It is a strange comparison indeed, esp. with some generations of engineers might not even know what a floppy disk was, let alone imagine how the 1% of the capacity translates to network protocols.
Good luck with that. He pissed away $44B buying and running Twitter into the ground and now expects others to invest? Especially this area—-Musk was so certain OpenAI was doing it wrong and too slowly. How’d that position work out?
Brings back fond memories. I was at JSC in Houston and took on a consulting job to convert a massive data manipulation and statistical analysis program that ran in COBOL on an IBM 370 to run on an IBM PC. I did a portion of the code in Turbo Pascal just for fun on a bet that it would run faster (in terms of user wait time) and it did—-45 minutes down to 5. Then I wrote the rest of the code, optimized, and got my first 80286-based PC and we got sub-minute processing times. At that point I convinced my friend that we could dispense with the collection of the massive data set via bubble scan sheets filled out in the field with an early laptop computer. We went through multiple iterations and improvements over a few years and the system ran for 15+ years, albeit on much improved hardware as time went on.
You CANNOT deactivate an email with one click. If you delete an email address you would expect it to be dead. Not so—-if an email is sent to the address it is re-activated. I’ve reported this annoying behavior multiple times to no avail.
You can set a mask to blocked, after which it will no longer forward emails to you. If you do this before deleting the mask, they will not re-appear. Additionally, we recommend you to use the random (i.e. @mozmail.com) rather than custom (i.e. @<yoursubdomain>.mozmail.com) addresses if you can, since those are more anonymous, and those will also never re-appear.
That said, we do hear this complaint, and we do have plans to prevent this from happening in the future. It's just hard to balance with a lot of other work (such as the Firefox integration).
Founder of interviewing.io here. The author of the post is not an engineer, period. This means he has never written code, and he has certainly never designed systems.
that seems a little disingenuous. accurate, but borderline lying by omission. yes yes, someone could just, you know, read the article. totally get that you’d rather that. anyway, from the author:

creating content for engineers. and the founder of the site being linked to is adding context for the author, just as was done on the post.
the post is, of course, an advertisement.
this is fine. but when your site is for anonymous mock interviews, and the post is about passing a mock interview, it stops being so gosh golly gee shocking that your poster passed your test without being “qualified.”
Really? This is a ridiculous statement and sounds like we're worried about bandwidth consumption from the time when a US Robotics modem was a luxury.
