China-Email: Would be interesting to buy email hosting from a super secure email service based out of China. Basically a "trust in math" approach where they operate despite adversaries. With huge claims on the website:

- No physical security: our offices don't even have locks

- Pro-crime-CEO: our CEO is a known (and future) criminal

- Political: we seriously try to read your email for the cops but we cant :(

- None of that matters because our protocol is open source, blockchain enabled, and it doesn't matter if you trust us at all.

Seems like a joke but you get my point. In God we trust, for everyone else use math.



> - Pro-crime-CEO: our CEO is a known (and future) criminal

Best to not have employees if they know the CEO is pro-crime. I mean why not eBay all of the company's equipment on my personal account? Just towing the company line.


Even people who are pro-crime tend the be anti-being-a-victim-of-crime, and extent that to organizations they lead unless they are the perpetrator of the crime.


It's silly to think your kids will do as you say rather than what you do.


I like how you think, you're hired!


I kind of figure that since I don’t live in the Chinese sphere of influence I might be better off using a Chinese service if I had really sensitive communications.


> for everyone else use math.

Your code better be flawless.


And immutable.
