I do see your point, and agree there. I initially (perhaps mistakenly) read larme's comment as "everything coded in javascript is a waste."

I will say, though, that exploring the possibilities for a language is not a waste of time or mind. From stretching both mind and tool to do new things, new insight can be gained or patterns formed that might never have been considered.

Additionally, nobody ever said an OS has to be the best at everything either. It could be that a javascript-based OS, while perhaps not as efficient at generating machine code, may end up being much more efficient for humans. This would certainly be a win for many tasks such as management that should be optimized for human use.
The Net Neutrality 'debate' is an example of politics I'm beginning to see all the time in the United States. A real problem is presented along with a single problematic solution from which voters, with as much or little influence they actually have, and their representatives are asked to select the 'lesser of two evils'.

The real discussion is not whether the country's big media duopoly should be forced to conduct their business model like a public utility or not, but whether a duopoly is healthy at all. If communication infrastructure requires few large investors and centralized ownership it is a natural monopoly and should be managed as such (and in fact resold on a market of small service providers a la the UK's internet and American power). If it does not, let anti-trust law hammers fall. Comcast and Time Warner consistently collect the very worst consumer reviews (Comcast was the worst of all corporations for year running). They are both larger and more predatory than Ma Bell was leading up to 1984.
I always have a hard time understanding why price is such a motivator for people in domain registration, when we're talking about differences of a few dollars a year, and when a bad registrar can screw you over royally. I mean, sure, if you have thousands of domains, it matters. But if you have a handful, isn't it worth paying a bit more if needed to get a better registrar? Not really aiming this directly at the parent; it's just that it seems like price is the main thing that ends up being discussed every time this topic comes up.

None of Google Domain's features are novel. In fact the article spent most of its time talking about an up-sell. Which isn't to say Google Domain isn't a good product, just that we now should look at price because nothing else seems interesting...

~ Google Domains charges $12/year for .COM, .NET, .ORG.

~ NameCheap charges $10.69/year for .COM, $11.98/year for .NET, and $11.48/year for .ORG. Sometimes with an 18c/year fee tacked on.

~ GoDaddy charges $12.99-13.99 for a .COM but that might increase randomly because they're scumbags.

So my point is that this article claims that everyone is "rushing" to this new product, and while this product doesn't seem "bad" it also isn't exactly market changing. The prices are well within 10% of the market (sometimes higher, sometimes lower) and the features are pretty generic also.

Can someone explain why Google Domains is compelling and not a "me too!" product?
Would they, though? I listen to a lot of different music, but I also create playlists that I listen to most of the time. As an example let's take the average user that listens primarily to the top 40 hits and a few select albums from those artists. In one month how many new songs would they listen to on average? 10? 15? Framed this way, a dollar does seem too high, but not by much. I think $0.40-$0.50 per song would be profitable, but that's just a guess.
Thanks WMF. I was looking for a service that would have this as an API or infrastructure behind it. I would rather not have to build out something entirely from scratch.
Show HN: Capian – Make better UX evaluations faster
I have. It is like an animated movie. Very pretty, but while the mechanics could be deep, I felt that the levels themselves were not. Unlike for example Braid or recently The Swapper, there were no epiphanies, just “rotate all the things and try to tap on the correct tile”.

Maybe I shouldn’t have expected a puzzle game, but this sort of space bending would really lend itself to more interesting problems to solve.
They're are already a certificate authority (they issue their own certs for google.com, etc.) and do lots of interesting "tricks" like only issuing them for 3 months at a time so they can roll them over faster as things like SHA1 get deprecated.
Towards a better console – PSReadLine for PowerShell
Learn to say "no". I have a company that I managed. In the company I was the "boss", but my boss was our customers. You need to say no to customers often.

Before learning to say no life was miserable. After I did it was heaven. Learn to say reasonable noes to your customers, to your upper managers, to your partner,to your kids, and your life will be much better.

