It's even worse if, like me, you're diagnosed with adult ADD. Something that would take me 5-20 minutes in a quiet environment can easily take me a half day in a distraction-prone open office environment.

Those benefits are not worthwhile to me personally. I want to code, not constantly overhear office chatter.

They seem to be redirecting that url now. How spammy.

Yeah, I think it tends to be a difference between introverted / extroverted personalities. I also have somewhat severe ADD; open office layouts are fairly negatively impacting to my productivity.

My experiences interacting with the Rackspace Cloud have been terrible terrible terrible. I could probably write a short book on how bad some of it was. I literally had so many issues with them when last year (when our startup became extre

I actually might enjoy that. I don't particularly dig companies who try to force everything to be "social" inside the office. There is a time for that, sure, but getting peace and quiet to get in the hacking mindset is more important to me

The cult of enterprise solutions.

That's basically as old as humanity itself.

Why is that the real question?

Zuckerberg brought the use of profile-based websites into the mainstream for hundreds of millions of people. It's a massive shift in communications.

Depends on what the end goal is. Your method is poor for the engineer who wants to learn as much as possible about his trade.

Got the wavefront (expensive but less after-effects) PRK (no flap) version because I play in a recreational softball league and didn't want to risk getting sand or dust under the lens. It was painful for a couple days, then my eyes were wat

You've summed up precisely what I haven't been able to put into words about this.

Or the coupon thing is just a novelty that people will get tired of, for one of any number of reasons.

A long, long time ago. I've always been an excellent problem solver, it definitely didn't get me any jobs until I was a programmer.

I would say strongly, yes, they are making a $6B mistake. I'd say it is tantamount to Yahoo acquiring Geocities in 1999. Groupon will never become a juggernaut site the size of Facebook or Craigslist. It's niche and a novelty, not any kind

By the time technology gets to the point where a brain can be put into a vat I suspect all the neural connections could just be fully virtualized. Neural processing would become a whole lot faster at that point. Space travel could hypothet

Had the same issue and thought the form was just broken until I saw your comment. This is probably losing them a lot of signups.

I just turned thirty and approve this message. It'll certainly be interesting what cultural changes the next several decades bring.

I highlight text as I read and found the highlighter popup very distracting and annoying.

They "get away with it" because hundreds of millions of people continually buy their products.

LeechBlock is awesome. It actually includes wildcard blocking of subdomains as well -- that's extremely helpful to me (sadly I've found myself visiting de.reddit.com when the site was blocked in my hostfile.) I also love the custom redirec

Well, considering that he is innocent until proven guilty, he can sue for libel until her charges have been proven.

This is my general take on it as well.
