Uh, 100R live on a boat? Like, sure, we can call them digital nomads but they are very much different from the “startup that has no office we have a travel st

  How many people can afford to live on a boat, sailing between countries, building and designing like they do? The motivations beat those of the average digital nomad by a mile, and I applaud them, but this is still squarely into "rich people" stuff.

    Why do you have "rich people" in quotes? They live in a 1982 sailboat as their primary residence. They use older hardware and are trying to be sustainable. Does this look like "rich people" to you? https://100r.co/media/content/travel/hathayim14.jpg https://100r.co/media/content/travel/hathayim14.jpg There are definitely rich people that live on $500,000 boats and sail the world. 100R doesn't appear to be that? I'm pretty sure they've actually decided "not to make a lot of money" and are rich in experiences from going all in on this lifestyle.

  You're right, it's a totally different thing that they're doing. That's why I'm conflicted, since I'm openly against digital nomads. It's still glamourizing a lifestyle that I can't see working on a larger scale, and which doesn't contribute to the infrastructure that enables it.

    > that I can't see working on a larger scale, and which doesn't contribute to the infrastructure that enables it. You put your finger on an objection I had but couldn't quite place.-
