Also Fastmail user for many years, with custom domain. I use specific email addresses per service with Bitwarden’s recent feature (by hand before this). My personal address is shared with few people.

I set up specific folders based on aliases. Thanks to GDPR I have found a few companies that have shared / sold my data illegally (the company-assigned address popped up somewhere else) and managed to have them delete my data right away.

I fret losing my domain, and that my recovery addresses are Gmail and Outlook - which could be lost at any time.

I would like to see government issue a lifetime inbox in the same way they issue you a SSN, a passport or driver license so I can have that as last line recovery.

But on the other hand, if we had that politicians would likely enforce mandatory identification across all web services…


Some Latin American cities were designed as grids (100m x 100m squares), and numbering of blocks spans a hundred per block (first block is 0 to 100 house numbers).

So if you are at 200s in one street and are looking for a house at 1200s, you know you are a kilometer away.

This with numbered streets is awesome to navigate. Buenos Aires has the first, but named streets. La Plata in Argentina has both.

If you are into maps see an air pic of La Plata.

Chicago is like this, there are numbered streets on the south side, but all the streets on the north and west sides are named, however they're very good about putting the grid numbers on the named street signs, so it's easy to figure out where you are. 100 addresses per block, 8 blocks to a mile, so if I'm at Western and Belmont, that's 2400W 3200N, so 3 miles west and 4 miles north of downtown. All the Metro stations list the grid numbers on the signs at the exits too

I bought two office phones for 30 euros each (Yealink) and set up a VOIP plan with voip.ms for my 8 and 9 YO kids.

I recently got divorced, so there is a phone at each house in case they want to reach out to the other parent directly. Ex and I did not want the kids to feel their right to reach the other parent needed to ask for permission

Family has Softphone in their mobiles, so the full family is a speed dial away.

I also whitelist numbers they can dial out.

So far it’s working like a charm, they love it.


That’s beautiful and I respect your and your ex’s commitment to be good co-parents.


Most fund managers have an IQ of 50. And they get paid by fees. They will put your pension money into OpenAI without a doubt, as it’s easier to participate, crash and shrug that stay out.

“Nobody got fired for hiring McKinsey” in the PE bros era.


Delisting and going private is always an option if you want to go at your own pace and talk to your investors 1:1.


They would not be allowed to do so - too many shareholders. That’s why e.g. SpaceX will be going public even though Elon Musk would want to keep it private


Musk wants liquidity. And SpaceX wants more cash right now than can be raised privately. Which is a pretty shocking amount of cash.


Musk absolutely does not want SpaceX to stay private


Lame. I was expecting Elmo to crack cold fusion in a ketamine-infused weekend and solve power constraints for the world.

Guess he is not as bright as he thinks he is.


Not morally reprehensible? Do you tell your coworkers “hey, last night I sketched you nude, but it’s cool, it’s in my bedside drawer…”


I would personally not tell them because not everyone likes to know what/that others think about them. But I do not see the moral issue if I don't tell them.

What if I only thought about it? Still morally reprehensible? Or only if I tell others I think about them? Then you could argue it's sexual harassment.


I've had a coworker tell me something very close to that before. I could have been morally outraged but instead I just propositioned them for a date.

Personally I think it's just embarrassing, not immoral.


Seems quite dangerous. In my country, this was the norm for local flights - usually smaller planes, 1-2hr flights. It was common that if you could not attend a meeting, a colleague would go with your ticket. Nobody cared.

Then one plane crashed. And some passengers weren't insured, as they were not officially on the plane. Those families could not get a body back, nor any compensation, as the company said that they could not prove they were on the plane.

I don't read the small print of IATA when getting a ticket, maybe I should someday.


2013 MacBook Air on Linux Mint is fantastic


This time with more prostitution!
