This almost looks like it's not a PR piece for Men's Warehouse.

This time the client is the necktie trade association. Just follow the quotes: user, expert, expert, client.

I see now - thanks. They must have paid a lot for this placement. I personally have seen 0 younger artsy people wearing ties in SF.

I agree that the tie is back. I wear a tie to my lab everyday. Sometimes it gets in the way as I fiddle with the calibration knobs on my oscilloscope, but people take my research findings a lot more seriously these days as a result of it.

What? Startup hackers following the herds and their fashion fads? Next thing you know, they'll expect all of us to go out and get jobs too, just like everyone else.

Moo.

Are you being sarcastic? You need to read PGs essay "The Submarine" to put this in context.
