I'll be happy if it happens, but I'm not holding my breath. Abuse is literally in their corporate DNA. I guess if his vitriol was universal, maybe that makes it more palatable than hate targeted at one group? What a world.

And for the record, I'm not a fan of purity tests or waiting for Superman. Just because they haven't scrubbed Jobs doesn't mean they are unfit to have made this move.

Highly recommend David Clarke's work, especially his Sherlock Holmes readings. For me, he's the best Sherlock narrator I've heard.

He also runs a chain of Houston coffee shops; their mugs sit proudly in my cabinet! Felt great to compensate someone for many many hours of public good.

Classism in America 10 years ago

I lived in the south for some time, and being from the midwest ('no' accent), I was always called a yankee. Sometimes as a joke, but there were plenty of cases where it made me feel uncomfortable.

Another common one: people posting that they're going on vacation or posting pictures from vacation while still on it. Sure, your friends might not break into your place, but what if their laptop gets stolen and the thief sees you're not going to be home for a week?

I do agree that it should be up to the professionals, but consider amateurs moving into professional sports.

If college football players can't take steroids, they will get __destroyed__ in the NFL. If college players can take steroids, then highschool players will stand no chance at moving up. Likewise, if you make it fine for high school players, middle school gets punished, etc.

I don't doubt that professionals could successfully regulate it and do it (mostly) responsibly. I have a severe lack of faith in desperate parents living vicariously through their kids in little league games.

I'm a bit north of LA, but the country club golf course has never been greener ;-)

Joking aside, it does feel like people are trying to make a difference and conserve.

I wonder if you could build a small, money generating business from answering exactly that. If you could get more recent data dumps at some interval, you could even provide an email alert system.

I work at a PHP shop, coming from a Python background. I chose to come here for the team, certainly not the language. When I asked about why some things are inconsistent in PHP compared to other languages, its age was a common defense. I was shocked to find that Python is older than PHP, and Ruby is the same age!

To some extent, though. When I'm home, my mother gets extremely frustrated (still!) that there isn't one remote that does everything.

My experience is very similar to keithwarren's. I lift almost every work day, and generally just stand to work out some of the stress in my muscles. I prefer sitting. Some days my shoulders will bug me or something so it's nice to be up and shake around a little bit.

The Embody is just the best :-) People can't believe that a chair could make such a huge difference, but it really does.

Testing at Airbnb 12 years ago

you did. Thanks for answering! I'm definitely the one leading the (small) group of devs who test here. Your article was great motivation for our cause.
