Seems like an unpopular opinion, but this is my experience as well. Went from sleeping from 4-10AM to 11PM-5AM over the course of 3 years, without changing time zones. I swore I was a night-owl my whole life, but I definitely fall into the category of early-risers now. Overall happy with the switch; I love having those quiet morning hours to prepare for the rest of my day.
For me, it was about establishing new habits, setting up an environment conducive to sleeping by midnight, and having some external pressures like a work schedule, etc. I've heard this validated by external testimony as well.
Can't say there are no biological factors at play that impact individual inclinations, but it's a bit hard to believe that we're hard-wired for one over the other.
your tone is condescending but i'll bite: cursory search will provide plenty of evidence for the claim that telecommuting is on the rise; very little evidence to the contrary.
I think there's a middle ground in there somewhere. Many people experience "pain" and "lack" in other areas of their lives, and are looking to travel/vacation as an escape from that. Tying happiness and joy to "less" is just as arbitrary as tying it to "more". It's all about where you start.
There is quite a lot of middle ground between working from home and a four hour daily commute. I was at a similar crossroads a few years back, but my total commute was closer to 50 minutes and the 60% bump in pay was well worth it for me. At the end of the day, it's a personal decision that is highly dependent on circumstances and preferences.
What I will say is that there are certainly advantages to being in a shared space with collaborators for a scheduled bracket of time on a regular basis. I haven't yet found a remote-working setup that can properly mimic these advantages. Certainly some make a praiseworthy attempt -- but some of my team's most productive days have been kicked off with a brief hallway conversation that resulted in alignment/commitment that would have taken far longer if attempted remotely.
I agree with that completely. I'm actually a team of one, no one else does my work. So there isn't any random coffee chat, or overhearing someone talking of a problem that i can help with.
There are two big negatives i find from working from home, by the end of Friday I NEED socialising which can be at odds with my partners desire to chill inside after her week 'outside'. Secondly i don't get involved in side projects not directly associated with my actual role, which i do miss.
An incredibly arrogant response to what could potentially be an enormous opportunity for tens of thousands of families. What's wrong with a warehouse job if it gets somebody out of unemployment?
I visit their warehouse once. It is not a good job, to be put directly, everyone looks like they would jump out immediately if given a choice, which should be no surprise, since the warehouse is designed in a way to maximize automation, the stuff left for human to do is still pretty robotic.
My statement is easy to understand, a majority of claimed 100,000 jobs might be that desirable, even though they are jobs indeed. As other comments put, those jobs help little in the person future career, and is not something you can do for a long time either.
Yes by all means, though the phrase "hold him to it" sounds odd to my ears. You're talking about giving us what we asked for, which I appreciate, especially since you don't agree with the idea, which I respect.
I also appreciate your including the qualifier 'this week', because that's a critical detail and one thing I learned yesterday is that there's a risk of it getting lost in the shuffle. We don't want this to go beyond a week, least of all if it was a bad idea in the first place.
From a Wefunder post[1] about RC: "However, with these protections, in the very worst case scenario, a venture capitalist firm ideologically opposed to a “messy cap table” (even though there are no voting rights) can simply repurchase the crowdfunded securities during the deal."
What does that last bit mean, regarding "repurchase the crowdfunded securities"? Do smaller investors run the risk of losing their shares entirely during a later-stage deal with a VC that wants to clean up the cap table?

I really enjoyed Psycho-Pass. A smart an entertaining series. Other than the obvious picks (cowboy beboy et al), any other recommendations for "mature" anime?
I liked Terra e (2007, not the 1980 film which isn't very good). It bears some similarities to Psycho-Pass, although it probably doesn't meet the "mature" marker with its super powers.
I struggle to recommend more because mature anime is almost nonexistent these days. I can count on one hand the number of shows that might fit the bill in the past 5 years (Aoi Bungaku, Jormungand, Attack on Titan and Night Raid perhaps, and they're not all good).
If you just want something entertaining without the same old cliches in most anime, then Gintama will have you in stitches.
...not sure you understand how market cap is calculated. The float (# of shares available to the public) can vary, but the total # of shares, in the absence of a split/new issue/retire, will remain static.
