Sometime back, I registered a few domains with Gandi. Now, when I google my email, two of these domains are returned complete with my personal details from a site called cutestat. Anyone knows what a non Europe based person can do to have that information deleted?


After the 25th, send them a polite email saying you're a European resident, and you would like your personal data erased. Or if they have a contact form, visit their site from a European VPN, and submit a support request. If they question it, because your personal information says you live in the US, just say you relocated to Germany a few years ago, or you're dual citizenship with a European spouse. It's likely not worth their time to argue and risk a potential complaint.


Great perspective, I see.


You can not really delete this info: there are multiple "whois history" sites out there, and if you manage to persuade each one to remove old info, it would still be stored in numerous dumps one can find on closed forums or torrents.

Source: I myself have my (now outdated) phone number and home address attached to several domains...


I have been jobless for quite sometime. Did an interview recently for a non-tech position in a non-tech industry. I emerged as one of two top candidates alongside an old friend from a previous employer. I know the gentleman very well, and knew there was no way he could beat me in a fair game. Well, he did get the job. Two months later, I get called by HR asking whether I am still interested in the job. Being still jobless, I accepted the offer. Now, the shocking thing is, I did very well in the written test beating my old friend by a significant margin. Apparently, that didn't still factor in their final decision. And, how do I know about me acing the written test? Everyone who was in the panel has separately told me about it. Now, the only explanation I have for their leaving me out in the first place is that someone might have felt very threatened by my confidence and ambition. While only one panelist rated me highly in the oral interview, the rest rated me lower than my previous colleague but with a small margin.


I see Fenix wouldn't give autodidacts with no degrees a chance.


I'm not sure why you would think that... a lot of us are self-taught. Feel free to apply!


I had checked your website and saw the degree requirement.
