It seems I can always notice when people are doing things in reverse. It's like the uncanny valley for me, and it makes me uneasy for some reason.

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.
Define "real real definition". My understanding is that "hipster" was original a jazz subculture term from the 40s; as "hip" came to be a more popular term than "hep", people who used to be "hep cats" became "hipsters".
" The hipster adopted the lifestyle of the jazz musician, including some or all of the following: dress, slang, use of cannabis and other drugs, relaxed attitude, sarcastic humor, self-imposed poverty and relaxed sexual codes."
That doesn't describe the Powers character entirely, but it would sort of fit Dr. Evil's own 'un-hip, aged' attitude towards the 60's.
And that this point I am going to stop cross-examining comedy movies on HN.
Seems somebody has decided "7450px ought to be enough for anybody" (div#video_header)... what about dual T221s? ;-)
Anyone with that kind of hardware must be punished for their excess with ugly layouts.
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

The girl with flowers actually sort of looked as if she was taking direction, "OK, now smell them!"
