Which golden goose has died or is going to? Tech profits are through the roof and have never been better, while growth continues unabated. The only thing big tech is facing are speeding fines and regional constraints on growth, which it can trivially afford (it has been a decade of the same talk while big tech has gotten massively bigger).
The US tech golden goose is going to get bigger and richer yet. It should only take you a few moments to estimate reasonably where eg Microsoft is going this decade (~$140+ billion in operating income, probably the size of all of Europe's tech companies op income combined in one company).
Seems like just another low-effort dig at greenwald? He's got haters for sure but they never seem to have substantive arguments... or at least none that I've seen.
Also, not as granular, but instead of the + suffix, add a dot in a weird place. So
n.ame@gmail.com or nam.e@gmail.com . Many SMTP servers respect periods as differentiating emails, so services can't delete them. It doesn't help you stop spam, but you can add a gmail filter that n.ame@gmail.com is put in a separate label. And it's very fast to type, easy for non tech-y people
It’s almost as trivial with this format too, at least to guess what address is used for other services, though it has a strong advantage over using ‘+’ in GMail in that nothing will try this automatically. It’s hard to believe anyone would intentionally try to guess a different service’s email to spam to it, but even so in my setup I prefer to eliminate this possibility completely by adding a random number to the service name: experian12322@example.com, and so on, with no catchall for invalid addresses.
So far the most spam I’ve gotten has been to the address I used for Amazon (probably leaked by a third‐party seller there).
I mean you can pick any format you want before the "@", but yeah my format is trivial. Nobody has tried to do it automatically yet though, as far as I can tell.
Though I had originally made this because with the "+" approach, you can easily get the original address by simply removing everything after the "+", while with mine you cannot. On top of that, sometimes "+" does not work in services that do "strict email validation".
He doesn't pfft anything, that much is clear from the very first 2 paragraphs. Also this is from 2019, before M1. Next time, at least read a bit of the article.
