Wouldn't that followed by a "Why?"
I've been working remotely for my entire freelance career (~20 years). Very occasionally I'll go on site for certain local clients but that's not the norm.

There's huge wins for working remotely that everyone has already stated but the isolation factor is real, especially if you're single.

It might seem fun for a while (couple of months) to not wear pants at work and be able to put in 4 super productive hours of work before 10am if you wake up early and those are great things but I have to wonder if working remotely has long term mental health issues.

To get human interaction I force myself to leave the house (I walk a few times a day for exercise), have some friends and hobbies, run errands etc. but it's not the same as being out of the house for 8-10+ hours a day. I'd like to see a test done on single people who have been working remotely for 5+ years and seeing if they have higher levels of general anxiety than anyone working a job where they need to commute full time.

Even if you have a private office where you spend 95% of your time alone for ~8 hours, that's so much different (arguably better) than not leaving your house or apartment except for occasional short duration activities.
Lyme doesn't have outward symptoms like the flu: https://www.webmd.com/arthritis/do-i-have-lyme-disease

Lyme borreliosis is persistent and hard to kill once it establishes itself in the form of biofilms/plaques: https://akademiai.com/doi/abs/10.1556/1886.2015.00049

Lyme is a common term for a bunch of different infections (borreliosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis), while AIDS is just a single virus.

AIDS has been known to the medical community decades longer than Lyme has: https://www.bayarealyme.org/about-lyme/history-lyme-disease/

Lyme is known as "the great imitator" as it is so often misdiagnosed: https://drjaydavidson.com/lyme-the-great-imitator/

Lyme borreliosis may be transferred in utero, so a child could be born with latent infection: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1586/14787210.2015.1...

It's easier in a fully remote office. I've paired with people across the ocean using tools like Zoom and committing continuously. When specialty software is required, I've also worked on a common AWS instance used as a desktop with the driver connecting to the instance to type.
Posting this as a top level comment as well, found a bit more info after a cursory search, make of it what you will.

Exactly. Burning e.g. 500 calories on daily basis is much more strenuous on both your body and your agenda than cutting 500 calories from your diet.
>Put someone not on a spectrum in a society of people on the spectrum, & you'd be labelling the person not on the spectrum as having a mental disorder.

You could still argue that non-spectrum people are more "naturally" normal. Competition among societies has selected for groups where non-spectrum individuals are more numerous, possibly because this ratio leads to less conflict and more cooperation.

I wonder if groups are selected for a prevalence of 2 to 4 individuals per thousand [1] because these types of individuals have been responsible for technological progress in some way.

Thank you so much that was really useful!
I would not agree. I simply loath the open space office..

We are cramped up like industry workers in 1880.. Yes we are social creatures and we need DIFFERENT levels of interaction with others. BUT we are not cattle to cramp us up desk to desk.
If you live in an apartment in Sweden it's now often treated as a utility. I have the following things included in my rent: water, (central) heating and 1Gb/1Gb internet. I don't even know which provider it is.
Not sure if this matters for your overall point, but mac os updates are downloaded asynchronously, it's their installation that locks up your computer for 20 minutes.

Sounds like an inconsequential detail, but I can't readily think of any recent experience where I actually did have to wait for a download to finish before I could continue doing anything. Most things are either streaming or background, nowadays.

Perhaps Steam?

yes, by that time private capital was interested in funding a rail line, this however was the first one
The other possibility I don't see discussed often is they might simply be trying to become big and entrenched enough that bailouts of some variety (probably just endless tax breaks extracted at the local level) become mandatory for the business to survive.

If you entrench yourself deeply enough and people are looking at eviction and foreclosure and cancelling construction projects they could fight for this. Call it capitalism by hostage negotiation.

