I been WFH for about a year and been road tripping, traveling throughout the country. No more wastign time commuting 1 hour!

Not all jobs are innovators though. Most are just admin and bpo. That means remote is still the way forward.

Wfh is so much better, I don't have to waste time waiting for people at coffee machines to move out off the way or waiting for someone to come back from a 'meeting'

KZfaq getting real comfortable with non skipabble ads.

maybe what we need is slower innovation and invention and a slower pace

Moreti’s argument about following an inventor over their career, comparing their productivity in Silicon Valley and elsewhere needs more clarification. Surely there other factors that can influence productivity besides proximity?

The world after the pandemic will be so different. Many big companies have already made numerous positions permanently 'work from home.'

Being able to get stoned at work and make 200k per year. Every coder’s dream.

Can you please not focus just on productivity and focus on overall worker happiness?

He's always trying so hard to look like a human

People might just innovate even more than before when they have more money to explore their ideas because they aren’t dumping most of their income into landlord’s pockets. Give it a year or two. People are still adjusting.

More like more people means more competition so you have to innovate and stand out or get replaced

Office space owners everywhere crying

I am really curios if Prof. Moretti, correlated Quality of Living and Happiness with Productivity and Patents.

Whatever you do, don't look into the eyes. You will never be the same again.

God forbid if the productivity KPIs fall by a point during a pandemic.

1:45 I don't think it's fair to assume that workers need to be in close physical proximity to have epiphanies. This may I have been true in the past but with digital teams, people can have ideas at home (or anywhere else) and communicate them with their team in a matter of seconds

Staying with family and living happily will surely give more productivity than commuting every day to the office.

These companies should pay us more for saving them money by using our internet, our electricity, our real estate, our computers (including broken equipment), our water, and our food

All the engineers I know and work with prefer to work (and are more productive) at home.

I feel like remote work/interactions doesn’t have the depth of in person ones. When you are interacting in person you both are surround by a whole world/environment but on remote you are both in your own bubbles. Also to do remote interactions requires a machine in front of you constantly if this is cut off then the interactions dies but in person you can remain with the person fir longer periods if of time.

My first job out of college during this pandemic is a full-remote job and I guarantee that would not have been offered if this pandemic never happened

I started circlepluspay.com remote and grew it globally you don’t need offices you need money!!!!! You need sales!!!! Offices stifle innovation

I’ve been working from home since March and have gone into the office about 10 times since then. It’s nice to not have a commute, but it’s hard to really leave that work at the office when the office is right next to where I watch tv and play Xbox.

most innovations, inventions are just various forms of 'add-ons' spreading out reduces your chances to find or come across something/ideas to add on to.

As rate of innovation goes down, quality goes up as different environments inspire the kind of rare uniquely diverse ideas incestuous close proximity environments can't.

3:15 Not necessarily. I recently brainstormed and developed a blockchain platform with a colleague I bumped into on Slack.

3:05 that's humu, not hulu

I am all for work from home. Would wake up 30mins before work

"Geographic profile maps which are basically just population maps."

Remote work will force people to make real friends rather than just 'work friends'.

After some years we're like humans shown in Wall-E animation movie

Working from home is an equity movement now.

Vast majority of innovation happens gradually every day. Often doesn’t result in a patent. Remote working gives better focus on your task in hand. Better cheaper living give workers the peace of mind and better health. Go remote!!

Remote working is good, especially for those who live in busy stressful cities with traffic, etc but same days of the week should definitely be assigned for physical so as not too loose the human touch.

WE LIKE THE STOCK, HOLD THE LINE

If work becomes entirely remote, why do we assume it’s going to stay in the U.S.? In the long run, whatever can be done remotely will be done where it’s cheapest. It’ll be a boon for India, but a lot of the Americans celebrating now will be out of luck.

The largest challenge with remote working that I've experienced are the time-zone differences. It is PAINFUL trying to schedule meetings with people using PST living in the Dominican Republic where we are an hour ahead of EST right now due to daylight savings time

The “research” which shows when people leave the innovation reducing does not account for the innovation that could happen when working from home becomes the norm. Working together has had a good few centuries to be optimised for innovation Working from how might also require the same. But it’s also good in many other areas like environmental impact and such. So to conclude, work from home is much better than travelling 2 hours a day to work in offices

3:17: These moments already happen online. These kids use virtual lives.

All this water break talk already occurs in forums and image boards

The product are the people. The more you let this guy in your life, the more money he makes off of you.

I think there's must be a masterplan in concordation with the big tech companies. I mean, they have lot of users data, they can even predict a couple of things or "incline" a part of their big population (or consumers of their platform) to change mind or take a position in some topic they may consider relevant. As far as I concerned, they are looking to be a bigger part in the life of a common people. Want to build automatic stores, no money (paper) circulation, everything just virtual because in that way they will control almost everything. So, big tech companies have a plan to become stronger and powerful going forward to an extra step or level in our lives. The more we stay at home and make everything virtual, the more power they have. It's all about power

Offices are for the ego’s of managers. Innovation will happen, anyways. We’ve already seen that over the past year.

