It's London. Colleagues do have slightly above average salary but nothing extraordinary.

The issue is that data is the opposite or wfh and in the office are on par in terms of productivity. Of course they'll use every trick in the book to get people into the office - even economy cooling and will try to work on your feelin

Last month two colleagues (less than 30yr old) bought their own houses. There are young people in the UK who can afford it. They saved for years...

For many people battery tech is good enough. What's not good enough in some areas are charging points (UK).

You are right. GS are now twice as expensive as in 2018!

In this price range my recommendation would be Grand Seiko. There are microscope photos of GS and Rolex online if you search for it. You will never look at Rolex the same way ;)

Somehow related. I asked the question about DIY books[0] awhile ago. The recommendation was to go to the library and just get some DIY books. I did just that and it helped. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34657879

I see a huge shift in narrative even in comments around the Internet about return to office. Just saying. I am a manager and manage a team of six people. One of them is in a completely different country. I trust all people in my team to do

Maybe there's a middle ground somewhere where performance doesn't have to be 100% for all work.

Really interesting. Is it because people sell the property and get a new mortgage for a new place or they outright pay it off after 11 years?

Sorry but this is just not true. You have to train your baby/toddler to sleep during the day as well. If two parents are both home and working from home it works pretty well. You save 5 hours of commute time and 2 hours for lunch. That

I have to agree with a message you're replying to. It does work for some people, especially if both parents are present/work from home. You actually save 5hrs of commute time and have an hour for lunch. If you split it between two

This is a non-issue if proper processes are in place. You mentioning issues with 'people are always out for various holidays' is a huge red flag. This is where strict processes and respect for other's time comes into place. I

We always communicate and somehow end up in the office together. There's always a way. Many weeks someone says 'I'll be in the office on this day. Anyone else coming in?' And then a few people say yep, let's do it.

Would be funny if productivity 'plunged' due to return to office.

Sorry but yes, you are behind times. CMOS is all the rage in recent years. Google ZWO, Altair cameras, etc. Sony sensors mostly.

When I was an associate/junior I longed for remote work but seniors tried to keep me in the office as much as they could. Now that I am a senior I advocate for remote work to enable associates/juniors that want to work from home t

I guess if your iPhone is not signed in in 'work or school account' then a company can't remote-wipe your phone?

I am finding it hard understanding how this can be done if you have work email and Slack apps installed on your phone.

How does adding Slack and Outlook for example makes a company own your phone?

Counterpoint: The only thing children learn from seeing faces is how to fake a smile. By wearing masks they can observe the whole body which is much harder to control. What I said is not based on science as far as I know.

I've been hearing this about US, EU, China and a few other places from different people depending which part I was visiting in the world since I know about myself.

Kids are different. I didn't have any of the above issues. Once kids get older it's even easier.

Exactly. Hertfordshire is beautiful and Thameslink is amazing, comfortable and usually reliable. 45 min to the City when needed and easy access to nature.

I don't want to be rude but a little reality check would be beneficial for you. I recommend reading a little bit about history and how people actually lived in non-modern societies. It was not all rosy. In life you'll always have