This actually seems to be what some larger companies like GE are planning on, (and Foxconn has already executed successfully) but it's bizarre to see this plan launched at the IPO stage.
When you're bitten by ticks, how do you prevent getting Lyme disease? Or did you get Lyme disease?
Here's a simple fix to getting people to not obsess over debt - eliminate debt. Recognize it as the nonlinear burden that it is, and that, unlike Krugman's belief that ignoring it makes it a'ok, that it needs to be addressed and not kicked to the next generation. Make it unacceptable for politicians to incur debt for anything other than a catastrophe, and absolutely not as a normal way of doing business. Yes, America, I'm especially criticizing you, for 20 trillion reasons and counting. After all, if it's so unimportant, then it should be trivial to eliminate.
This is correct. The one saving grace of borreliosis is that azithromycin/doxycycline/etc are largely all out-of-patent, so the generics are cheap regardless of where you are.
Doesn't water cool when it changes state? Ice melting should be pulling down temps for the time in that spot? More heat would evaporate more water and thus cool more?
I'm not sure if it's the source material or Youtube's compression, but music on Youtube often sounds terrible compared to e.g. Spotify. There are obvious artifacts and dynamic range issues.
Yes he idea is that they get on you low and walk up. I’m not sure of the effect permethrin has on discouraging grabbing on vs walking up.
It is always possible anywhere in uncountable ways to spend money to save lives. Whether you like the idea or not, we all make trade-off decisions about money vs lives every day.
But we can never hit 0, and infinity is a long time.

That's leaving aside that 2 is already pretty unlikely given what we know of the universe.
> they might simply be trying to become big and entrenched enough that bailouts of some variety

The implied source of such bailouts are the landlords, who may prefer to cut lease terms versus see e.g. 40% of their portfolio blow out simultaneously. (My personal view is yes, landlords will renegotiate terms. But they'll also demand an arm and a leg, likely in the form of senior debt and aggressive warrant coverage.)
Sorry, but my point stands. In Facebook's case, there is absolutely zero reason to assume good intentions, give the benefit of the doubt, have general good-will, or believe its employees regarding privacy aims.
> but overall it’s a process of no one trusting the workers to take on work and hit deadlines if they’re not in meetings telling you about it.

I mean... sometimes you need to course-correct, no? And cross pollination is useful, isn't it?

"Just Shut Up And Get It Done" workflow means that people might be spinning their wheels building the wrong thing (or duplicate things) in their silos.

Come on, there's got to be a few meetings to synchronize vision, scope, etc. within a team.
From the language standpoint, the inline specifier doesn't force the compiler to inline the function. But I guess some compilers could provide guarantees that go beyond what the spec says.

> You’re complaining about city and transportation architecture, not workplace design.

More like, complaining that the whole design of modern city life is around work. As more and more people work remotely, cities will change, habits will change. People who work at home have been largely neglected for decades; we feel out of sync with cities and other people, almost marginalized. This has to change.
Landlords leave spaces empty all the time. Or they'll even bulldoze a building, get a tax cut, and lease the space to a parking lot operator rather than take the easy way out and lease their space at low rates.
Pollution gets into leaves and in the fruits. Question is whether it will make it unsafe for humans, probably not, but it still can affect the plant's health and the amount of crops that you can harvest.

"Tomato, watermelon, squash, potato, string beans, snap beans, pinto beans, tobacco, soybeans, cantaloupe, muskmelon, alfalfa, beets, sunflower, carrots, sweet corn, gourds, green peas, turnips, grapes, peaches, and strawberries are some of the more susceptible crops to air pollution damage. Cucumbers, pumpkins, and peppers are less susceptible. Watermelon and squash are the most sensitive of the cucurbits followed by cantaloupe."

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there is actually a code of ethics within my union, I'll try to seek it out and see what we may want to do. Could be cool.
Video conferencing isn't the only use for upload bandwidth. There are lots of other use-cases which are much more mainstream, like streaming, YouTube uploads, backups (lots of phones these days do photo/video backups automatically), photo sharing, etc. Downloads are still more common of course, but these days I'd say upload bandwidth gets used far more than it ever has in the past.
Given the point of Mastodon I'd wager quite strongly that the Venn diagram of users of Mastodon and those who are likely to have heard an anecdote about the FSF overlap by quite a way.

