I like https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ But I suspect NSA can decyrpt their stuff. I suspect the question breaks down to: 1) are you important or rich enough for someone to target? 2) Who are you protecting against?

Correction: that is how much they make WEEKLY on 'librapay'. That is not the only way they take money. Not how much they get from other methods, like paypal and flattr. They also accept bitcoin, cheque via GNOME.

You need to add in a 'force majeure clause' to your contracts. The IRS issue was not your fault. There was NOTHING you could do about it. EIN number, was probably the easiest part of setting up the company. Value ... maybe a 10

OMG me too. I was having an eye exam. The technician had a black field with a bunch of lines. Holding a rod with a white dot, and told to let them know when it disappeared. I laughed, "Well that will only happen if you put it behind

How to manage their money. I have given them an allowance, not for chores but for being a family member. You do chores because you are a family member. Paid monthly, based on number of Fridays in a month. Annual increase (on birthday).

This is what is known as the 'Tyranny of Choice'. Human brain does real good with 2 or 3 choices. Beyond that the number of choices make it hard to do a valid comparison. The fear of making a bad choice paralyzes many people. S
