I think it does: It saves watching the video by providing a link to a tool that he mentions that many might not have heard of.

Yes, this was my point, but not articulated as well. I think it would be hard to expect compensation for the expenses when coming to the office, when the savings (for them) by working from home aren’t also passed onto us.

I wonder if workers, at some point, will be able to start demanding compensation for commute to work, when there it is perfectly possible to work from home? E.g. these tech companies that are starting to require employees to return to offic

Have to say I’m a bit surprised to see an article about The Cheesecake Factory on HN. I’ve been there a few times (though it’s been a while), and I never was impressed. It just seemed like an overpriced, overcrowded version of every other A

Yeah, I was expecting a hardware article, not a GitHub repo. Should probably add “emulator” the the title.

Would this suggest that having background noise on in your home (e.g. music, TV, podcast, etc.) is beneficial? Our home is generally pretty quiet. I occasionally listen to music, but we only have the TV on when we're actually watching

I’ve been using True flavor packs (2 per refrigerated gallon of water), alternating between lemon and lime. It’s just natural crystallized juice. Will likely never go back to just drinking unflavored water. But yeah, I’ve been drinking wate

For sure, a lot of the things you're describing boils down to the flexibility -- as a perk -- you get from working from home. But I believe it's the flexibility that make it hard for people to mentally disconnect -- it blurs the l

I believe there's still a mental separation you get from having separate physical spaces for work life and personal life. E.g. there are times that I do break the rule (very rarely) and get on my work computer (e.g. download work docum

I feel like the other 3 points above all help with this. That's not to say that I don't log off, and still think about something I'm working on, or wake up thinking about it (this depends on what I'm working on, how much

I’ve been working from home 100% for going on 10 years. I’ve had a mix of experiences re: disconnecting from work, and three things that I believe are key: 1. Work out of a separate office, ideally with a door. Don’t go in that room except

I’ll give you reliable, but how is emailing photos to yourself for 20 years easy? I mean I guess sending emails is relatively easy, but doing that for every photo you want to keep — for 20 years — sounds like a ton of manual effort.

Judging by the replies (and maybe downvotes), I believe the implied /s was missed. The article’s headline: > Watch Elon Musk Promise Self-Driving Cars "Next Year" Every Year Since 2014

I’ve completely stopped using Twitter for the same reason. I only occasionally (once every few weeks) click a Tweet that’s shared with me. I haven’t missed it.
