It's almost certainly Palantir. That's what appears to be the "AI" provider for government and big enterprises.

Out of curiosity why do you use both Artifactory and ECR? We're currently considering a switch from Artifactory to ECR for cost savings reasons.

Same here. If I try other ways to validate it seems to offer email addresses for people at the company (I'm guessing HR).

Can recommend. I followed Josh Doody's advice last time I switched jobs and I did really well in negotiations. Even though in the beginning of my job search I had given a recruiter my preferred salary range (my mistake) and of course the company's offer was at the bottom of that range, I was still able to negotiate and recover quite nicely in the end. Though, having multiple offers on hand helped a lot.

This. I cringe every time I see a coworker log into some site using LastPass, 1Password, or really any other cloud-hosted password manager.

Not sure why Viber is on your list of fallen messaging apps. In the past few years I've seen more and more "X has joined Viber. Say hi!" notifications about my contacts (based in the US, which if anything makes me think it's growing).

As a kid (~10-11yo) growing up in Eastern Europe my friends and I would look for old car batteries left by dumpsters. We'd break them, take the lead grids out and clean them up, build a small fire, melt the lead, and then pour it into molds we'd make of wood, usually in the shape of ninja stars to play with. Fun times!

Not surprising. Anecdotal, but I was once hit by a cab while crossing the street. They were making a left turn. Yes, it was 2AM and I was wearing dark clothes but still, there was plenty of light at that intersection and it's not like I jumped out of nowhere (I had already walked more than halfway across the street before I was suddenly on the car's hood and then of course on the asphalt). Luckily for me I didn't suffer any injuries (that I know of).

Received the following email from GoDaddy:

--------

We're retiring Workspace and moving your email to a new platform. We know change can be hard – but not this one. This update to Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy is going to be smooth, and you don't have to do anything.

For each of the following free accounts, you'll get a two-month free trial* to test drive Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy without paying a thing:

[redacted]@[redacted]

If you currently use catchalls in Workspace, Microsoft 365 doesn't support this functionality, but does have other options.

--------

I am indeed using a catchall for my domain and forwarding everything to my Gmail account. I have been enjoying free email service with my own domain for years, but it seems that I'll need to start paying for email service moving forward.

Seems like CTemplar (based in Iceland) supports Tor [0] and looks pretty good based on the comparison table they posted on their blog [1].

> A service must be paid for. And if a payment is done, it is connected to a real person. THE END

Unless payment is made in a way that preserves the user's privacy (i.e. using cryptocurrency).

Wouldn't even need to see the name to refuse to sign up. Assuming it's not Switzerland, all the other options seem bad.
