Speaking of Domain, I am still waiting for .Web. What happen to it?
Looks like it's still proposed, not even delegated. Registrations usually happen a few months after delegation depending on the registry's intentions.

The trend in browsers is being precise about standards and yet only yesterday google took an existing standard and tried to corrupt it. I'm not trying to be snarky and thanks foe answering questions but this particular comment was a non-answer.
It sounded like they were referring to something specific, but didn't provide examples. I want to know exactly what they're worried about so that I can answer the question, but I haven't been given enough to go on. It sounds like they're worried about prices being jacked up by large amounts, but I'm not aware of that even having happened. Absent that, the current prices are what they are; pay them or don't, but you k…

To be honest, TLD business is probably not one of them. Even fi google becomes your competitor, they won't touch the domain.
Agreed, for reasons I don’t know exactly, they even donated duck.com to DuckDuckGo

As a customer, I can't be expected to have a mental model of which Google services come with actual support, and which ones come with Google-it-yourself support. Comparing Google products to Google products should not be comparing apples to oranges. If Google is frustrated with customers assuming they don't support their products, maybe they should support all of their products, not just a select few.
Ask yourself "Do I pay for this Google product?" If the answer is yes, then the product comes with actual support.

Safari is the new IE8. Every web dev I know bitches about it.
Every bad web dev bitches about it. There's nothing about Safari that makes it "the new IE8". Ironically, the very same HN that bemoans every new thing as "why should devs jump onto this shiny new things, just slow down already" criticises Safari for not jumping onto every new thing.

I think they might be referring to Chrome's upcoming use of &targetText= for linking to specific words or paragraphs, which caused some controversy here yesterday. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19168442
What are some good use cases for a .dev domain? For example, .ai for Artificial Intelligence, .io for startups. One thing that comes to my my mind is .dev is good for developer tools and related projects. Any other projects or products that .dev domain can be used for? Thanks!
President Medvedev and Art Lebedev studio come to mind.
I feel like if they're going to force https on .dev domains they should just bundle certs with the domain itself. I like https as much as the next guy but it's simply not necessary in many types of websites (e.g. a website with documentation and third party binary links), and they're not making it as painless as it could be to comply with their own rules
> it's simply not necessary in many types of websites (e.g. a website with documentation and third party binary links) I see debates about HTTPS as being a bit like debates about wearing pants in public. "Technically, if a subway station is empty and the AC is working, you don't have to wear pants." "You don't gain anything by wearing pants in a deserted forest when the weather is nice." "Wearing pants is a lot of wo…
