- Blowout:
- Chapter a:
- Gave a short profile of Sechin, a Russian who is highly loyal to and has been following Putin for many years.
- He works hard (to make up for not being intelligent) and ruthless in crushing those that pose a threat to Putin.
- Used to work in the shadows but had to fix his image once he became more visible in public.
- Chapter b:
- Exxon, like others in the industry, eyed Russia because of its huge natural resources (something like 25% of the world supplies).
- Its CEO also understood that his best bet of furthering his agenda, i.e. tax cuts and lesser government regulations, was through Sechen. This is something that his competitors seem to have missed.
- Putin and Sechen cared about two things: gaining power (and all the money that their corrupt activities allowed them) and increasing Russia’s influence in the world. Improving the lives of their citizens: not so much.
- Exxon, like others in the industry, eyed Russia because of its huge natural resources (something like 25% of the world supplies).
- Chapter a:
- Why I want to move away from Tailscale.
- I really like Tailscale as a service, especially how it punches holes in firewalls and allows devices to connect with each other 1:1.
- However, its iOS mobile app sucks: it hogs battery so crazy that one day, the day I decided to stop using Tailscale for now, I observed it used 25% of the battery in last 24 hours. That’s crazy.
