Where does Wikipedia say that it wasn't used in the intervening decades? That's not true. Look at the ngram link I supplied – it clearly was in use. What do you think it meant?
That hipster bullshit is getting tired. The stereotypes are stupid and it all comes down to berating people for what they wear – for whatever stupid reason. Why would that ever be cool?
All I see is lots of young people who know how to dress fashionable.
I am currently visiting/working in NYC and staying on the Lower East Side. Seriously, everyone here dresses like that--this hipster thing goes way deeper than I could have imagined...
What style of dress do you expect for people in their 20's dressing casually? This is such a silly label that it's almost not worth arguing over, but I fail to see what expectation has failed for you here.
(Seriously though, amazing work on the video implementation. I already thought the panorama idea was executed nicely, and then the people started moving. Big kudos here.)
They also have a very impressive Jobs page http://www.kickstarter.com/jobs, the last one in the list labeled "It's fun!" has a couple of cool things when you hover over the links.
Same here. 16.0.1 Windows 7. CPU didn't max out but it was high and the browser was unusable. I managed to close the tab but the CPU was still high and browser was unresponsive. I had to kill the process.
+1. Sent my Firefox 16.0.2 browser into hyperspace on Ubuntu.
Is there a way to just kill an offending tab? Pages like this take over my old-ish hardware so completely that trying to close a tab in the normal way is impossible. It is a design flaw for Firefox to allow any webpage to have this much power. Maybe a setting that forbids any page from consuming more than X% CPU for t time without explicit permission? Killing the whole FF process is far from ideal. I'd be willing to switch browsers if another better handled this issue?
I've filed a bug regarding this : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=806311 Feel free to add your system information on that bug or describe what you faced or any other constructive input possible there. You can also CC yourself to follow along the progress.
Btw I tried this in the latest Firefox nightly and it seems that the nightly doesn't crash although the CPU usage does go up to 50%, so it seems that this bug has been fixed and will be released in the upcoming stable releases.
Just in case anyone missed it – you should be able to pan the image horizontally to see more people. (For some reason, this didn't work for me the first time I loaded the page.)
Nice try but too many errors in the implementation; the asian girl with red shoes gets her elbow deformed by pixel repetition; also the going forwards and then backwards by every video block makes everyone look creepy, also there is a long pause to restart and the beginning/end does not match (this could be more of a Chrome issue).
It would have been better to use a "Fade In/Out" effect for lopping or move through the frames based on the absolute position of the mouse (or any other nice effect that doesn't require the videos to loop).
It's mostly effective. Most team pages I close after a few seconds. This one actually had me playing around with it for a few minutes and was something I passed around to people I know.
Gojee also based in NYC is another, but they took down their team page for some reason, mostly Asian and Whites. My buddy's startup up Skim.me is another, but they are mostly Asian with a White CTO. I'm not trying to gather a posse against kickstarer, I just thought their would be more non-whites with the geography and focus in tech.

Oh, I see what you did there.

Seriously I hate sound playing in my web browser, specially when it's ads :/

I'm pretty sure both areas are filled with well-dressed 20-somethings capable of sitting still for extended periods of time.
How long is the video playing before it loops ?

I feel they could've done this better. Still an impeccable jobs. The best team page I've seen so far.
*Crashstarter?

edit: totally forgot about the East Indians.
Off the top of my head, the only one that comes to mind is Inkling [1].
