Thanks! Yeah me too, I really would like more data on it TBH.

No problem! I appreciate criticisms and perspectives as long as they're constructive! Titles are really hard for me so feedback is good. Thanks for reading it!

> I was surprised at the quality of this article given the clickbait title.

Thanks!

Great reply btw. I think there really is something to remote work once everything starts working together. But it's definitely a more than one ingredient cake.

Now that I'm back off the top page, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone! I really enjoyed the dialog and hopefully we can all talk more next time!

In my humble experience, I've found that there are two paths that seem to be traversed and work. 1. It doesn't matter how many people work remotely but everyone is committed to participating and communicating through distributed means(chat, email, etc). That usually works pretty well. 2. Depending on the company culture, you'll need to have different amounts of the work force remote to get critical mass of adoption.

There was a good comment about how I used the terms "perk" and "dream" that was made. (https://medium.com/@martinb3/i-think-you-ve-come-up-with-som...) I agree with this. I could be wrong but I think a lot of people view it that way. I had hoped that the article would bring the tone around to make it sound less like a "dream" or a "perk" and more like a work environment decision. Either way excellent point!

Thanks for commenting! That's true, I do have a whiteboard within arms reach in my home office. Sometimes I'll take a picture of it and send it along when talking about a problem.

Sorry that was clickbate to see if we could all get going in a drawing frenzy...seems to have worked lol We have some artists on here.

haha, I'll take the blame, I probably should format it better.

Yeah sorry if my GOOD/BAD wasn't clear. But I was trying to convey that if that's the kind of response a company gives then you should take it as a warning. I've had companies say things like that in interviews when I asked them questions about remote communication and I think it means their management has not matured yet.

So just googling around I found this and it seems to work pretty good. https://awwapp.com/b/u21itcedr/

I had really good luck with the one built into google hangouts. I think it depends on what you're trying to convey. Sometimes just sharing mockups works really well too.

Yeah, I agree. I updated the title here, but I just need to pay more attention to titles+content in general I think. I'm trying to get back into blogging so I really like this feedback!

Also, I totally agree on the being the first employee is a tough one. I've done that 2 times now and it's not easy.

This works in El Capitan as well.

700 billion iSK is about $24,000.... http://isk.thealphacompany.net/?isk=700%2C000%2C000%2C000.00...

It's written in Titanium, should I open source the code and ask people design help?

Someone out there needs a job! If only there power could be used for good :-)

The two way communication is interesting.

I doubt Microsoft is targeting the consumer market. Most of these tablets will probably be bought by businesses which then force their employees to use them in their already fully integrated Microsoft ecosystem. So...I guess it depends on what Microsoft's priorities are.

I asked on superuser. Hopefully someone responds. http://superuser.com/questions/456349/how-to-alias-a-domain-...

I'm kind of curious how to do it with pfctl like he mentions in the doc?

Haha...didn't know this would turn out so well... http://happy.elevenbasetwo.com/?text=paul%20graham

You can change the "text" variable in the browser. This is an API that you can throw text at and try and detect the sentiment.

Feel free to fork it on github!

I agree, it's in the plans and on my trello board.

Thanks! Change made. https://github.com/daspecster/ziptastic/commit/de2cf83274b81...

I believe to a point it matters. In high density areas there might be a few distribution centers for mail. So the 9 digit zipcode is important. Also, the address lines are still very important. i.e. 1234 mystreet st. apt #2

Well, one nice thing is that you can fork it on github and setup your own API server. My main goal is to change how forms on the internet are filled out and to reduce the barrier of entry for people trying to give company/people money or information.

Totally agree! The jQuery plugin that I started working on will actually just populate those fields in the form so they can be changed after the fact.
