seriously the casual polo shirt or hoodie seems much more a valley affectation than just wearing a reasonable shirt eventually

if you live in SF having a zip-up sweater-type thing is really handy. usually those end up being hoodies. i kinda hate hoodies but i have two.

lol be serious people that rich can afford knitwear like they do everywhere else the weather is sometimes in the 60s. it has nothing to do with the climate.

good call

oh man, I met up with a friend when I was in SF and since I'd just been wandering around all day I was wearing a hoodie and felt way overdressed since she'd just got off work. In retrospect, it was near the financial district so people probably weren't thinking "ugh, slob" they were probably thinking "ugh, those damn tech people"

felt way _underdressed_ that is

space is deep (mh), Friday, 6 September 2013 13:36 (twelve years ago)

socki (s1ocki), Friday, 6 September 2013 22:29 (twelve years ago)

pat smear and taylor hawkins are dressed like they're ready to do server backups

Philip Nunez, Friday, 6 September 2013 23:57 (twelve years ago)

More that the SF clothing aesthetic is to look frumpy even if you're hailed as a paragon of industrial design.

i am furious at these rich people for letting the side down

how often do you think people who work at Apple want to son him but they can't since they still work there

Trying to describe the difference in usability between the iPad Air and its predecessors is an exercise which puts my wordsmithing skills to the test.

This paragraph strikes me as the central thesis of the entire memo. In a nut, it’s a sincere version of “Don’t be evil.”

*barf*

schwantz, Thursday, 16 January 2014 02:00 (twelve years ago)

the memo was inside a nut

lag∞n, Thursday, 16 January 2014 02:01 (twelve years ago)

Some Classic Claim Chowdhry ★
So much to choose from, but here’s a good one from 2009:

Investors should not think the upcoming version of iPhone 3 is going to be as successful as iPhone 2.0 because it will have solid competition from Palm Pre, developed by ex-Apple designer Jon Rubinstein.

Palm Pre has a superior operating system than iPhone. It runs on a better network — Sprint CDMA — versus iPhone which runs on GSM.

I mean, obviously, the original assertion was comical, but dragging up things in 2014 that someone said on the internet in 2009 is a deeply, deeply vindictive and fearful tactic often rooted in deep personal insecurity. If this guy was a co-worker I'd steer around him.
