Maybe take the loss and find EU based employment? Thats how our plan for moving has developed, the loss is theoretical based on the idea that values might recover at some later date, but the value of the move in terms of stability and progress is also theory, so its a matter of comparing probabilities and acting accordingly. At least in our case, the likelihood of future appreciation of assets is significantly lower and getting worse versus increasing value for efforts in safer markets. FWIW

I could. I actually like my current job and pay, so cutting losses (house, job,etc) and getting freelance employment with BV can be my backup plan.

this does happen: Imagine company B poached staff from A, presumaby for'insights' into company A IP, which had nothing to do with costly decisions and some missteps of unknown causes whereafter A os still in business and B? not so much. seems like a plotline by Sun Tsu

..was. /ftfy

...has happen3d. <-FTFY

If they are/were doing exactly that, would we know and could we find out? Im not sure that they aren't already; and an important part of deploying some securirty like this should be: don't disclose that youre doing this.

At least we would know that they use Signal, because they would need to either distribute a custom version of it or tell their employees to configure the proxy, right?

This instance was that timeline.

What?? If this partner hasn't been able to get a smartphone and stay up on tech/hn during a 'jailbird weekend' maybe they are not so 'successful' or resourceful after all.

However, the last 9 months have been awash with cryptobros turning AItards, wholesale plagiarism posing as promises of performance, and stagnation for C suite squatters laying off the very people who built the systems of production... so maybe missing it is a blessing.

FWIW, i wish i could skip the last year of tech news.
