I'm not sure I'd want my insurance company to give me a tracking device, but I wouldn't mind getting some feedback on my driving just for the sake of personal improvement and peace of mind.

Oh yeah, conference rooms are annoying (for multiple reasons). We don't really do that, everyone participates using their own device, and the tools then show who's speaking.

Also, some of the conferencing tools take it for granted. My work laptop has a camera, and it always activates by default when we start a call, and I have to manually turn the video feed off every time. Browser asks for permission to use

Does it really matter? I've had call conferences with people I've never seen, and it really hasn't been a problem.

If you're not clocking time, it doesn't matter. In Europe, tracking hours is common and in many cases mandatory. Unfortunately you can't clock in the moment you step out of your door for your regular commute. So it's n

I work to live, not live to work. Jobs change and move offices around, but my heart is with the places where my family and memories and good scenery is. I'm glad that remote work is an option today and I can choose to live where I wan

It's pretty much not possible. Their perception of delay is just not that sensitive. A transcontinental link might just be fast enough for 150ms, but stack on that all the buffering, codec delay, etc. and it's night impossible to

Everyone should have an office. If you go remote, that kinda becomes affordable.

Everyone always talks about videoconferencing and cameras but do you really need to see faces? At my company we just dropped the cameras. We can still share screen if needed but we didn't gain much of value from seeing faces and the o

That's far from enough IME. And a remote employee might still need some place other than their home sofa to work so that cost isn't automatically removed just by moving people out of the "one office."

How about treating commute time as hours on the job? It's not free time for you. So if an employer feels that it's very important to see your face in person, they should compensate for that privilege. And yes, commute should fa

Wrapping is not a good default, and actually it's not that common a scenario. When you want arithmetic to wrap, you should use some way to explicitly denote that you want it to wrap. (I think it could look like an operation with a mod

Uhh, most products can offer plenty enough defense against opportunistic blanket surveillance (but broadcasting your keystrokes is probably not going to help there). Protection against targeted attacks is a whole different story.
