No one has got "null.dev". I'm disappointed.

Unfortunately, 'mauricio' is on the global domain reserve list administered by ICANN, so it cannot be registered on any ngTLD. I believe it's Mauritius in another language?
Oh, interesting, yes this is "mauritius" in Spanish a not so common name. I didn't know this, thank you for pointing it out. I guess that list is recent as mauricio.com and mauricio.co belongs to regular people and are currently working. Do you happen to have a link to said list? A quick googling returned nothing relevant for me.
.com is a legacy gTLD, which existed long before these restrictions were codified in 2012 for the new gTLD program. .co is a ccTLD (it's for Colombia), and ccTLDs also predate the gTLD program and are not subject to the gTLD program restrictions besides.

Just don't forget that .co is subject to Columbian jurisdiction, .be to Belgian jurisdiction, and .io to British jurisdiction. Also, .io has colonialist/imperialist baggage: https://gigaom.com/2014/06/30/the-dark-side-of-io-how-the-u-...
... as opposed to .dev, which is under what, google's jurisdiction?
ICANN's.

Except it's not, Google has price ranges for registration dates. So if you wanted to registered today (Feb 19th) that's gonna cost you $11,500, but if you want to wait until it's free, that's 10 days from now. https://domains.google/tld/dev/
That's still first come first served.
No it isn't. It's first come with tons of money served.

Arguably, ICANN's jurisdiction.
gTLDs have very different rules under ICANN from ccTLDs. For the most part, ccTLDs, the ones governed by countries are very subject to those own countries laws/jurisdictions as ICANN has let countries be relatively sovereign in their domain name usage. This is a part of why it is even possible for there to be colonialist/imperialist baggage in domain names, because ICANN won't interfere in "local" politics, it "simply" allows ccTLD registrars to act as they see fit. Once "hip" ccTLDs have had domains seized in regime changes, for example.
Meanwhile, as mentioned elsewhere in these threads, ICANN has a much more hands on regulatory approach to non-country-code gTLDs. They have formal escrow requirements and complicated seizure/forfeiture rules intended to protect domain registrants. These are not entirely immune to political battles, but are generally more "internationally protected".
Anyway, the point is awareness. Use a ccTLD if it makes you happy, just be aware that there is a different risk footprint than a gTLD.

Yeah, it's a Dutch auction. This is the first price step, so everything costs that much today, even adgfhjklhajklsdfghaksdfasdf.dev. The price will go down according to the schedule, and it'll be bought when someone is willing to pay that much for it.
The rich get first pick. How very capitalist.
It's much more fair this way. If domains were cheap right away, bots would buy all them up. This gives people the chance to buy a domain- this round is more for businesses, but future rounds in the hundred of dollars will be better for the average person.
Re: First .dev Domains Go Live
#197Slack and Github were so worried about someone cybersquatting that they were willing to pay $11,500 each to get those domains today? I guess that's the point of the Dutch auction system, but still seems like a waste of money.
11k for a large company barely registers on their radar.

Wait, does a YT ban extend to all Google products? Does this lock someone out of, say, webmaster tools?
Not normally but they do ban your entire account if their bots believe you've been very naughty. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-47278362 Despite the ban being due to a violation of YT terms of service they lost their entire Google account. > "But because my Google account was terminated as well I didn't have access to my email so I couldn't see what happened."
Now imagine you had a profitable business on Google Cloud and this happened.
Re: First .dev Domains Go Live
#199On a recent thread Google personnel mentioned that ICANN forces all domain providers to backup their data so that any domain provider going bankrupt won't affect domains. However there was no mention of what procedures Google Domains themselves have put in place to protect their customers in case their customers get irreversibly banned somewhere within Google's vast empire. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=191787…
do you have a registrar recommendation? I'm planning on a .dev being my first domain.
I also have a good track record with Namecheap for bussiness and personal domains.
Re: First .dev Domains Go Live
#200I sort of get the appeal of a '.dev' TLD, but I wish that google donated the whole thing to those who were using it informally for local development. That would have been a good gift to all the devs out there.
The `.test` and `.localhost` TLDs are already reserved for such purposes: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2606
Interesting. Because my /etc/hosts file had the following as a default:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
