Konstantine Buhler: "In the past 100+ years only twelve companies have earned the title of most valuable public company in the US. Most recently Nvidia. The majority of these companies are tied to major technology advancements. Four of which were types of computing (Mainframe, Personal, Mobile, AI). Two more are types of communications enabled by electronics (Telephony, Internet). The dates the companies became #1 are early in each technology revolution. Each market continued to evolve, experience ups-and-downs, and mature over coming decades. Nvidia's ascent (and it's ups and downs) is a reminder that AI Computing is likely to progress similarly."

sergey: "I've tested countless different email services for my multiple products past 3 days. Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 Business (god forbid), iCloud+, Tuta, Zoho, Mailboxorg, multiple domain registrars, even Cloudflare Email Routing + transactional email provider option... Forward Email turned the best of all @fwdemail For $3 you have unlimited custom domains (with separated mailboxes!), unlimited aliases, catch all, all protocols support, amazing open source ecosystem, lot's of developer options and API, perfect spammyness score without hassle. Honestly, can't see any downsides. Well, I guess I only needed to wait few hours after adding domain for manual approval for SMTP send, but that's fine. Can recommend. Great job
