While it's not a million a worker, I think providing and even promoting remote working can be beneficial overall. I work remotely and it saves money for both me and my company. There's also less stress associated with commuting. Remote work is not for everyone (nor possible for all job functions), but companies and employees should give it more consideration. https://remote.co/10-stats-about-remote-work/
Thanks for the link. However it is quite old, and Telegram was responding to the discussions and comments, demonstrating at least some respect for the feedback and perhaps doing something about it. Is there a more recent audit? I came across this - https://www.eff.org/secure-messaging-scorecard - a while back but it doesn't seem very thorough.
"Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products" by Nir Eyal - I'm reading it myself. I think it's really useful for those doing product development/management and building user engagement.
This is actually an amazing idea on so many levels. Everyone wins in this model: improved quality of life for the elderly, better housing for young people than they could afford on their own, improved density for city planners, increased social cohesion.
Unbelievable, I had exactly the same idea a few months ago. To live in a retirement home for a year as a young person, and spend time getting to know the residents, while also going to work at a regular job. I thought it could also make an awesome story for a book or a documentary.
Yes, but that has a decidedly Scandinavian twist of putting young people together with wise village elders. It has a kind of sheen of hopefulness that we just don't see in the States (because -- as clearly demonstrated with this dorm idea -- apparently profit here is worth cramming adults into Soviet-style people storage with value-add juice bars).
