Im not a crypto person, but I was intrigued by Chia. They generate their coins based on allocating disk space. So if you have a bit of free space, you can fill it with plots and play the lotto. The intriguing part is that I think it works

I think this is going on my list of things I want to try. I have some feedback, but need to qualify it with a warning that I've barely used any AI beyond simple chat bots. This is going to be the opposite of the feedback that silents

I wonder how it works and how much heavy lifting "supervising" is doing. Whenever I try to use AI, the outcome is about the same. It's good at non-critical things like logging or brute force debugging where I can roll back a

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on having a PWA vs regular mobile apps since it looks like you started with a PWA, but are moving to regular apps. Is that just a demand / eyeballs thing or were there technical reasons?

The exact pricing isn’t disclosed. All they do is tell you the price will be “higher”. Anyone registering a premium domain is getting higher than uniform renewal pricing, so whatever they’re doing right now is considered adequate and that

It's going to be interesting to see what they do. One of the core arguments when claiming the domain industry enjoys a competitive market is that switching costs are bearable and that switching TLDs is an option if registries increase

I think that once you have domains as an identity, you can solve a lot of problems with the idea of 'just add money'. If $1000 gets me a gold check mark, it changes the economics of impersonation. Is it worth it to spend $1000 t

The platform owners have spent two decades de-emphasizing domains, so it's not too surprising that most people struggle to understand how they work. I think that can change with education and awareness if domains as identity start to

You can see the same thing starting to happen in the domain industry. Registries are buying pricing data rather than setting their own prices, so high-value keywords end up having the same price across TLDs that should be competing with ea

Wow. I can honestly say I'm surprised it makes that suggestion. That's great! I don't understand how it gets there though. How does it "know" that's the right thing to suggest when the majority of the online

I think first year premium pricing makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure what the average time to sell is for a domain investor, but say it's 10 years for an easy example. If you go from a standard registration price of $12 / y

It's the registries not the registrars that classify some domains as premium. I think they're a risky product because you don't even get the limited price protections provided by section 2.10c of the registry agreement,

Yeah, if the commit record acts like an audit log I think there’s a lot of value. I wonder how hard it is to get the exact environment used to build an artifact. I’m a big fan of this style [1] of building base containers and think that ke

If you want a simple example of how important good regulators are, look at the NTIA / DoC's handling of the .com cooperative agreement in 2018. The US gave up control of the most important technical asset on the planet and no one

If you really want to get upset, go look what the NTIA did with the 2018 renewal of the .com agreement. Prior to 2018, the US DoC had a significant amount of oversight and control. The 2018 renewal pretty much gave .com to Verisign. The

GP is referring to the registry , not the registrar . There's lots of competition between registrars, but the registries have a post-sale monopoly on all domains. Put another way, as soon as you register a .com domain, the only re
