Please don't "move fast and break things" with nuclear fusion :-)

What is the worst that can happen?

Seriously, I think I might know (a fire) but I do not.

Is there any possibility these can go ban! and spread nasty stuff around the neighbourhood?

I doubt they can go thermonuclear bang! but I am not a physicist.

What is the worst than can happen?

Well, neutron bombardment from fusion means you get some radioactive isotopes. It's not as bad as spent fuel but still something to avoid.

But that doesn't really matter. This is expensive technology you don't want to blow up. Yes, more expensive than rockets.

It sounds like the DOD already does block emails to .ml because of this issue:

> Lt. Cmdr Tim Gorman [...] said that emails sent directly from the .mil domain to Malian addresses “are blocked before they leave the .mil domain and the sender is notified that they must validate the email addresses of the intended recipients”.

I think the issue is people sending emails from personal accounts that the DOD cannot control. The article also mentions travel agents as another source of the email.

>travel agents as another source of the email

Sales and travel agents, an IT depts worse nightmare. People too busy to double check anything are the fault of emails delivering to the wrong recipient.

Colour me surprised.

I felt the same way, which is why I started a recurring donation to WikiMedia. After about a year, they e-mailed me trying to convince me to write WikiMedia into my will. Check out this transparent attempt at manipulation:

> Many supporters like you who understand the usefulness of planning ahead have chosen to include a gift to Wikipedia in their will. They want to do more to protect free knowledge and are invested in building a legacy with Wikipedia to ensure their values live on for many years to come.

"If you understood the importance of planning ahead, you'd already have WikiMedia in your will, bozo"

There are probably newer tools for this, but we use `eslint-plugin-expect-type` [0] for this:

Approximately 61,761,765 emails sent, if we figure 1 email per comment per member. Nice!

> The truth is no one really sells your email – at least no legitimate companies.

`xfinity2@mydomain.com` is the only email that I've ever caught being sold via my catch-all email. I get a decent amount of phishing, scams, malware, etc. to that address. But I guess the author is still correct, since Xfinity/Comcast are sometimes less than legitimate.

Just for fun. It adds a little personality to your profile page, plus it shows up when folks hover over your username across GitHub.

Yeah, I noticed that too, someone's getting scammed.

Does ICANN already have rules around what prices registrars can charge for domains? It seems like that's the only solution in the current TLD system - ICANN needs to step in and prevent anti-consumer practices like year-over-year price increases that vastly outstrip inflation.
