uncomfortable situations is a hot tub. and it's not that things necessarily happen in that hot tub. but even asking a woman to wear a bathing suit, wear a bikini and pitch her business in that setting must make a lot of women

incredibly uncomfortable. >> i spoke to one particular investor who in fact spoke a lot about his hot tub parties. he sounded like he was bragging about them. and, you know, these are parties that he's having with entrepreneurs in his portfolio. and then i spoke to a woman, katrina lake, the founder of stitch fix. and she said what woman wants to get into a bikini and pitch an investor a business while hold ago beer? like this is just not a level playing field. in an industry where the bigger picture is that women-led companies get 2% of funding. women account for 7% of investors in the most progressive industry in the world, with the smartest people in the world, that's unacceptable. >> something i thought was interesting, for as progressive as the industry is, i was fascinated that the current situation wasn't always this way. google put effort into recruiting incredible female talent early on.

so what happened here? >> women actually were critical part to the tech industry in the early days. they were programming computers for the military, computers for nasa. and then these personality tests started to profile women out. the industry was so desperate for new programmers that they hired two psychologists who determined that people who don't hike peop like people are good at computers. if you look at people who don't like people you're going to hire far more men than women. unfortunately, those personality tests were wildly influential had this stereotype that white, anti-social male nerds could do this job. larry and sergei, the founders, really focussed on hiring women in the early days and they got susan who

of yahoo. they were incredible women, but somewhere along the way, google dropped the ball. >> you can hear from chang's suggestions for what the industry should do next on abc 7 news.com and full disclosure, we want to point out that before she was an author, she was an intern right here on abc 7 several years ago. listen to this. the cure for baldness may lie in the order of mcdonald's french fries. scientists from japan say the ingredient is added to cooking oil to keep it from frothing. when they tested it on mice, the mice regrew hair. this is the first time they've mass-produced follicle germs with this method. the next step would be testing it on humans. mcdonald's hasn't commented on the study. >> who knew you needed to keep

oil from frothing at all? >> that's true. the latest fusion food find is taking san francisco by storm. it's called the k croissant. >> we want you to weigh in right now on our real-time poll. go to abc 7 news.com poll. and let us know what you think. here's kristin with more. >> meet the tacro, a combination of the taco and croissant. instagram would have you made this is a match made in culinary heaven. but is it? to investigate, we went to the ferry building today. the bakery opened its second location here two weeks ago and wanted to feature a defining new mashup that will equal or surpass the cronut. what is a tacro? >> it is a taco that we've made

out of a save out of a savory dough. >> it's definitely pricey, but it's definitely one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. >> would you instagram this, or would you already? >> she already did. >> the tacro shell is a modified version of their regular croissant. they made it less sweetd and buttery. pulled pork with pineapple, chicken with avocado and barbecued jack fruit. but they are experimenting with bacon and egg and sweet offerings. keep an eye out on your instagram feed. kristin sze, abc 7 news. >> i had one of these a few weeks ago. i personally thought it was delicious. crumbs all over your body, right? >> can't go wrong there, right? >> no, but we want to know what

you think. this is our instant poll. apparently, 38% of you say it looks delicious. about the same, 33% say isn't it just a sandwich? >> and about 32%, i'll pass. it's not too late to weigh in. go to abc 7 news.com/vote. >> you're into croissants and things from paris. >> i'm into things from paris, but not too many croissants. they taste great but they're a little buttery and caloric. >> indulge. >> i think you would come out, lots of positives with weather like this. here's a look at live doppler 7 hd on this sun eny and warm february day. here's the view from mt. tam. 77 in san jose. gilroy, 71 and 59 at half moon

winds up around 23 miles per hour in napa. during the overnight hours, winds in the hills rather strong. let's take a look at our wind concerns before the winds diminish tomorrow. mainly north bay and east bay hills will be affected by the strong gusty winds. and of koscourse that increases fire danger. as we look at tomorrow's high, it's going to be a warm day with temperatures in the mid-70s. san francisco 70. and at the coast, highs in the low to mid-70s again tomorrow. here's a look at the accuweather seven-day forecast. there won't be much change in the temperature range. low to mid-70s near the bay and inland through the remainder of the week with slight coastal cooling on friday, then a little cooler everywhere over the weekend but it does remain sunny and dry. and we're sunny and dry today when i visited laurel school,

going to, se going to exceed 3%. the federal reserve gets nervous and may have to raise rates three or four times to augment the cost of inflation. it's important to walk the balancing act that the federal reserve has to walk and make sure we don't have outrageous growth but moderate growth that can keep it contained. >> a mentor once told me sometimes you need to sit and be still. maybe that applies in this case, too. >> you don't panic, don't sell. stick to your money personality. don't sell because the market's down. it's certainly a good idea to diversify. don't put all your money in bitcoin. >> all sorts of cryptocurrency. also we have heard from other advisers. their advice being invest in international markets, for example. maybe there's insecurity there. what is your advice on that?
