If any one is interested in learning about biases further, I strongly recommend Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow". It changed the way I view the world in a lot of ways, and made me a lot more skeptical about my beli

Funny that this article is hardly getting any attention, even though it highlights major problems with America's workplace culture (as opposed to a single company). I guess this article is too nuanced for any visceral reactions?

I use SizeUp as well. One really nice feature is that there are keyboard shortcuts to move windows from one monitor to another. I tried some other OSX window managers but they were buggy, SizeUp ended up working the best.

This is the genetic fallacy[1] -- you're claiming that the argument is bad because of its source, not its content. If you think the article misappropriates Libertarianism, show how it does that. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org&#