I could be wrong on that, but my personal anecdata is that noone who doesn't already care about free software is really aware of their message about free software.
Hong Kong Residents to Form 20-Mile Human Chain, Mimicking Baltic Way
Article describes a scheme for encoding lat/long into pronounceable words, down to 2 figures past the decimal point, which is enough to get you about a kilometer square (at the equator, finer towards the poles), so appropriate for names of cities and towns but not individual houses.

Extending the scheme to longer words for more precision seems straightforward but is not discussed.

What's unique about this as compared to W3W or OLC or any other schemes is that the encoding is so simple it can be done in your head once you learn the table. I suspect that folks who dealt a lot with locations would learn to do so very quickly, somewhat like De Smet speculates that Soundex coding on driver's license numbers might enable bouncers to quickly suss out sloppy fakes where the DLN doesn't match the printed name: http://www.highprogrammer.com/alan/numbers/dl_us_shared.html

Seriously, some of the less intrusive locations on the spectrum just strike me as being particularly vocal about logical inconsistencies to one's own detriment.
I don't believe this is supported at all by anything. You see fraud cases perpetrated by all types of workers: warehouse employees "losing" a box, office drones abusing leave policies, CEOs raiding the corporate coffers. People inclined to commit fraud are inclined to commit fraud relative to their position, but it's unlikely the position itself is the driving factor.
I've been developing software for the better part of a decade (granted, not the most senior developer around, but still) -- their message comes off as unreasonable to me, if only because it revolves around heavily criticising the state of the industry without offering a clear alternative for anyone.

I say this as a former full-time user of a pretty huge chunk of their software offering, from emacs, to GCC, to screen -- over the years, I realised that many of their APIs or feature sets aren't modern, and better alternatives exist.
I think that 7 mile number is low, I think its more like at least 50 if not 100 miles, by the time the transcon line existed.
Not exactly. It actually took me a while to figure out that WeWork even offers this, but for $45 a month you can have access to pretty much any common area at any WeWork, with a per-visit fee ($25-$50) and 2 credits per month.

In other words, I can travel and work remotely, and maybe once or twice a week check into a WeWork for a proper work space, unlimited coffee, and a bit of camaraderie and networking. For $100-$200 a month.
You are correct for weight loss. The only reliable way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories.

However, when it comes to supporting your current weight, it is fairly easy to hit equilibrium with exercise.

The coordination needed to type fast on this keyboard seems like it'd be an issue. Additionally, defining "simultaneously pressed keys" seems hard and would oppose typing speed if it were to be more permissive and cause typing errors if it were tighter.
I think a more accurate description is "Open Source Lat/Long Alternative". Addresses, at least in my part of the world, work relatively well for telling a person where you are, given some knowledge of the town.

I can tell someone "College between Drake and Prospect" and they can picture it in their head. Sure, it requires some level of knowledge of the town, but no level of knowledge of the town is going to make "HW8C+FH" something that someone can picture. They're going to have to plug it into their phone.

I work in real estate, and this doesn't really solve anything for our system either. These codes don't solve our address problems (of which there are many). It doesn't solve parcel identification. Not really sure what it does solve other than shorter lat/long.
To be clear, the WeWork model is not new. Flexible office space in multiple locations has been a thing for decades from companies like Regis. I've used several of them without issue since before WeWork was even announced. What WeWork did was make it cool/startup-friendly and market the hell out of it while charging a premium that companies flush with investor cash can afford to pay out.
Not sure why this is down voted, excerpt from the abstract shows that they view nutrition as the main reason for the gap.

> There is an urgent need for an integrated approach to rural nutrition that enhances financial and physical access to healthy foods, to avoid replacing the rural undernutrition disadvantage in poor countries with a more general malnutrition disadvantage that entails excessive consumption of low-quality calories.

It's pretty widely accepted that nutrition trumps exercise in weight loss. I will say that my observations align with OP, urban lifestyles tend to be less sedentary then suburban/rural. But my observations could also be skewed by age differences, which presumably this study controlled for (didn't read the whole thing).
I can easily imagine a future where people on the spectrum are more than half of the workforce of some companies.

Simply because it's generally easier and more efficient for Aspies to work with other Aspies.

And I think that might open a whole new range of problems...

