So far, Salesforce, Microsoft, and Amazon (at least) have told all workers to work from home. Microsoft says that the contractor staff will still be paid, even though they won't be needed at the facilities. It'll be interesting to see who follows.

How permanent do you think the remote work that tech companies are mandating due to coronavirus will be if they find productivity doesn’t go down? Then how much economic impact will that have in the long term when there’s fewer and fewer tech companies with large (and taxable) real estate holdings and workers start moving out of the priciest techhubs into cheaper suburbs and towns?

I have a real hard time believing this will be the case. Do you really think they can wring as much value out of employee's time if they are at home?

I work remote and absolutely believe it. There will be an initial dip as people get used to it but it would correct if done long enough. One of the hardest parts of wfh is maintaining work/life balance. Employers would eat that poo poo up once they realized it.

Yeah one of the guys on our staff who works remotely from Germany is a workaholic, and the other one in Florida puts some hours in as well. I guess it's harder to make a mental separation from work. The real productivity issue I believe in working remotely is not being able to just walk over to someone's desk and talk to them; you've got to Slack or email them. Overall that might be a gain though.

Working from home vs. Working in the office really depends on the job. Sure a lot of coders can probably do it, but microsoft /amazon arent all coders; they have huge hardware teams. For that kind of work, working with remote people loving sucks. They dont have a sense of how things are physically working out on prototypes--even if you video call them, it's just not the same as them getting their hands on poo poo. So you have to ship stuff to them, which is another day or two delay in feedback. Any kind of mechanical issue that has to be explained over video calls or emails makes a ton more work for me and the ground team compared to if the person was just in the office and could walk over and take a look. I think working remotely a couple times a week is fine since there is lower priority work that doesnt need a team discussion. But when things need to move fast, I think you really need folks to at least be in commuting distance of the office so they can be there on short notice when they need to be.

I'm on a hardware team what you're describing is def the case for us too. I'm going in for a few hours today so I can do some soldering and hardware bringup while the office is (hopefully) empty before going back to my previously scheduled WFH schedule.

i feel like the term hackathon has lost all meaning. Also arent they usually held for and by tech/computer people? would this one have people that know anything in any bioscience or is it just going to be Musky ideas people?

Hackathons have rarely ever actually been all tech people. If I had to guess I'd say more than half of all hackathons end with slideshows as the end products.

Also at this point if you're doing any somewhat serious scientific research, at bare minimum you're regularly working in R and have to know some Python for data modeling & presentation purposes.

The key to success is coming into it already having a team and an idea of what to execute. Teaming up with random people often leads to spending hours on the idea and it's a toss up to the skill level or personal compatibility. And yeah use what you know. E: or just going solo with a plan.

Yep, I've had a dedicated partner for the last 4 hackathons I've been to. We won all 4. We've split about 15k in prize money not including the trip to Vegas provided by the company hosting the event for being top 4 in the nation. We are actually really sad there hasn't been any hackathons in the past year or so around here. We'd do like 8 hours of work total for the entire weekend and walk out with like 2k in amazon gift cards or something like that. Easiest money ever considering the competition around here is awful.

I can verify, based on app reviews of "The Climate Trail", that the % of climate deniers on Android is larger than those on iOS. :-)
