My opinion is that the OP shouldn’t even half-ass it. Ignore anybody who has complaints about privacy and 0-ass it. People just love complaining and telling other people The Right Way To Do Things.

Just replace the entire contents of the privacy policy with the word “None.” You’ll never ever please the privacy commenters on HN who are armchair security enthusiasts. They’re never going to use your product and they’re never going to sto

The NBER study you linked seems to say that WFH saves workers 2 hours per week not that it increases their at-work productivity. It goes on to say that they claim to work more but it doesn’t say they actually get more done as a result.

Believe it or not, that’s not at all what I’m saying. Let’s say Person A wants to be in the office with other people also in that office. Then Person B wants to work in their home and doesn’t care where other people work. If Person B gets t

No, my point was that people who like remote work like to believe that as long as they are working where they want to work (their homes) then everyone else is happy as well if they can work where they want to work. They miss the point that

I mean you’re the one who brought them up to bolster your argument in favor of remote work. Do you think it speaks to good fundamentals in Gitlabs business? Or is it mostly irrelevant and tells us nothing useful?

I think I’ll agree that some licensed fields (medicine, engineering) are more likely than not going to be allowed to do things the “Right Way.” But at the same time I’d bet if you asked people in those professions they’d likely say, “Our bo
