As a remote worker who left a high cost of living city (NYC) myself, I'm all in favor of promoting remote work, but I don't see the value add in me adding my email there. What exactly do I get? Job listings? The site doesn't really make it clear. I guess every startup these days starts off with a fancy landing page who's goal is to get you to input your email, which they then use to gauge interest and decide whether…

Wow, downvoted for providing my honest feedback? Looks like HN is really becoming like Reddit, why even bother spending time writing detailed comments anymore.

Are sweeping generalizations of almost 11 million people the kind of comment we want to encourage on HN?

Yeah we should keep it a secret how racist America is.

Could you please link to some data or at least share you personal experience of how racist America is today?

My dad's side of the family is in Georgia. You couldn't pay me $300k to deal with the racism in rural Georgia. Yes not all people out there are bad, but there's enough I'd rather line elsewhere.

It's called virtue signaling. His group is the best and everyone else is despicable.

Personal? I guess, I'm Central American, and just because of how I look I get followed at the mall and every 2 minutes I get asked "is everything okay sir?" Obviously they think I'm there to steal something.

In Denver I went to a restaurant I overheard "why do I have to serve that spic". So okay no racism in America right? You idiot.

Judging by your demeanor here, i guess that might be the problem why people are not comfortable around you.

I see that you are not a stranger to racism your self. Calling a billion people lazy because because of their skin color is really classy.

I think its crystal clear. They are making remote work easy for employees and employers, which enables you to work from cities other than coastal ones. Is that really such a hard thing to understand? I Think most people connect the dots. It doesn't need a mini blog post to explain.

Sure. But what's not clear is how, especially you read further about "Main Street offices" and "MainStreet member." It's not clear if they're just remote-focused recruiting agency or something else.

I'll agree with you there. They are incredibly opaque about what, where, how much, etc.

I came away thinking ... hmmm I'm interested in remote work. I'm really interested in convincing my current employer to use a program like this.

BUT, I'm not going to take the trouble to email people because I'm an engineer, and I'd prefer to just send a link to HR.

But this link has no information. So meh.

Likely intentional because Steve Jobs grew up in a similar home. https://www.eichlernetwork.com/article/jobs-likeler-no-eichl...

The link's headline that you posted says "For the record: Steve Jobs wasn’t raised in an Eichler—but partner Steve Wozniak was."

The article is entirely about Steve Jobs growing up in a home very similar to, but not technically, an Eichler.
