Can understand this sentiment in younger people. As someone in his mid-40s, even living in New York City, I just picked up a car (after 8 years of not having one) and have been enjoying driving it so much. It's just something I grew up with and love to do as an activity.

I suppose it depends on the driving.

Earlier this morning I was cruising some empty county roads, windows down enjoying the (relatively) warm weather and sunshine, blasting some Chris Thile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8I07VIxyQM.

If I was stuck in the stop & go city traffic where having my windows down meant getting a face full of exhaust, I'd hate it to.

Same. Sparrow is still my favorite email app on the Mac. Sadly had to give up on it with iOS as it just got super wonky. Will use it as long as it works on OSX.

Still using Sparrow, but wondering if it works on El Capitan? Does anybody use it on El Capitan?

I use it with El Capitan. Still works fine.

Better than fine. Works great. Still the best email client, even after not being updated for years. That's saying something.

I like using "neat" as well. Then again I'm in my forties ;)

I also like using "fantastic" instead of awesome and often get strange looks, but a bonus of being older is I don't give a crap!

Lol, "awesome" is widely mocked in the UK.

Got to ride this yesterday, and I've seen a lot of NYC Subway stops. This one is amazing. Comes at a price though for sure.

Seconded. I like reading and learning here. There is a lot I don't know. And that's cool. Most folks are in the same boat. Thanks for the comment.

+2. Can't live without it. I'm paralyzed on a machine without it (or Alfred)

Fantastic comment. Wise in so many ways.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Right now the TOS are basically stock, so we have something at launch (lawyers!). We can modify them at any time so welcome input and I'll be sure to talk to them about striking such language. Thanks again.

One of the points that always seems to be lost in these criticisms and rebuttals and debates is that Gladwell spawns conversion. And that's a very good thing. Nothing should be taken as sacrosanct on either side. It's good to prod and examine these issues and bring more views to the table. Hopefully that leads to more questions... not dogma.

Spawning conversations on the basis of poor or misleading evidence is not a worthwhile endeavor. While nothing should be taken as sacrosanct, one needs to have solid evidence or a reasonable argument before they start prodding and examining issues.

Just saying "Hey, what if?" is not an incredible benefit to society if the claims are not properly testable.

I respectfully disagree. Dialog is a good thing. He may very well be wrong at times though I don't believe he's attempting to mislead people.

Personally, I never want to stop saying, "What if". That question has led to amazing things.

Politicians do this all the time. Fox News and the mainstream media make their careers out of it. I think we as a society have forgotten how to deconstruct an argument and fact check the specifics.

Deconstructing arguments is difficult, and fact-checking is incredibly time consuming with often little immediately benefit (besides the smug sensation of knowing more that it often provides).

This is why popularizers and journalists have an incredible responsibility to provide this deconstruction and fact checking on behalf of the public, and it's why there is so much outrage, particularly from the scientific community, when they fail.

I totally agree..

I know, i was just building on what you said :)

It's not hard to start a conversation. Doing so by using selective data and unsupported conclusions is not a good thing.
