I think it's really hard to compare. Salaries are much lower but quality of life (IMO) much higher. I worked at a few tech companies in France. Almost nobody worked outside of the standard work hours (9-6 with 1 hour for lunch). Most people at lunch together; often at a restaurant.

People didn't worry about 401Ks & IRA - it's expected the security system and standard pension from working is sufficient.

People didn't worry about saving for kids college - they are close to free; same for healthcare.

You have 6 weeks of vacation (one job I had gave 9 weeks); and it's normal to take 2-3 weeks off at a time. In the US, from my experience, people don't leave for more than a week, and most of the work they missed is waiting for them upon their return.

Has this been tested, or is it just an idea. I imagine it would have some very serious limitations. Perhaps it could tell if you are likely in the US or Europe, but I doubt could get much more granular than that.

Starlink internet customers, and users of Apple's private relay (vpn-like service) would all be excluded?

I'll disagree with this take too. In cases where AI is comparable or only slightly better I'd agree many would prefer a human doing this task.

However when AI does a job better people will be fine with AI taking on the role. We are fine with computer controlled subway lines, dishwashers, and some even driverless cars. We are happy let machines do tasks if we're confident they will do them well.

I think that's coming soon when autocomplete will break in browsers. I love 1Password 7, but don't want to upgrade to 8 for a number of reasons (including reviews, monthly charges, having to trust the 1Password cloud - sorry that's just too enticing for a hacker)

I wish someone from the 1Password team would push to keep 1Password 7 in maintenance mode, without a subscription model. Just keep it working - I'd be happy to pay to keep it alive and kicking.

Notion - great for creating a personal wiki, use this to plan out my day

Mac-centric

Omnifocus - like Things you want a TO DO app to store everything you need to get done sone you can stop worrying you will forget stuff. Although I use Omnifocus a LOT (everything feeds into it) I use Notion to plan my day (with links back to Omni)

Devonthink - store all your papers and find them easily.

Alfred - keyboard shortcuts, custom workflows, clipboard history...

Amazon Echo Clock - the best way I've found to set pomodoro timers (so I can see them, but they don't distract me)

Tools aside though, it's important to create habits. Omnifocus can be tricky to setup in a way that works for you. It takes time to be able to use tools effectively, so only by constantly using them and tweaking processes will you get a great result.

Is Wake on Lan still actively used?

I created WOL software, but didn't do a good job of maintaining it. :|

So is any tweet that includes the location of someone else now free game to take down and potentially ban? "Paul Pelosi said something very interesting when leaving the SF court house..."
