How long until Google will start removing domains that don't fit their "values"?
Surprise! Pretty much every provider has a terms of service.

I mean, I get your point, but I think this is a meme exclusive to HN. Other than Google Reader, there really isn't much Google has shut down without having a newer, better product you can transition to. When it comes to something like this (AKA not a consumer product, makes money, relatively easy to run, etc), I genuinely can't see them shutting down a TLD like this. If anything, the complaint should be the lack of o…

Somebody makes this post on every HN thread involving Google now. But the three big public deprecations I'm aware of are Reader, Inbox, and G+. All consumer products. All the other stuff on that killed by Google site is stuff I've barely even heard of, and all consumer products. To my knowledge, no major GCP component has ever been deprecated. Am I missing something? This seems like it has just become a groupthink HN…
You haven't been watching long enough https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/deprecations/
Most of those sound like "you have to upgrade to the latest version"?

#104What will you build on .dev? A site so broken that it still has a horizontal scrollbar no matter how wide the browser window.

#105Does anyone know how the “premium” renewal prices are set and governed? I’m going through this right now with .app domains (also owned by Google). Apparently domains categorized as “premium” have a much higher yearly pricing, and how it’s priced is not specified anywhere on the registry website. I called a few registrars and they said that the premium pricing is set by the registry. What’s concerning is that the regi…
You could try transferring your domain to another registrar if you feel like you're getting gouged

Every year google deprecates at least one "cloud" service/api. Not to mention the appengine pricing story.
The famous app engine pricing increase happened when app engine left preview. People still mention it often, but it was never meant for production usage while at the preview price.

#107> You can purchase an SSL certificate through one of our web partners or a Certificate Authority. Read this article to learn more. Really? No mention of Lets Encrypt? Does anyone still buy certificates nowadays, especially for dev sites?
They explicitly mention letsencrypt as a free provider when you click the "Read this article" link.
It's not like they made any effort to make it visible, though. And "purchase" implies that the options they present are non-free.
Which is interesting, I would expect Google to promote Lets Encrypt... Or do they assume devs already know about it?
Re: Google .dev domain early access
#108I hope they fail.
Google forced me to migrate my local .dev domains to .devo because Chrome refused to connect to my localy configured domain names via /etc/hosts.
Re: Google .dev domain early access
#109A domain just for developers! Until it abruptly shuts down Feb 19, 2021. Why would anyone trust Google with something with any kind of long-term requirements as important as a name? They should have registered ".chump" instead, because that is really what users of a Google-managed TLD are declaring "Dear VALUED developer, thanks so much for being a part of the .dev experiment! After a long hard period of staring at o…

It's not like these complainers actually read articles they're commenting on. You could see this in the Chromecast DNS rantfest - the path is "Google in title => rant about your pet peeve" not "Read article => complain about topical thing".
