How do you compare lifestyles between SF and suburban Chicago? What if I have a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge in SF and I go jogging through the Presidio in the morning and have lunch in Chinatown? How much does the home cost in Kansas that affords me that same lifestyle? Oh, yeah, right, infinity dollars.

As hard as this may be to believe for the suburban castle folk, there are things that weigh heavier on someone's quality of life than how many square feet (or bathrooms or garages) their home has. People are different, they care about different things.

You will never understand why people choose to live in San Francisco or Manhattan until you understand that people value different things.

Or anybody else for that matter. Everything under the sun has prior art. Every "new" invention involves combining some prior technology with a spit-shine and then reselling it.

Apple is held to a standard that noone else in technology has ever been held to.

Safari has always been an extremely standards compliant web browser. And Apple is a huge supporter of Webkit which the underlying rendering engine in several other browsers.

You're completely full of shit. You don't like Apple because you don't like Apple customers.

They make hundreds of billions of dollars by selling physical devices to willing customers--it's always been this way.

75% of the country is white. FB is obviously doing a very good job of attracting non-white employees--they are [in fact] over-represented by a significant margin.

I'm glad that option is available to people who want to work that way, but it sounds way too rigid for me. I like being able to work on my schedule. What if I get on a roll and want to work later one night and then roll in late the next morning? I don't want the work/life balance Gestapo to padlock my keyboard at 5:00pm and then cattle prod me into the office at 9:00am the next morning. Seriously, it sounds horrible.

I have met *a lot* of workaholics--it is a really common personality type in the US for a variety of cultural reasons.

Some people just like to work a lot. People are different.

to most Europeans why someone might enjoy work.

Are you claiming that Americans are stupid because we're tricked into working long hours? or are you claiming that it's a myth that Americans work so much because Mexico & Greece work longer hours? (presumably this is why those countries have such impressive economies).

I don't see how you can have it both ways. We're either dumb and exploited for working too much or we're lazier than a couple of countries that need bailouts every other year. Pick one.

VMS had this 25 years ago.

You know that, right?

Why would they bite off on the hassle of supporting their dev environment running on a bunch of incompatible Linux distributions? (not to mention Windows).
