This is why we can't have nice things.
I’m feeling extremely conflicted on all of this with IA right now. On one hand, I love IA On the other hand…I’m in a long thread with their support right now on removing old snapshots of a social media account I have. Creeps are actively using the old snapshots to dox me and send me death threats using my PII. It’s incredibly frustrating and IA keeps insisting they cannot do anything about it. A small part of me hope…

In case anyone would like these benefits but doesn't want to actually run an email server: All you actually need to accomplish this is a domain name and a decent provider. Fastmail is what I use and it's been great for me.
To be even easier, you can just have Apple or Google hold your domain and provide mail.

How long does an average hard drive last? You'd have to spend that 700k every that many years (plus the extra bits you mentioned). Quite an operation actually
> How long does an average hard drive last? This is a great question, and a state of the art kind of thing. HDDs are sold with a lifetime drive read/write amount and power cycle warranty, along with usually some environmental operating envelope. read/write relates to the quality/space of the platter, power cycle is usually the actuator & read/write head being reseated/wearing out.

That's a strange thing to read on Hacker news. Isn't that description the definition of hack value? As in http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hack-value.html Now, it depends what the "it" is referring to here, but so far all I've heard is about an alert() message saying the usernames will be sent to a breach alerting site. If they're doing it just for the heck of it, it's still costing a lot of people a lot of time tha…
True hackers probably have a special place in hell, but, in a good sense.
Consolation is that I used a randomly generated unique password, tried to reset my credentials and see of any 2FA options but the site is overloaded throwing 504s.

I don’t know about Google, but I know iCloud supports domain wildcarding
