Loved your advise. I've been working remotely for almost 2 years and will never go back to an office, but it's good to still have a relationship in a coworking space and weekly meetings with everyone.
Exactly. I still get the office social life, and regularly chat to fellow co-workers by the coffee machine or go to lunch together, but I only have to walk two minutes round the block to get to work. My primary client is in another country so commuting wouldn't be viable anyway.
I think this was meant for me? No, I'm not planning to interview myself, but you can read about my progress on the blog: https://www.indiehackers.com/blog
Opera doesn't have the other concerns raised here. They aren't vendors of anything else themselves, and have no particular reason to use their data to further other goals they may have.
The question of whether this technically "works" is uninteresting. The answer is yes.
I would worry about Opera precisely because they aren't vendors of anything else themselves. Amazon can run these servers just to increase the cachet of the tablets they sell.
Opera needs to make sure that the servers they're running are bringing in income.
