The debate around this usually turns pretty unproductive because many of the people who are pro-WFH are unwilling to entertain the idea that working from home is just a net negative for the company. Any pushes for WFH gets blamed on either

I agree that there's no good data to back this up, it seems really hard to collect. Unless you have a rock solid idea on how to measure productivity? The rest of your post is essentially "I hesitate to ask, but are you bad at your

What do you work on and what % of the day do you work on tasks that complex? Hours is an incredibly long time. I'm not against people blocking off specific time when dealing with an especially gnarly bug or planning out a major feature

"So you're saying that your ability to get work done is dependent on forcing time with your co-workers on your schedule instead of theirs? This would be rude even if in the office. I've had the complete opposite experience of

There are a lot of companies making remote work work for them, and for a lot of people's lifestyles it's a huge boon. My personal experience has been that WFH has lead to an absolute grinding halt in productivity that requires any

It's not abundantly clear to me. The author probably enjoyed those nine years a lot more than someone who adopts a mercenary attitude would have. Human beings love belonging places. What did this emotional investment cost him? Slightly

Reading the responses to some of these posts it feels like the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction in the "the company is not your family" discussion. Yes, if you expect corporate America to always treat you fairly y

The point is that when people say calories IN they normally refer to what you put in your mouth, not how much your body absorbs.

You said: > I pay about half in rent what my neighbors do. I assumed that most of your $4,000 a month was going towards rent, which would mean your neighbors are paying close to $8,000 a month. That's a very large number so I asked

For most people if they're paying $4000 a month the majority of that is going towards rent. Utilities, insurance (for a renter), ISP will rarely be over $500 a month, but maybe one of these things is really expensive in your location.

Is the actual view rendering done in webviews? I've struggled with that because the compatibility between different Android webviews can be very janky, and lead to some really obscure bugs, plus on many phones it just feels "off&q

Yes, I'm asking within the demographic of say 20-50 how are you coming to the conclusion that the risk is not worth it?

What makes you think that? Serious events for regular covid was heavily skewed towards the elderly.

I'm looking at your link but I can't find anything about serious events controlled for age group (to make it a fair comparison to your covid hostpitalisation number). Is the data in there somewhere?

What constitutes a 'serious adverse event' in this data? Do you mind linking the source? Having a 1 in 3000 chance of getting so sick you need to be hospitalized seems quite bad.

My question wasn't about public policy or mandates, I'm asking what data an individual is looking at to come to the conclusion that not getting vaccinated is the right choice.
