If you are using the network of a hotel or a train station, for instance. Assumption is that you trust that VPN provider of course.

I had heard from square, but never bothered to look up what they exactly do. I've been surfing through their wikipedia entry and website (very nice design!), and it looks very intriguing.

Now the question is of course, who has had some experience with it? Is this confined to SF, other american cities? Does it work as elegantly as it looks? Paying with a credit card at a restaurant always seems to take forever, I'd like to be able to spare some hassle.

First of all, I very much doubt that she actually worked 130 hours per week with any regularity. That comes to 18.5 hours per day, including sundays. Even assuming that she could survive with 3 hours of sleep per day (yeah, sure), it leaves almost no time to eat, commute, or god, even going to the bathroom.

And why in the world is she giving advice on burnout?

some sport teams are treated more as a toy than an investment by their owners, like Chelsea or Man. City.

interesting! I'll try to show up too

I've looked around a bit, but I didn't find how do you configure the layouts. Is it with a config in a particular language, a la XMonad, or something else?

munich would be cool

"if someone wants to track you, they will find a way."

true, but the key thing is how much effort does it take. If NSA-like resources are needed, well then you are pretty damn safe. But if some guy can find you in two minutes by using just Google, that's something you might want to check.

nothing. I've discovered I had the same pwd for the panel and for the ssh access, although I almost never use the ssh one. Time to check every password, it seems ...

What are you waiting for to write those posts? I'd love to read how you manage to change your country of residence, and about all the small things that you have to consider.

that is not true. In Europe, when you say "I have 30 days of holidays", that means 30 days that you can personally take off whenever you want (more or less). National holidays, like Christmas, are never counted because they are free for everybody. So assuming the US and Europe have a similar number of national holidays, you get about 2x more personal holidays in Europe.

(Again, this varies. In Germany it is usually around 28-30, in Spain around 22)

I live in Germany, and I know many engineers who work for one of the big carmakers (either directly or through some external company). Most of them are under some form of collective bargaining agreement. They have a lot of nice perks, like paid overtime (in the form of days of) and pretty good salaries.

Meanwhile I work as a developer for an internet company. I've never heard of anybody working under a CBA, or any kind of compensation for overtime (except for extreme cases, like working on sundays). I earn significantly less too.

So I guess unions can be good sometimes, or something.

I think the biggest change for regular users is a good package manager. ELPA is coming per default in emacs24, and there is a project in github (el-get) that is even better. I have a pretty big emacs config, and configuring some external modules (and updating them!) used to be a nightmare. Now it has gotten much easier.
