I think he is saying that it works for people who are either "at work" or "at home". Once you want to have your work notifactions during your leisure time, it gets complicated.

Just because your job is in Manhattan, does not necessarily mean that you need to live in Manhattan (especially not in that $15k/month penthouse).

I concur. But from what I've read online, you'd be the only person that "suits up" to go shopping at Walmart. (Do not live in America, though.)

The falsity of a given (prominent!) data point just puts the care and diligence of the author into question and plants doubt in the reader's mind. It doesn't imply the validity of an opposing narrative.

Top of my head: Patrick, Thomas and probably a lot of other HN regulars.
Looking besonders technology: lawyers, marketing and branding consultants, and, last but not least, management consultants.
