careful what you wish for. I also like silence. But I'd rather use noise cancelling headphones than work in the booth among thousands other booths.
I appreciate a nice pair of noise-cancelling headphones, but they tend to cause pain and irritation when worn for long periods of time.

I would take a 10% paycut to have a small office that fits 2 monitors, a filing cabinet and some pictures, rather then dealing with constant clattering of the guy behind me that decided converting a type writer into a digital keyboard was a good idea.
The mechanical keyboard people in open offices bother me.
If you don't like them, complain to your manager that you need walled offices.
Why do CEO's think they're alone in the need for quiet spaces where they can focus? Sure some people can work in the noisy space where interruptions abound. The only thing in my office that works well with interruptions is my CPU. I'd rather have a Cube farm, but better yet, a small tiny phone booth as an office.

Cubes can be setup properly. They don't need to be row after row after row of cubes. We have them setup in pods that hold 6-8 people, one pod for each dev team. Only one way in or out, so there's no traffic moving through, with a small table in the middle that's mainly used to eat lunch or store treats that people bring in.
Does anyone actually like it? It's super noisy. It's become pretty popular in cafes around here, and they're almost unbearable at busy times.

How is this not just stealing their work?
Maybe it is? Idk, I'm no ethicist so I wouldn't be able to justify it. But is it any different than using the web link to get a google redirect when you didn't really come from google? Or using incognito mode? Perhaps the better discussion is about how a community forum handles articles which only a subset of people can access.

Brown-type switches are OK, it's the blue-type keys that are problematic.
I was told my brown switches were horrendous :(

Why on earth would I need to "log in" in order to read an article?

It's one thing to find a loophole in their paywall to view their content on their site. It seems to me that it's quite another to scrape their content and serve it up somewhere else in its entirety.
