If you want to operate a company you need to follow the demands of the current government in the location(s) where you operate. It's the same in every country in the world.
If you're too small for the government to care about you, that just means following the published laws.
If you're large then it means getting in favor with the current regime via whatever methods are available to you.
The "hide my email" function is to hide your email address from random companies that might sell or leak your address to spammers.
It's not to hide your address from law enforcement, and never was.
Bell Labs invented the transistor because the low hanging fruit of vacuum tubes had dried up. Some low hanging fruit is always dried up. That never stopped progress.
While true, the pace of the Next Big Thing is not necessarily constant.
I found the book underwhelming. The Martian was a great book, and I read it long before I heard of the movie. Project Hail Mary I found was much more formulaic book and much less compelling a read than The Martian. I haven't read Artemis - in fact, I didn't know of it until recently.
It was my friend who introduced me to Project Hail Mary and said it wasn't as good. After getting my own copy at a local indie bookstore and reading it, I have to agree. It's a nice book, but honestly it lacked a lot of the surprise and wonder of The Martian.
Still, doesn't mean I don't want to see the movie, but i probably would get it on disc since I can't really justify seeing it in IMAX. Unless it was in 3D I suppose. 3D at home is basically dead which makes it impossible to see anything in 3D outside of theatres.

Try saying there are 2 genders and that men shouldn't play in women's sports.
Go to Twitter and try saying that gender is on a spectrum and women should have bodily autonomy.
Let us know how that works out.
So you can imagine it, right?
Inge Esping, the principal of McPherson Middle School, has spent years battling digital devices for children’s attention. Four years ago, her school in McPherson, Kan., banned student cellphones during the school day. But digital distractions continued. Many children watched YouTube videos or played video games on their school-issued Chromebook laptops. Some used school Gmail accounts to bully fellow students.
In December, the middle school asked all 480 students to return the Chromebooks they had freely used in class and at home. Now the school keeps the laptops, which run on Google’s Chrome operating system, in carts parked in classrooms. Children take notes mostly by hand, and laptops are used sparingly, for specific activities assigned by teachers. “We just felt we couldn’t have Chromebooks be that huge distraction,” said Ms. Esping, 43, Kansas’ 2025 middle school principal of the year. “This technology can be a tool. It is not the answer to education.”
McPherson Middle School no longer gives students their own Chromebooks to use in school and take home. The laptops are now kept in classroom carts and used only for specific activities assigned by teachers. McPherson Middle School, about an hour’s drive from Wichita, is at the forefront of a new tech backlash spreading in education: Chromebook remorse.
