I prefer office-based work but it's not the top thing on my list of priorities. I've found that a really high number of companies that otherwise have what I'm looking for are remote, so I've had to compromise.


> It's different from people who prefer WFH because they don't care if the other guys also work remote or not.

But lots of remote-evangelists will say things like "If anybody is joining a meeting remotely, everybody needs to call in from their own separate computers". I might able to come in to the office but it still affects my experience.


People can join a meeting from their own computer in the office. They can still get your social time around the water cooler/break room/foosball table. But I see no reason that I should have to be miserable and come in to the office just because they want to see my face in person and yak at me when I'm trying to work.

I see no reason why I'm required to be miserable to enhance their "experience".


I worked at a "campus" where we all called in anyway. It wasn't that bad. Arguably better because if the meeting starts to suck you can read HN or play solitaire.


> I don’t want to force anyone to do anything. I want to find a team that has the same primary work mode that I do: in-person collaboration.

I think of this the way I think of full-time pair programming: nobody should be forced to do it, but it's perfectly fine to form a team where it's a key part of the culture, as long as it's made abundantly clear to new hires before they join that it will be expected of them.


Alice Dreger seems to be the go-to support/advice person for people in this situation--don't act entitled to her time but if you reach out respectfully she has helped a lot of people in this situation.


Do you have a source? Everything I've read gave me the impression that we only have strong evidence that outdoor time is a factor, and the light exposure explanation is just a hypothesis.


ADD is an obsolete diagnosis; it's all ADHD now, with inattentive, hyperactive, and combined subtypes. (I think this is dumb--why have the H in the name if not everybody with the condition is hyperactive?--but that's what the DSM says.)


blog+microblog on your domain, and that automatically forwards the content to social platforms

Micro.blog does this!


Not really, it does not provide a blog feature, only a bridge.


It absolutely does provide a personal blog, you just have to pay $5/month.


I missed that, their offer tamk about wordpress.


Maybe they mean that since there are many different feed readers a person could use, a blog can't have a "Click here to subscribe via RSS" link? Most feed readers will have a bookmarklet for 1-click subscribing, but the blog owner doesn't have the ability to make a prominent "call to action"-style button.


Sure they can, well they can have a link that brings up the feed anyway. What the browser does with it is a different story, and that depends on whether RSS preview extensions are installed. Copying and pasting that URL wherever it needs to go isn't all that complicated.



Hmm, that's disappointing.


So the edit would be: In the US, if you devote the space entirely to work as an employee, you pay for it.



This article cherry-picks a few items and discussed how EWG interprets the ingredient safety. It does not follow that all of EWG is misinformation; dismissing the useful database of ingredients, animal testing statuses, and other data is itself misinformation.



Again, disagreeing with their risk assessment is one thing, but pretending the database itself is misinformation is dishonest.
