Ignore the trolls and remove the alleged infringing image. Paying them £400 every time is just an invitation for more trolling.

The archiving could have moved it onto another platform that you don't have visibility of.

Suspiciously discontinuing this after outages feels like it was a resource hog.

I’ve got quarterly reports going back years with a folder for each quarter. The file contents are so similar that searching for a specific quarter would just bring them all up. Much quicker to drill down by folder.

Yep, I had one .eu domain. Got a few e-mails, happily ignored them all and let them cancel it.

Was it the payment processing company that were prone to dropshipping and barely-legal sellers, or that what was clogging up customer service?

I'd imagine those rare exceptions are exactly where most of customer service time in ecom/payments is spent.

Inside attack / insider's admin account credentials compromised / admin panel itself compromised. Would love to see an RCA on this.

Jack Dorsey's been pretty active on the podcast scene recently, and I feel it's harder to fake your personality in multiple long form conversations. I never got a hint of arrogance from him.

On a side note, why do people love to paint being the CEO of two companies in such a bad light? How is it different to a CEO of a conglomerate having responsibility for multiple divisions?

Trademarks normally work under a "use it or lose it" policy, so it's slightly different to avoiding typosquatting like you could with a domain, in that you actually have to demonstrate usage of it to maintain the registration.

Slightly off topic, but it took me a few attempts to really get into The Alchemist - maybe because I didn't appreciate where it was going or it just wasn't good reading material for where I was in life.

Eventually I stuck with it and found it a really eye-opening read, I feel like it's a life guidance book in disguise and I'm usually averse to them but the concept of a Personal Legend really did resonate with me.

Not really surprised by all the negative reviews on Goodreads, I stubbornly felt a similar way for a while.

This is brilliant - I'm amazed how humble you are in calling it a stupid website. I've always wanted to do "something" with video development, just because it's always been a massive black hole for me. Any tips?

And if you don't want to disable JS, every time you reach the article limit, in Chrome you can go to the Application tab in DevTools and "Clear site data".

I was thinking more businesses will question their long term commercial rentals and seek more flexible alternatives with a lighter overall footprint - benefitting the likes of WeWork.
