Yeah cause we really had to improve domain squatters lives. In my opinion domain squatting should be banned instead.
Nice! I just implemented it for my portfolio [0], and I'm waiting for the DNS zones to update! Thank you! [0]: https://namegarage.com
Were you able to sell any domains before? Especially with those prices, considering their quality? Or is this just a placeholder site made with ai with made-up numbers?
Something I've wondered... if you publicly say that a domain is for sale and someone has a trademark for it would you automatically lose in arbitration? Around 1998 I registered a domain. Sony registered a trademark with the same name a few years after that. Someone on a Gmail account asked if he could buy it - I later found out he worked for Sony. I told him no - it's for a game I've been working on. I went on a vac…

Hah. Just now I was reading about how Sony hated Michael Jackson because he owned half of the music licenses, and some say Sony might be been involved in his demise. My point being, maybe Sony is not a nice company.

This website has been trying to gain a veneer of legitimacy for months now. Half of its contents aren't even published by any real standards body, it's just AI-centric "best practices" for the current generation of hyperscaler models.
That’s not true at all. Do you know who Joost de Valk is? Because it’s wild for you to say that, truly. That man has probably been building websites for longer than you have been alive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joost_de_Valk

For me, these terms are synonymous.
They need Georgism for DNS names. You set your own price for your domain. But you have to pay 2-5% of that price annually to keep it. That way, squatters are incentived to sell it to someone who's going to use it.
Pay 2-5% to who? That's the problem for me - usually this means just another way to expand government. If you would just distribute it equally to all relevant citizens, with none of it going to the government, then I might get on board.
Ironically, this approach would give power to an entity that decides who is relevant and who becomes a citizen, which is the government.

Sony have always been Disney-esque in their legal aggression. They don't care if they're right, they have teams of lawyers and they're quite happy to sic them on any tiny thing because they know you can't fight back even if you wanted to.

My personal website is a "low quality blog" but I definitely feel that it shouldn't be up for grabs because I don't want to pay thousands of dollars a year.
A "vacant plot" in this context might be example.ccTLD not being associated with a sufficiently large share of Example Ltd taxable income declared in CC, or some 3rd country maintaining suitable double-taxation treaties with CC. (While in the same interval not having their registry lock in forfeiture of voluntary ownership transfers, in order to qualify for some appropriately scoped "currently no commercial intent /…

Domain names are a mess in my opinion. Even though we have over a thousand TLDs only a very small handful are considered for commerce or even thought to be valid. I have a domain name with the TLD of "today". Many people think my email is [email]@[domain].today.com. It's not just the common person's fault but also software engineers / product managers who still have a very restrictive view of what a TLD is (under 3 t…
> I have a domain name with the TLD of "today". I don't like the pollution of the global namespace. If someone thinks, there should be a domain named today, fine, but don't put it in the global namespace by creating a new TLD. DNS is a hierarchical structure, there is no reason domains should all be only 4 segments long. Arguable 'com.' should have really been 'com.us.', but that's history.
