I think there is a deeper conversation to be had over here -- many outfits in the valley seduce engineers and the talent with this spiel of making money, while as you say the chances of this happening is very rare. In expectation, one would probably make more money working at FB/Google/Apple over a lifetime than at a random startup. Founders would likely prosper, and of course investors will likely recoup their money but most of the time a staff engineer wouldn't make much. I feel that the VCs in the valley are running this racket of seducing and exploiting talent, all the while knowing that most folks wouldn't get much out of the hard work. I suppose one can make a case of Wall Street being more fair in terms of wages distributed as a function of effort (and ensuing results) put in.

Yes we are indeed spoofing the UA and you are quite right that it is easy to circumvent this. This is a first step and our intention is to have more people use this and give us feedback so that we can make it better. Thanks much for your very helpful suggestions and comments.

Price discrimination -- the ability to tailor prices according to your willingness to pay. The willingness to pay can conceivably be extracted using your browsing information. Yield management is a type of PD but it doesn't use personal information.

Very welcome! Thanks for the comment -- currently no. The system we have in place shows you prices as found from different locations -- so if you search from the US you will be shown prices in $$ and if you search from say Brazil, you will see prices in Reals. We can add the conversion as a feature.
