Blockchains are the future, aka merkel trees are the future, aka git is the future. Put the world in source control. Distributed, trustless, decentralised source control.

this makes a lot of sense

True, but there are also a lot of benefits to working remote.

I work full-time remote. Previously I worked full-time onsite.

The onsite:remote benefits directly matches up to the work:life ratio. I get benefits to my life that onsiters don't get, and vice versa. It's a personal choice.

Or just outlaw smoking and be done with it. /s

If only.

Thanks for the correction. You know, I was once taught, quite poorly, that the apostrophe is used for possession, and when I'm not mindful about it, my brain makes this jump that when referring to something that "belongs" to whatever "it" refers to, that it therefore possesses this thing and therefore should have an apostrophe.

If I think about writing, I write its, but when I'm thinking what I want to write and my fingers just type it, it is like a layer of execution intercepts that thought and correct it.

I guess that's just the brain and one of its features, it's nuts.

Getting back to the subject, this is one of the biggest issues, idiots who hold our data and yet don't add salts to their encryption because salt is bad for you.

Get rid of the whole array of benefits entirely, and give people a universal income that is enough to live on. Now, you can work if you want more money, or you can do something with your life that matters.

Question is, how many people would just sit on their arses watching JK?

See Kellogg's Stretford cereal factory in the BBC Documentary Inside the Factory (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07mddvr), four people plus a fleet of roughly 30-50 robotic fork lift trucks manage all the product egress.

Personally, I welcome this, but it has to go hand in hand with some sort of universal income. We need to give everyone the chance to pick the job they /want/ to do, rather than the job they feel, economically, they have to do.

Researcher with masters degree on 21k/year? You could easily get double that from a programming job with a few years of experience if you have the aptitude.

I'd much rather receive a universal income, while working on things that I feel make a difference, rather than what I have to do to feed my family.

> one of those jobs which will be moved back to the EU now

Can you cite any examples of a job that moved /from/ the EU to the UK, and which will now /move back/?

Why shouldn't they be told?

This is why every site should have it's own unique, strong password.

My thought exactly. How long could I use this for, before it was ripped away from me? How much would I invest into this, only to get told I have two months to migrate?

Sorry Google, your search is great, your email services easy to use, but everything from your Apps for business panel through to your plethora of half-baked products are messy and inaccessible.

Well, I don't know what happened to me, but I became a father in July, and this is my GitHub: http://i.imgur.com/EZSE03y.png

I still spend a lot of time with my child, and have a great balance. Anything is possible, if you're smart enough to arrange things properly.

Not super human, but I do spend about 8 hours working, and about 6 hours doing non-work, but I intersperse it with taking breaks to play with my kid or to sit and eat breakfast.

You will find it hard in the beginning, when you're not getting much sleep, but it does get easier, and I imagine it's just going to get easier.

I had people tell me my life would be hell. They were wrong. Just because they mismanaged it and lost their passion, doesn't mean you have to.

Good luck!
