I always use unique email as well. Just recently I started getting spam at [email protected]. It was easy to see where spam came from and add New Relic to the list of companies I’d not do business with.
@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.
@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'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.
If you're not sure you want to delete your Facebook account completely, but think maybe you might want to reduce your use of it, then uninstalling the app from your phone is very helpful (Assuming you have it on your phone).
That worked very well for me. I used to have it on my phone and would check it all the time. Then I decided I didn't want to do that so I uninstalled it from my phone. Doing so helped me reduce and eventually stop using the website.
In between those times I also had a browser plugin to hide the news feed. So if I do login, I see nothing.
Now I'm basically rarely on Facebook. I have an account, but I don't feel I need to delete it because the account doesn't control or affect me. I can still get messages, and Facebook keeps trying to get me back into it with their notification emails, but I'm in control and I feel great about that.
