I always use unique email as well. Just recently I started getting spam at newrelic@domain.com. It was easy to see where spam came from and add New Relic to the list of companies I’d not do business with.

I always use unique email. So far this problem only happened once with Zenni Optical.

@Fastmail: Another request. If I’m using my own domain, could the email generated be simpler?
Instead of “some.thing1234@”, I’d rather just have “thing1234@“.
Update: hmmm… looks like I can’t initiate an email with masked email though. I can set up my wildcard to do that in the more rare case when I need to initiate email.

Go to Fastmail → Settings → Masked Email. There, click the "Edit" link next to the address you want to delete. On the following page, there's a big red "Delete" button. Works for me. :)
Update: looks like deletion only works when using the website, though.
Ah thanks. Currently out so didn’t check the desktop website. Hope the delete button can work on mobile too.
This is a great feature. I’m glad this will bring it to more people.

@Fastmail: Please let me delete a masked email after creating it. Thanks.
I just tried it with my own domain via the Fastmail iOS app. There doesn’t seem to be a way to delete things.
I do like that I can attach notes and have an easy block button. I might start using it instead of my existing wildcard setup, but need delete.
Using unique email per service is really great. I detected Zenni Optical either had a security breach or sold my information because of the unique email I used.

I have an add-on that I submitted an update for on June 21, 2021. It’s still “Awaiting Review”.
It’s an add-on that only I use. It’s not published broadly. I basically only needed Mozilla to sign it so I can install it.
Very frustrating. After waiting for a long while, I gave up and switched to the Developer Edition so I can use my own add-on.
I've been a fan of Khan Academy since they were just some Youtube videos.
You can find Khan Academy's past Form 990 online and I've been archiving them.
Sal Khan made:
2008: ? ($0 revenue)
2009: ?
2010: $70,833
2011: $348,879
2012: $348,529
2013: $348,292
2014: $548,116
2015: $800,000
2016: $815,000
2017: $785,000
2018: $824,000
You can see that, just like a startup, the sacrifice in the beginning as a founder is real. Before 2010 his salary from KA was probably 0 or significantly less. $70K in 2010 was less than my new grad salary. The jump in 2011 to $350K is around how much a senior makes in HCOL areas now. There has been basically no adjustment in his earning for 4 years from 2015 to 2018.
From the 990 forms, you can also get a sense of how much other people in the organization are being paid. I think all of them can command higher compensation elsewhere, but choose to work at KA because leveling the playing field for education is such a great mission.
Sal Khan's compensation as a CEO is only ~3.x times of many senior positions in the organization. Not outrageous at all.
In 2008's Form 990, Sal Khan wrote that KA is being used by 10,000 students daily. I don't know how many accounts, but growing from that to 71 million in 2018 is incredible. The impact to the world is undeniable.

Does Fastmail offer an auto-backup option? Or any other email provider?
I use offlineimap (https://www.offlineimap.org/) weekly to backup my email from FastMail.

Hot take: we should revive ATOM instead.
RSS and ATOM are both nearly always machine generated and machine read so this may seem trivial to argue, but for those who are interesting in seeing the difference, this is a good article http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/Rss20AndAtom10Compared
--------
When I wrote a forum software a while back, it was trivial to not only add a feed for new threads but also for new comments (per thread and board-wide). Made it very easy to monitor updates on all my devices. Most wikis have RSS/ATOM feeds for recent changes which is a great power feature for admins.
Mastodon is atom-based, I believe. Early twitter supported RSS / ATOM feeds which arguably made it easier to follow hashtags or news accounts.
Another benefit of RSS/ATOM is that you can plug them into chatbots or use them to mirror content. I would love to see syndication come back to the spotlight!
I wrote tweets2rss[1] and use it to turn my private lists into RSS feeds. For example, I have a feed in my RSS reader for interesting people (Bill Gates, Elon Musk, etc) and a list for interesting companies.