Much more interested in hearing about the NLS/Augment clone! :)
While increased speed isn't justifiable for many subscribers, as streaming and web-browsing is mostly all they do, there are a few fairly common use cases where slow speeds cause frustration (game downloads, and software updates, for example). Once the capacity is installed, there's little cost in providing a high speed last-mile connection to a subscriber, versus a lower speed using the same hardware, yet the data transferred by a subscriber translates more directly to increased costs for the ISP.

I expect that in the future, price differentiation based on speed may go away, and data transfer caps / metering become more commonplace. Data transfer contributes more directly to the ISP's costs, and offering subscribers a faster connection makes it easier to consume.
You're really comparing prisons that only allow virtual communication to working remotely? Lets brainstorm a list of ways that you can see people while working from home that you couldn't from prison.

1. If you have any family members that will be home throughout the day you can see them

2. You can step outside and talk to your neighbors

3. You can take a 10 minute break to walk to a local store/park

4. You can go out to lunch at restaurant

5. You can invite anyone to come over at any time

6. Before and after work, you can go anywhere you want, do anything you want, and see anyone you want as well as on weekends

So it seems it's not quite like a prison... not to mention you can also call, text, video chat, IM, or communicate virtually at any time rather than only during certain periods of time with certain people as told by the prison.

Also, if you're working in an office, how much time are you actually spending socializing and interacting with coworkers vs getting your work done?

I understand that some people have a need to interact with people daily, but many of us prefer the quiet/isolation while we work, and comparing remote work to prison is ridiculous

I'd disagree on the salaries drop. Imagine if poor immigrants weren't allowed in the US. Bathrooms wouldn't clean itself (maybe in Japan?). What would happen is that many more Americans would be working on entry-level jobs than currently: this is something hard to see because we take what we have for granted, and seeing what we wouldn't have is harder. Another point is that we produce just a couple of things our whole lives, but consume hundred of thousands. The more diverse the knowledge, expertise, and wish to work of people around us, the better we tend to be.
Yes, this is exactly what I'm saying. A brusque "no" can feel personal, especially if one feels that one has made a gentle request when one doesn't have to. People who understand social cues know what kind of answer is expected and "meet in the middle". A "no" can appear to be anything between an unemphatic response to a request to assistance to outright defiance.

Making a gentle ask spends emotional energy and it makes it a little harder inside to tolerate a blunt refusal well.

This extends to interactions with school aged children: it's often far better to state your expectations and "leave" instead of doing anything at all like an ask. Asking opens the window for defiance and makes it harder to cope with the defiance should it happen.
I don’t understand the point of the distinction. The EU is administered by representatives from each member state, either by votes from the public or appointed by the governments of each member state.
I'm not a developer, but am pretty technical. I've written some code, some scripts, etc. I use apple stuff specifically because I want the tradeoff of usability instead of pure openness. To me, computers are just like any tool - sure, I can build a bench grinder with off the shelf parts and make only the tradeoffs I want to make, or I can go to home depot and buy a complete engineered package for 1/10 the cost, and take they tradeoffs that delta wanted to make. same with any machine. If you want to buy the tools and build software yourself, you sure can. but it has always been mysterious why software should somehow obey totally different laws. its all just tools.
it takes time, but possible to do without huge funding
Hah, the best part is I legitimately had to deal with GCP actually being broken (resource refused to delete) that could only be fixed by Google internally (both portal and cli returned http 500). Imagine the joy I had not having "technical support" as a benefit.

You're giving a perfectly compelling reason for someone to use WeWork. Clearly there are hundreds of thousands of people for whom WeWork offers a service that benefits them. But there is no reason for me to believe that the few companies that cannot afford to pay a local expert a few thousand dollars to help them with a move is going to lead to WeWork fulfilling its $1T/year vision.

That is sadly a good example of why relying on trusted and accountable API clients should be considered critical for business.

When consuming APIs and not thinking about this, we are only building technical debt and security issues for the future.

Today's example is really bad since it targets a well-used meta API open-source library, but how many of those issues are already present on hundreds of other obscure open-source API clients?
