A very similarly named startup that seeks to help college students find their first opportunities https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/handshake-2 Meanwhile, the claims on this website: > Email became Gmail, usenet became reddit, blog replies became facebook and Medium, pingbacks became twitter, squid became Cloudflare, even gnutella became The Pirate Bay While not even accurate, these centralized services became…

Sadly namecheap bought into this, so it’s being forced down the throats of people who don’t quite realize that the domains they can buy on the service can not, and will not ever be usable. It’s pretty obvious to even the most casual of observers that this is just yet another cryptocurrency scheme designed to fleece as many people as possible.
Why would you say sadly? This is right up Namecheap's alley. Tip: find a phishing domain -- either SMS or via some search -- and check the WHOIS. It's always the same registrar. Then try to report it and see how it goes.
The problem they'll have is more and more TLDs are colluding with ICANN's, and Handshake chose to sell "TLDs", plus it is a proof of work blockchain. Dappy has a .d scoping at the top to avoid collisions, POS blockchain behind it, a co-resolution system (IP addresses and root certificates are always co-resolved), and it allows multi-ownership of names. Worth checking out https://dappy.tech/
Did you mean colliding, as in overlapping? Colluding is cooperating in a secret/unlawful way.
The person who forced themselves into ownership of freenode is closely associated with this dumpster fire.

Except that the examples I listed after more than 10 years of operation, especially the use of Deep Learning and training on tons of new data, have NO efficient alternatives, and still require tons of data centers to the point where some of them literally caught fire and their use is worse for society. Unless you want more surveillance, spyware, etc who would be happy with that? The end result to all that wasteful tr…
It's pointless to counter a fallacy.
Trying to pretend machine learning and Bitcoin are of equal uselessness is dishonest.
If I could change one thing about root replacement, it would be for a more efficient use of the hierarchical structure of the DNS. The attempt to cram everything into a namespace that is mostly flat is, in my opinion, essentially intractable.
I think name servers is one of the best applications for a decentralized ledger. It _can_ work without a central party, and I think it might be better without one. Something like .org controversy might not have happened without a central party.
> Email became Gmail, usenet became reddit, blog replies became facebook and Medium, pingbacks became twitter, squid became Cloudflare, even gnutella became The Pirate Bay How is that even remotely related to creating a new domain name service? Does the author really believe in good faith that the centralization of platforms would somehow be reduced or disappear entirely by introducing a new domain name service? This…