Cant hear what the video says, my music’s so loud

Great content! Intresting

The power is shifting towards the talent and away from the corporation and WOW they don’t like it. Talent wants to live in a more chill, cheap place to have a better quality of life and not be constantly stressed by traffic and bills. I’m far more productive without the distractions of people in my space constantly and the time lost to commuting. We have the tech to communicate with anyone we collaborate with in seconds, share information more widely rather than having to be in the room where a convo happened. If the tech industry can’t adapt, how innovation is it, really?

Yeah but sorry I would doubt the methodology of that paper, how it was described in this video. A correlation is not a causal link. So many factors to consider here.

I feel like Silicon Valley is the home of hippy science and con artists. This is more superficial than an Apple presentation.

I like how his masks are hung on the wall like bras. 2:53.

Thumbs up = Zuckerberg is a robot. Reply = he’s a lizard

Does shitposting on Reddit and KZfaq all day mean I work in the tech industry?

These companies have seen innovation when working in office, now they need to give time for remote work. They cannot expect innovation to happen every 6 months.

I feel like some of these "reports" were funded by commercial real estate investors ....

Just think about all the hours and money in transportation you can save... The environment will thank you. Oil companies, car makers and office tenants... Not so much. But we will have much cleaner air and far more peaceful cities and no overcrowded roads. A dream come true.

The Robot is speaking again !!

What is the tech industry if it cannot come up with tech solutions to enable people to connect remotely and innovate?

Introverts rise up!!!

Beware most of the comments below make no sense

once you boss figures out you can work remotely, you will be replaced by an offshore worker working remotely. I know.

Honestly I feel like the ones wanting workers to be in the office are the same folks that create toxic work environments. Either they’re a micromanager, work bully’s that have to feel sense of importance in the office or that employee who needs interaction that can only get it at work because they can’t anywhere else........

Leave it to these guys to try to solve and “automate” a random process that takes place on its own organically...🙄🙄🙄

can't understand the sound.

Wouldn’t it follow that if these inventors leave inventive spaces perhaps their priorities have changed

All this talk about work from home becoming a permanent thing is absolute bs. If anything it makes more sense to have a hybrid model where employees work from home 2 or 3 days and the rest of the days they go to the office. It's impossible to build good relationships with people working remotely. Especially if you are new to the company. Its important to be interacting with people at work in person.

There is new research that shows that people with a brain are more likely to innovate. The rest is just a matter of distance (physical and emotional).

Advantages: hire innovators, regardless of geography or culture. Disadvantages: limit innovation and your own company culture

Hippy, dippy BS. Creativity can and does occur everywhere, all the time, all throughout history. You don't need to live in an overpriced city and be in a sterile office together.

Nice video.

I don’t know anything about Remote Working. Corruption!

Mark Alien Zuckerberg.

Hard pass... I rather work from home. You don't allow me to work at home, I'm good.

I personally like wfh, I feel more comfortable in my own and work better. My team has daily meetings and We make a good effort to “shoot the breeze” whereas there were many days where I’d (commute 45 min one way) go into the office and not talk to a single soul :/

"Figures don't lie, but liars do figure". You can make any data to tell a story you want to tell.

This field is disgusting. Corporate manufacturing over the human experience,overstepping the boundaries of an employer over it’s workers. Can the work provided not be enough?

Yeah it's alright

Who are these "experts" kidding? Everyone know the greatest venue for skepticism . . . criticism . . . arguments . . . bouncing ideas . . . expressing opinions . . . and generating, new and creative ideas, innovation and solutions is . . . The *KZfaq comment sections!!!* The real problem is that the powers-that-be never read or listen to them. Or if they do, they will claim that _they_ had thought of it, and that it's "their" idea. Indeed the only real obstacle to innovation are these KZfaq censors, blocks and demonetization.

Nudge engine? SMH

We need to regulate these big tech companies to not have so much power over our news and speech

Ok

Is Google News really "innovation"? Like he said it's "an aggregator of news" - I highly doubt that wasn't going to inevitably be created. I think that example is cherry-picked because there probably isn't really that many serendipitous water-cooler conversations. Let's be real for a moment: our days are hammered by more useless than productive meetings, wasted time commuting to and from an office in a city that's too expensive to live in, underpaid while mega-corps earn even higher than previous quarter's profits. Perhaps actually advocating for better work-life balance where folks can take the time to have a conversation without scarfing down their lunches just before they jump on the 5th Zoom call of the morning hours so that they can stay away for their afternoon conversations and early evening "work time".

Can the host be a little quieter

They are ruining the work experience.

He's an E.T

I love San Fran

WFH is great a few days a week but we need to socialize in person

Selling privacy data and build new companies?

Read comedy of coffin on kindle unlimited

did tech companies make coronavirus for increasing online business?

LAN parties.

Wow this is just sad.

so people who i expect to be shut ins and tech weebs are sucking at being shut ins and tech weebs got it

They are all buying Ideanomics Stock (IDEX) You guys are welcome! Go make money!!!

What the heck, anybody else get annoyed by 3 typos in one graphic? :45

I feel like I've done more work working from home then at work.

video sponsored by real estate companies who are losing rent. They have lot of money and wall street journal is best place to spread false propoganda of wfh. Great inventions always came when someone was doing solo since it gives him to think out of the box.

Number 1 let's goooooooo

This is such a job. Lol

He gave the examole of Google News which was about 20 years ago. Idk man! If your best example is almost 20 years old, then you are probably making stuff up.
