PM at a large, retail domain registrar here. Registry Lock isn't something most retail registrars will offer, because generally, the vast majority of registrants don't really need it. It's not something you can just put into

Treating charging like we treat fuelling is the problem. The reason we have gas stations is because we have to store and dispense the fuel safely. We don't have a safe, effective system to transport gasoline to all of our homes and off

The single most terrible thing about Slack is the hostage holding of message archives. You don’t pay? Fine...you get 10k message history, no ability to set retention and Slack still stores all those messages forever, taunting me that they h
