If it's remote, how do you measure that eight hours? In addition, how many of that eight hours do you believe a competent developer focuses for?

See my other answer - I'm using "eight hours" as short-hand for "a reasonable amount of work to get the task done". I accept that wasn't clear. (We usually bill by the day so I often think in 8 hour slots!)
