Re: Show HN: Browse recently expired, pronounceable domain names
#22I've recently compromised and started using a hyphen in my domains. Any ideas on the potential downsides for this? It certainly helps with finding reasonable .coms without resorting to dropping vowels or weird spelling combinations.
I like the phone test. You should be able to tell someone your domain over the phone and they should understand what it is without any clarification. Hyphens and misspellings fail this test.

ex-ample.com
"eee ex hyphen ample.com"
Does this fail your test?

I recall reading that hyphenated domains were penalised on Google but I have no idea if this is still true.

Err... what's a plausible reason passwords would be restricted to 20 chars, other than being stored in plaintext in a char(20) field?
Making sure you can't DDoS by sending gigabyte passwords for the server to hash. Of course 20 is seriously … overprotective.
Pretty sure nothing's stopping me from sending a gig of data to their server anyway.

No, but hashing is much more intensive than just receiving it.

#28Nice. I wonder what methods and tools did you use for defining pronouncability. Care to share some tips? Just curious about language-oriented programming.
It appears to me (from my quick glance through it) that all of the domains follow the pattern of alternating consonants and vowels (with an additional rule which is that it allows for two identical consonants in a row, e.g. "mm" or "ll"). Combinations of letters which alternate between vowels and consonants are typically at least somewhat pronounceable.
