Last I checked, you’re supposed to chose an abstract concept as your name - Amazon.com, not Books.com. .ing endings make that harder.

Ugh, when I saw the HN headline about this TLD I thought it belonged to ING Group, just like .barclays and .chase belong to their corporate owners. Just shows how suited this TLD is for phishing...
If I were the lawyers at ING, I would be sending Google it cease-and-desist with regards to selling any domains with banking related terms. I actually think they would have a reasonably strong claim.
I’m quite appalled. Pre-order now! Wonderful new TLD! Buy! But, it will cost an extra $1m if you want to do it now. Later than that, pay less but wait longer, and risk losing it. So, pay up or get lost. Can’t afford $1m for a domain? Sorry, bozo, maybe you can have the scraps when the bullies are done eating. This whole business is massive trash. The days of owning your own domain with any kind of nice name are fadin…
I see eat.ing, own.ing, fad.ing and be.ing, th.ing, dy.ing, anyth.ing Plop!

If you could sway people to change the "scary IP DNS settings" you could crush the TLD racket overnight. Change your DNS server to OpenDNS projects like OpenNIC. [0] There is nothing stopping me from running my own .ing tld on my own DNS servers other than the mainstream default ISP configured to the de-facto. It's not illegal. [0] https://www.opennic.org/

Domain registration is the most fascinating interaction between multiple outlooks. There's the true hacker spirit of DNS resolution as a technology. There's the lawful bureaucracy of ICANN shoe-horning the technology into a legal framework. Then there's the capitalism of registry "operators" who appear to exist almost solely to navigate ICANN. It really feels like there ought to be a better system.
domains are almost as Lindy (a concept that explains the longevity of things like ideas or technology) as circuit switched telephone numbers. We're not going to shake the concept away for a very long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_number

> 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.
There are lots of options for 2FA that don't require me to install a bloated and buggy app that only supports one bank.
Meanwhile Namecheap just launched .bot tld today, that I think is frankly, quite cool. https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?doma...
Very sure .bot has existed for some years (6?) now.
