I remember coming across a 2011 article on similar behavior by a New York investor, where I could not figure out whether the writers were condoning the behavior, in an almost fawning tone, or highlighting a problem. http://observer.com/2011/11/charlie-odonnell-women-in-tech-d...

Just read it again, it is beyond cringeworthy.

He's now an investor in The Wing

The free-food patterns don't apply on a company which is frugal by nature, e.g. Amazon

Kickstarter money is not same as investment money. Most/all of it gets used up in fulfilling the orders

He has something in common with Indian housewives and temples: http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2011/07/14/indias-600-bil...

> This is a hiring market that they can easily dominate by offering salaries of 50k-90k

Yes. Most of academia pays as per NIH guidelines -- http://www.niaid.nih.gov/researchfunding/paybud/pages/salary...

Even 60K will get them a PhD with 5 years of experience anyday

Yeah but think of the cost of living difference. I'd much rather make 40k doing a post-doc at Carnegie Mellon in cheap-ass Pittsburgh than make 50k in the Bay Area. The rent difference alone is going to be way more than 10k.

Great link, I didn't even know such a salary cap existed. I guess that explains a lot of it.

For reference, PhD plus 7 years experience is a total of 12-14 years experience, depending on how long the PhD took.

One can argue for payment reforms in India. But Uber, by knowingly ignoring the norms, had gained an unfair advantage over local services (Olacabs, Taxiforsure, Meru, etc). This levels the playing field.

I think Autowale predates Uber (or runs close), guess someone edited the title appropriately

..but reddit won't be reddit if there was no anonymity

sorry but you have to be really disconnected with reality to think there's no anonymity in g+

Just pick a new name instead of a lame novelty reddit user name.

Just look the amount of names ending in Goldstein there. It's like the whole state of new York signed up.

You can be anonymous, but most people aren't. Have you spend some time at reddit? It's about the culture, not the policy.

Certainly not a clever innuendo. Looks more like an oversight. There isn't much awareness about Star of David in India.

It is the easiest star to sketch -- even my teacher in elementary school used to use the same star in my grading.

Hmm. We weren't (and aren't) aware of Star of David.

FYI it's the flag of Israel...

I like how Meetup does it: http://www.meetup.com/whats_new/?offset=80
