<p>> You can use a standard subway ticket<p>almost. the airport is one stop into zone C, and a “standard” ticket would only be valid in zones A and B.<p>you need either an ABC ticket or a standard ticket + extension ticket.</p>

<p>you’re not all that far off<p>* you’d have to sign up with a colo provider first. since data centers in physical buildings, this just depends on where you live<p>* when you sign up with them they provide you with info like ip addresses or how to connect to their network (they might have dhcp, or you might have to configure static ips).  usually there is a initial setup fee, around 1 month of rent.<p>* if you just rent a a 1U space you usually can get physical access to it while accompanied by someone working for the data center. usually this is during business hours, but each data center will have its own rules. if you rent larger units, such as a full rack (42U) or half a rack you usually get a key card and can access it 24/7 (this usually involves a phone call for them to remotely open a lock)</p>

<p>some years ago i ran a vpn service together with a friend. we had the second skill set you mentioned, but not the first.<p>we didn’t overhype the privacy aspect (and would in fact explain what _wasnt_ private about vpns, not that anyone was interested in listening) and primarily existed to serve a customer base for other reasons.<p>it was a good experience, but it went nowhere really. but i did quickly figure out that almost every large vpn provider out there has more of the first skill set you mentioned.</p>

<p>You can’t really stop people from finding your face online if it’s on social media, but you can present the information so that you’d first read the text and then see a photo.<p>Move the photo on the profile to the bottom of it, and make it optional.</p>

<p>What if the photo is optional and displayed at the bottom? Showing a practically mandated photo first puts a lot of unconscious biases in your head.<p>This is a relatively new trend, and probably has something with social media to do.</p>

<p>> well-managed environment (ie one that has non-rudimentary window management and a browser/extension that handles idle tabs with negligible ongoing resource use).<p>Can you elaborate on this? Which extensions are you talking about?<p>I also rack up hundreds of tabs and my browser is often the main resource hog for me. I’ll often have to kill -9 it to force it to start with “oops we crashed, here are your previous tabs in an unloaded state”, but it sounds like you have a better way of doing this</p>

<p>twitter isnt the place for reasonable nuanced discussion, if you think facebook et al. are bad then you are supposed to agree with the hyperbolic black and white language.<p>although this isnt twitter, i sometimes feel like the commenters on HN have spent too much time on twitter. i cant stand opinionated twitter "personalities" that tweet more than they code, and it's been bleeding over to other places as well.</p>
