Spaniards have long been leaving poorer rural areas for better opportunities in richer cities. Politicians in rural areas lament this.<\/a> But it is not obvious that pricey infrastructure will do much to curb it. Mr J\u00e1come notes that Zamora, until recently the high-speed trains\u2019 last stop en route to Galicia, has gained weekend tourists but continued to lose population since their arrival in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respected cryptographer<\/a> Moxie Marlinspike has written up some thoughts on Ethereum and the modern \u2018crypto\u2019 ecosystem<\/a>. Although I was involved in Bitcoin right at the beginning, I\u2019ve never been involved in Ethereum or Web3, don\u2019t currently own any cryptocurrencies and I broadly agree with a lot of what he says. Nonetheless I disagree on a few critical points. In this essay I\u2019ll summarize parts of Moxie\u2019s argument, lay out a couple of disagreements and then provide some suggestions for a path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible work arrangements<\/a> have become non-negotiable for job-seekers and employees alike \u2014 so much so that people now value such flexibility as much as a 10% pay raise, according to new research<\/a> from the WFH Research Project. But not all companies are on the same page as their employees when it comes to remote and hybrid work. Nicholas Bloom, an economics professor at Stanford University, co-founded the research team in May 2020 alongside Jose Maria Barrero, an assistant professor at Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico Aut\u00f3nomo de M\u00e9xico (ITAM) in Mexico City, and economist Steven J. Davis. Their latest research, shared on Jan. 3, collected responses from more than 17,000 employees in the United States about their attitudes toward working from home versus returning to the office. About 50% of respondents who have worked from home during the coronavirus pandemic said they would prefer a hybrid schedule once the virus is under control. Although large shares of people prefer a remote or hybrid work arrangement, Bloom, who has studied remote work for nearly 20 years, tells CNBC Make It<\/a> that he expects there to be \u201chuge battles\u201d between employees and managers over remote work in the coming months. <\/p>\n\n\n
