A startup is bypassing immigration law by creating a floating village in international waters.
I think my favorite thing from
this article about the crazy floating startup village is the nonchalance about about lasers and undersea internet cables: "A laser could be good, but is susceptible to fog, which is bad in the Bay Area. We’re considering running an undersea cable from ship to shore, but it may be be cost prohibitive. [Blueseed has received estimates of over a million dollars for just the installation, but is still researching permits.]"
Reminds me of my favorite Simpson's joke ever. Homer and Bart are on a boat in international waters and in the distance is a boat with a big satellite dish. Homer turns to Bart and says, "See that ship over there? They’re re-broadcasting Major League Baseball with
implied oral consent, not
express written consent—or so the legend goes."
