   My company implemented SAFe. You might have competition with those guys!

   In my experience, it depends on the person. Some people are more productive at home, others are distracted, end up playing video games and are never available online. Good mgmt would recognize this and enable employees to maximize their o

   I feel like the "Cloud DVR" is kind of a legal workaround, probably because of the contracts they have with media providers. PlayStation Vue has one and it sometimes offers you "recorded" content and sometimes "on-

   I'm a little sour on Apple. They say their products are rugged and "built to last", but an iPad is mostly glass which you need to encase in a giant rubber protective case if you don't want the screen shattered. Even th

   I agree, but I fell for it anyway. You are the better man. the article says basically "No", and is a junky advertisement that doesn't belong on HN in the first place.

   SurfaceBook is 1.0, and the subject of this post. SurfacePro is I think what you are referring to, and is on its 4th iteration.

   This seems obvious to me. Humans are not very durable. Most of the complexity of space travel is derived from trying to keep squishy fragile humans alive, and even then they die of old age before they can get anywhere outside the local sy

    From Norman, about 20 min south of OKC. The strides here have been huge in terms of activities. It used to be the case that there was nothing to do outside, especially in the humid/hot summer months. Now there are tons of things to

    I searched for this paper before it was published but couldn't find it. Turns out I just had to wait until they wrote it.

    If you already have a suitable sitting desk, consider one of these: http://www.varidesk.com/ . I lobbied for these at work and now we have hundreds of them, they are universally liked. I have 2 24" monitors on mine an

    I'm not surprised, they have been cranking out the same game over and over again, re-branded and/or adding slightly different abilities without changing the basic game. After playing the Star Wars version for a little while I del

    I live in a place that will never ban plastic bags and residents often fly giant flags from posts on their pickup trucks further reducing their fuel efficiency. But it seems this is a sort of social game designed to trick people into doing

    Yea, I think that's generally the idea. It's less about the standing and more about the constant weight shifting one does while standing up, everything remains engaged and you get some normal health benefit from it. My back hurt

    I recently completed a year long effort to convince my employer to deploy standing desks (turned out to be VariDesks). We must have hundreds of them now and many people are standing and love them. The general concensus (currently) seems to

    My experience with "Unlimited Vacation" was bad. I took maybe 3 weeks off over 1.75 years and always felt bad about it because there were others who never took days, though some later burned out. I get the idea, it's actual
