Five Years of Remote Work
Daniel | NoDesk
This past July, NoDesk turned five.
As part of this milestone, I want to reflect on how and why NoDesk came to be, what’s changed over the years, and talk about what’s next as we all look towards the future of work.
The Rise of Remote Work Can Be Unexpectedly Liberating
Jessica Powell | The New York Times
With our offices gone, our days have now opened up. Why not make that doctor’s appointment for 4 p.m.? Why not pick the kids up at day care rather than find a babysitter? Why not try something entirely new, like going for a walk in the middle of the day, or participating in social activism or a protest during typical work hours, as millions of Americans have done this summer?
How to make video calls almost as good as face-to-face
Ben Kuhn
I started wondering how much nicer video calls would feel if I fixed these problems. So I spent way too much time fiddling with gear and software. This post summarizes what I’ve learned.
Collectively, these recommendations have had a pretty big impact: when talking one-on-one to friends with equally good setups, I’ve been able to go 4+ hours without feeling fatigued.
How to get promoted
Defmarco | Slava Akhmechet
Almost everyone who does great work toils in relative obscurity. Performance reviews are social fiction. How do people really advance through the corporate hierarchy?
Will new travel technology invade your privacy?
Johanna Read | National Geographic
The tech revolution in the travel world, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is at once marvelous and invasive of your privacy. Apps, facial recognition, and smart products can make air transit and border crossings more convenient. Their touch-free and skip-the-line elements may help keep you safer from illness-causing viruses.
An airline is selling fully stocked bar carts to scrape by during the pandemic
Tom Maxwell | Input
Missing the jet-set lifestyle? Qantas might be able to help. The Australian airline is so hard up for cash that it’s resorted to peddling items off its planes to get through the pandemic. Its latest scheme is ripping bar carts from planes and selling them online loaded with goodies.
