Google went from allowing you to buy domains with one click to now showing you logos of companies you can buy them from, not even making them clickable

Interest(.ing)ly I could right click to open in new tab

I noticed the same thing! Leave it to one of the world's largest monopolies to botch such a basic call to action.

>> IMHO all those new TLDs are just a huge mistake and a blatant money-grab. Especially with this one. There is no room for competition since each verb can only be used once with the ing suffix. Well, competition for who is willing to pay the most, but from the consumer side there can only be one URL.

i mean, if you can't get fuck.ing/cool, you can go with reallyfuck.ing/cool or getsurf.ing gosurf.ing learnsurf.ing or justhang.ing/out etc I think I'm at my limit of dumb domain names for no reason though, so I'll pass on this round.

Reallyfuckingcool.net or .org available, same for getsurfing, learnsurfing and justhangingout. With all these domains there’s no real point unless you are getting a dictionary word or a specific name, imho.

but do they have fuckof\f.ing for submitting complaints? Edit: HN doesn't accept FO as one word, it replaces the last `f` with `i`. Try it yourself.

Is this just a trick to see how many people you can get to type 'fuckoff'? :-)

Let me test it again...

Edit: No I swear, when I typed fuckingoff.ing and post the comment it shows as fuckingofi.ing to me. I edited the post a dozen of times and it always displayed something else. I tested it even on two browsers!

Mobile app is already first class citizen at ING in some EU countries. One is unable to make transactions or even is locked out completely from all online channels after losing access to their mobile app, or if their app simply stops responding on tapping the "Confirm" button. Web is merely second class citizen. No idea how they arrived to this retarded architectue. Submitting any kind of architectural feedback to a…

> No idea how they arrived to this retarded architecture 2FA is known to increase security drastically. It's easy to understand why it's a good idea. EU banks in particular do this because 2FA for banks is mandated by a EU level directive. > Submitting any kind of architectural feedback to a bank is hopeless and helpless, these fuckers always know better. In this case they clearly do.

In at least one EU country the only available free of charge second factor of 2FA at ING is their FULL MOBILE BANKING APP. You're posting a comment at HN explaining that "mobile banking app is 2FA because security because EU", are you working there?

I checked for cod.ing and they said it was available. I got my hopes up and went to Godaddy. It costs over $38,000. I guess in some ways that’s good because the purchaser would more likely be someone who wants to launch a legit business or project rather than a squatter. But as others have pointed out, this whole thing is a blatant money grab.

Conspiracy theory here: if you go to a big player like GoDaddy they'll sell their queries and some party will see the domain you want and squat it unless you register right away. Just use the whois command in your terminal.

They claim they don’t but you know they ABSOLUTELY DO
