Totally disagree tbh. Obscurity is about the only form of security worth the name these days. Don't run on open source software - doesn't matter how obscure it is, the LLMs will know about it. Don't run on software that other

Really cool stuff, I thought about launching something similar earlier this year, there's definitely a market there. I see a lot of AI-ative startups coming up against compliance requirements way earlier than before, with much smaller

Yeah, I know - but an antenna embedded within a small box is going to be much less effective than a big old directional Yagi antenna like https://www.satshop.fi/en/4g/4g-5g/4g-antennas.html Seems weird to cri

Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon might get through easily as companies . I don't think all G/M/M/A staff will get through easily.

Only if you're only talking about income from work. If you own property in country A which you rent out while you live & work in country B, then you probably still owe tax on that rental income in country A. (but it will depend on

Otherwise pointless pedantry, but in line with the "nobody cares about quality" ... "the hoi polloi " grates every time I read it. " hoi polloi " literally means " the many ", so this is an awkward p

Actually, London used to have one area code, "01". Then at some point it was split into inner & outer, and there was endless one-up-manship about whether you had an inner or outer London code. (obviously, inner London was posh
