I'm not the author but our company is remote and our comp is handled employee by employee. There isn't a "we offer 60% of market" it's a negotiation between me and the person I'm recruiting. So for example a Computer Vision engineer living in SF and one living in Edmonton with the same skills and background would get the same pay.

Note that the OP is referring to a "60th percentile" rule, not "60%" rule. Results in a much different number within a given market. I was confused initially, as "60% of market rate" salary would be very much on the exploitive side of things :)
Do you share your range before asking about requirements? If not, would you say people in lower cost of living areas ask for less on average? Do you feel you as an employer have an obligation to provide information on market rates given that you hire remotely?
