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.
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.
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?
out of curiosity, since you seem to be a veteran to HN – what makes this a "political story"?
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?
...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.
My family has never had ANY leaflets in our parcels, and we've been ordering off amazon for years now.
And what good are producers without consumers?
