Goliath the Philistine was six cubits and a span. The internet tells me that 6'0" is the manlet cutoff. He should have either embraced his original height, or asked for a discount since the doctor was two inches short of the mark.

I'd imagine one can only lengthen their limbs so much before they end up looking like a Japanese spider crab.
Do you think remote first companies will be at an advantage because physical biases like height, age, and weight have less signal to form against?
For what it means to dating, I think the requirement to be at least 6 feet tall for US women would disappear due to statistics (the mean male height in the USA is 5'9"). Heck, some guys who are 5'7" or 5'9" says to those women they are 6 feet and they believe it; It's more a psychological thing than a real preference as a have seen.

Maybe, but many remote-first companies eventually hold in-person events. I recently met the folks on my all-remote team for the first time, and it was a little jarring to see the differences between expectation and reality.

I would also argue height advantages do not really factor in until one reaches leadership positions. At that point the job probably dictates being in person at least part time.
My cousin had this procedure done almost 30 years ago, but she was pathologically small, at a height which makes it hard to function.
