Who do you think Trump would want: someone with musical talent, or someone who can look good lip syncing to old songs on stage?

Wait… does that mean if I spin up 5 million LLCs in Delaware, I get 5,000,001 votes?

But what are they using to replace Copilot/Gemini?

If the answer is “Nothing…”

… they may end up becoming really popular really quickly.

Back when we were in the office, my manager was in a different office in a different time zone than me. The people I worked with were located all around the world. I would go in to work, having to often go in early or stay late, to take video calls with my coworkers.

Every once in a while, I’d fly to some other part of the world for a few weeks to train/mentor others, while dealing with jet lag.

My company was in the middle of realizing WFH made way more sense from a money and a training perspective when Covid hit.

We accelerated our plans and have been WFH ever since. I actually spend MORE time mentoring others now because instead of a 1 hour commute to work, I can hop online at 6 AM or 10 PM for a while and work directly with the people who need assistance.

And then I can take a chunk off in the middle of my day to go to the dentist, go for a walk, or work on personal projects.

Now, this isn’t the case for everyone, but for information workers who are already working in multiple locations, adjusting working style can result in MORE support of junior workers, and everyone’s quality of life increases.

The key is to not work from home as if you were commuting to an office. Different skills and techniques are required. Different people will be better at them.

Because it’s backed by CloudFlare. Why is it backed by CloudFlare? Because it has open registration and gets spammed a lot.

The provenance and concept look fine; the claim to be the first decentralized VPN rings a bit hollow when TOR predates it by decades. That in itself makes me question the other claims more than I would if they just stuck to “properly decentralized” or similar. Celebrity sponsorship also rings warning bells for me.

But then, using a VPN for privacy purposes seems odd to me too — unless you own both ends of the tunnel.

Good point; I already live here. Some places are more expensive than others, but you can expect San Fransisco-style prices for things, not Cleveland-style prices.

Just a reminder that Canada just expanded citizenship; many Americans may already be dual citizens and not even realize it.

So? Tor is in a similar boat.

Government agencies need secure crypto to hide their activities, and it doesn’t work if they’re the only ones using the technology.
