I often see articles about a lack of women in tech, but in fact I see even far fewer African Americans and to some extent Latin Americans. This company is one example. Another example: http://pivotallabs.com/team/

> We're a team of 46 in NYC with offices in the Lower East Side. Half of us work on the product (designing and coding), and the other half work with the community. We love what we do, and who we do it with.
Judging from my previous experiences in the tech world, I would guess that the non-community aspects are mostly filled by the males on the picture

#34This guy on the left is a sample of the whole team - http://imgur.com/dSrxP
The team does not seem racially diverse either. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

hmm, can you tell me what's changed? I think I remember seeing the page as is earlier.
The comments on the other thread (including the ones about the guy in the Echo Nest shirt) all seem to be valid on this iteration as well.

It looks pretty much exactly the same as I remember it. For instance, the guy in the EchoNest t-shirt, if I recall someone from EchoNest offered him a new version of the t-shirt last time.

#37I guess only two people were looking forward to getting their 'video' taken and came prepared: the guy with the Rubik's cube and the blonde girl with the flowers.
The girl with flowers actually sort of looked as if she was taking direction, "OK, now smell them!"

#39Hey look! People who live in New York who are fashionable and young. Better call them hipsters.
Is that not the definition of a hipster?!?!
I suspect that a real hipster wouldn't be seen dead working for Kickstarter, they're so mainstream these days.
Aside: I was watching Austin Powers the other day (it's fun, sue me)- Dr. Evil calls Austin an "aging hipster", using the actual real real definition of the term. Funny how words can change in a relatively short space of time.

#40Seems somebody has decided "7450px ought to be enough for anybody" (div#video_header)... what about dual T221s? ;-)
What does the right side of the page look like when you get past the end?
