I have used http://matias.ca/quietpro/ in an office environment. It feels 90% as good as a clicky keyboard and the colleagues I've asked about it don't mind the little noise it does put out.

Tim Harford collected some good insights on this in the Automation chapter of his book "Messy: How to Be Creative and Resilient in a Tidy-Minded World". The essence of his complaint revolves around Air France Flight 447 and attrib

The Royal Navy still does this - partially because you want to ensure that whoever is going to relieve you at 0400 is definitely awake and getting ready. I always slept more soundly when I was getting a "shake" versus relying on m

To be fair, I've never seen the boot used in a black cab. The passenger compartments are huge and provide enough room for luggage with passengers. I can imagine it might be awkward if you want to get a wheelchair/pushchair in as w

I reckon you could stretch this to a 30 minute whiteboard session to answer why (some) manhole covers are round.
