  • I would have guess “big oil” for 300.

    That being said I don’t see why anyone would be opposed to other people having the option to work remotely, as it does not take away from your option to choose to work in a office environment five days a week if it’s more enjoyable to you. Other people in the office are not “decorative” or considered “furniture”.

    Some benefits for people that prefer to work “in office” if other are allowed to work remotely (that I can think of from the top of my head).

    • less people on the morning commute meaning a quicker and more enjoyable trip into work.
    • less distraction when trying to concentrate.
    • less chance to catch a cold or virus.
    • cleaner facilities from less use, and less wear and tear of office equipment.

    And I say this as someone that goes into a office environment three days a week (because I enjoy “getting out” and it’s closer to a bar I like), but I do miss the times when the morning commute was a 20 min drive as opposed to a 40-50 min commute.
















  • I believe you are correct.

    I was imagining “into the future” though, where everyone has a device that meshes with like devices, creating a internet of connect devices to transport data over large distances. All decentralized, if one node goes down traffic routes a different way in the mesh.

    Think Cellphone Towers for examples, but the idea is everyone would have their own device at home (or on them) that instead creates the mesh and simultaneously access the mesh.



  • Same, decentralized mesh networks would be the equivalent of a “federated internet”. No one person owning the infrastructure.

    If this were to become mainstream the mesh would become the “Internet”, with enough nodes, pcs and servers.

    And in the meantime where one mesh does not “connect” to another, traffic could be routed through the “old internet” by one or more exit nodes connected to the “old internet”.
