Most western states are looking at bleak prospects in terms of keeping their welfare system going unless the citizens have more children.

Either that or accept immigration, which many western states don’t want to do either.

I’ve run a 7800X3D - I wouldn’t say it runs cool; my 5800X3D did but the 7800 seems to just run as much as it can until it’s under the temp ceiling, favouring performance over temp.

Don’t come here with your data and upset our dearly held opinions.

I’m saying that many jobs require frequent travel. Software engineers will need to attend meetings in other offices, salespeople will be out with potential customers, customer success staff will embed in other offices, people at all levels and in all functions will need to travel. CEOs need to travel too; if you think the CEO of Amazon or similar sized businesses can do their job from a small office, I would wager you haven’t been very close to the demands of C-level in a business that size.

What makes you think I’m defending Amazon’s CEO to somehow protect my own future? I’m arguing that many jobs require travel, and that’s also the case for any CEO.

I personally work in a fully remote business that has never been anything but fully remote. I’ve made my bed and I’m laying in it very well thank you.

Yeah it’s not for me but that’s a different point to “will they be locked out of their passkey storage”.

ChatGPT absolutely has a path towards profitability.

No.

Most people will store in their ecosystem (Microsoft or Apple). Lose your device, recover via logging back into your service. That effectively means that logging in to your ecosystem is your “one password”. Of course you can shield that login with a passkey that sits in another instantiation of your account (laptop, home PC).

The nerds will use a platform-neutral password manager (last pass, 1Password) etc. That is likely to either be protected by a strong password AND a recovery key (to print on paper) OR a passkey stored in your platform ecosystem.

Personally I’m in 1Password, using a very long passphrase and a recovery key (two print outs, kept in two different locations).

If you ONLY use one device to enter your ecosystem you do have some risk if it is passkey secured. The end of the chain ought to be a highly secure password that you never reuse anywhere else (your “one” password). Best to go completely random and write it down on paper.

But the risk of never being able to access your ecosystem are really quite low.

I’ve been fully remote since COVID and have successfully argued for my team staying fully remote. I don’t for a second buy that a team works better in person, provided you make the right changes to your culture to ensure remote works.

I’m a fan of remote.

But come on, thats false equivalence and you know it. Of course a CEO isn’t in his office 5 days a week; mostly likely he is travelling 3 weeks out of 4 and the last week he is actually in his nearest office. You would expect a CEO to move around their business. If they sat in an office every day they wouldn’t be doing their job.

Look at the job description and then decide if a role can be non-office-based.

I’ve seen the exact opposite happen a couple of times: “How the fuck did you not realise you were spending 70 grand in a month?!”

Although to be fair these days that gig is over. Unless you have path towards profitability it’s very hard to unlock investment beyond seed.
