Before I started working remotely there were 5-10 people who biked to work daily

I wonder if the industrialization of food and agriculture and the increase in processed foods is part of the reason

While this maybe true, many of the people I know that live in rural areas locally have jobs involving manual labor rather than sitting on their ass in an office all day (like myself). I'd be curious to learn how commuting and travellin

I understand, some people on the spectrum or suffering from other disorders can certainly be very difficult to deal with and I can see how this would provide a challenge to management. I just dislike generalizations about people with poor s

That's an issue with yourself, whether it be work ethic, motivation, or otherwise, not an issue with remote work

>Conference calls, slack and email are no substitute for the face-to-face conversations that can resolve blocking issues in a few seconds versus a few hours. I haven't found this to be the case

Wow, there are a ton of assumptions in this argument, and you seem to be projecting a lot of your personal beliefs and feeling as well. I don't have children, but my girlfriend and pets have never bothered me or been a distraction near

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 mem

I'd still rather work remotely. Commuting is one of the majors factors that makes me prefer to work from home

Those sound like issues with your IT department, employer, and/or video conference provider rather than issues with working from home. Any company with remote employees should require a consistent, stable solution

Why are you assuming that having poor social skills creates added work for management? I am on the spectrum, have trouble with social skills, and I certainly don't take "a disproportionate share of a manager's time" as a

Perhaps for a "regular" user, but for me it's absolutely worth it. I imagine the ycombinator crowd isn't who this article is targeting, and likely isn't applicable for many here

This is a huge oversimplification, and it would be trivial to "boost the auction sale price up," just have other people bid as well

Also interesting how many people want a "discussion" as long as it falls exactly in line with their opinion and if not they'll downvote all of your comments without actually replying or making any points. Ycombinator is becom

The truth hurts, censorship is almost entirely based on anger, fear, ignorance, and misunderstanding. Your comment is so full of fallacies it isn't even worth a reply. I've actually provided sources, and discussion points. You hav

It's both incredible and frightening how many pro-authoritarians there are on this site

by okmokmz 7y ago
Absolutely not. It's a major, and valid concern against censorship and is shared by many academics. Here is an article from a professor at Harvard Law >She insists, however, that the cure of censorship is worse than the disease of h

It's sad that there are genuinely people that have this kind of reaction to an article about a reduction in coal plants. Taking care of the environment isn't some weird competition, what would anyone be gloating about and to whom.

I was going to respond, but there is no point arguing with trolls posting pro-authoritarian opinions from a fake account because they're too scared to have their thoughts tied to their identity in any way

The first two points are absolutely not "woefully wrong". Many laws are essentially written and controlled by corporations via lobbyists, and most politicians are incredibly uninformed/misinformed about tech

Your "argument" is incredibly fallacious, and you're clearly not actually trying to have a discussion. Have fun posting angry, poorly informed comments on the internet
