This happened to me the other night. I checked into a bar and was asked by someone I was with why I did it. Seconds later, I received a text from a friend saying she was in the area and wanted to meet up. I said to the person who asked, "Th

Right, but I mean is it good to support your arms with your elbows in the same position for hours to possibly years? I didn't mean for fatigue. It just doesn't seem to me (as a layman) as if any of our joints would appreciate that over the

The ones that I've seen being put in schools have a little bar to lean forward with one foot. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a lot more comfortable and ergonomic than standing straight.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a proper ergonomic standing desk have a bar or step to rest a foot for long-term activity? Also, are you supposed to hold your elbows in that position for long periods of time? I feel like there should

I think it is correct for you to specifically solicit infographic designers. Some astounding artists just don't know how to gracefully represent data in an aesthetically appealing way. Check out http://www.informationisbeautiful.net for s

Thankfully, it looked to be very few people. His article was written--and his tests were conducted--just about as poorly as they could have been. It was a huge show, and HN caught on quickly as far as I can tell.

I believe you're talking about the GMail functionality, but the Receivd team will definitely be able to see the +hn in the email address you send them. Google has nothing to do with it.

The findings are false-positive proof since I have used the tool that discovered it for six years now and I am yet to see it misidentify an item throughout the years. Thus, it is false-positive proof? Why wouldn't he test it against other