Forget the advice of that stupid blog. You should not always support upper management, you are not a drone. If you work in the army and they tell you to kill every civilian inside a village, you must say no.

When upper management wants to do something that is stupid and you will have to support and be responsible for it, you should say no(after you double proof that it is not you who is wrong).

Get a mentor you respect and admire. Create a mastermind of the best managers you could find. You will discover management is not what you think it is(or better said, it does not have to be that way).
+1. As much as I like the idea of managing everything from one place, Google's propensity to have crap-tier support and their other propensity to drop services with little warning means I've got no desire to even try this.

I've been using this for a few months now and it's been great. The cool thing is that they allow you to solve the problem of having domain emails pointing to your personal emails so for example blahblah@joeblau.com -> josephblaus@gmail.com. The only challenge with this is that I use Cloudflare as my CDN and Google's email redirects work if you use Google's nameservers.
I'll stick with Name.com and free whois privacy.
I've been using name.com for a while. Been ok so far (and way better than godaddy).

Private registration usually costs extra, but not with Google domains. That is a compelling reason to me. I also like the clean interface, some of the other vendors have horrible interfaces.
Not to mention that the "gimmick" is taken from a couple of M.C. Escher prints.

Gamers are easy to impress, I suppose.
I found the console way better than Gandi, that I was using before. A few other integrations are simpler and quicker, such as creating email forwards. It seems also really well integrated with Google Cloud, but that's only relatively useful :)

Edit: oh, and it's fast to update, especially if you use Google as DNS server as I do.
If it is automatic (meaning you don't have to manually define the ranges)+ ranges can split/join, then probably yes.
>"Treating them as such", maybe not

Well, I think, practically speaking, it would be exceedingly difficult to think someone an idiot or outright insane, yet not have that impact the way we treat them.

And, it would be hard to separate a belief to which someone adheres his/her life from that person; and instead just judge that belief insane without judging the person the same.

More specifically, I think the degree to which we can separate the two are based on people's apparent adherence to their beliefs. So, the more they veil their beliefs, the more acceptable they are in the eyes of others who don't share them and would otherwise think them insane.

So, again, I don't think this is true tolerance.

Google has the worst customer support I have ever seen.

I once had to transfer a domain for a client that Google had registered with Godaddy. Google blamed Godaddy and Godaddy blamed Google. What a nightmare.
> "You're going to jump through our hoops and do what we say, because we're Google and we're totally awesome and we can take you or leave you."

I've met more than my fair share of the Googlers that exhibit an air of arrogance, but are you sure their hoops aren't just Google's standard interview process?

Google has stated their interview process is designed to produce very few false positives, accepting that false negatives are a necessary by-product.

I believe when you add whois guard to NameCheap, it actually comes out a little more than Google Domains, which I think offers free private registration.
By being the one approached by the recruiter, and not approaching the recruiter yourself, you are in the power position by default. You are being pursued and coveted, and that doesn't change if you admit to being open to a change of job.
They normally have a complete lack of presence in terms of support options, but at least this time they list some:

The “Sellin’ Homes” Real Estate Rap. Do You Love It or Hate It?
I have a manager precisely because I need to not know everything my work impacts; my head is full enough with what I'm doing to make this app work without pursuing perfect knowledge of how coworkers, customers, sales, marketing, investors, etc all fit in with decisions. I may be directed to do "not the right thing" not because someone is stupid, but because I don't know (and don't need to know) some of the interactions & consequences of doing it (say, spending another day refining a process means good chance of losing a potential major customer).

"We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!" - Douglas Adams, H2G2
It seems like the issue is that regulated utilities are not really private companies, though we like to pretend they are. The segment of Verizon that provides voice service is effectively a government agency, and if they make money, the rest of the company is not allowed to use it for something else. I'm a pretty free-market guy, but this seems worse than having phone service just be publicly run. This is the worst of both worlds.
This might be what you're looking for..

Find Your (perfect) TLD with This: New TLD List
My own interview process was pretty delightful (which is a good part of why I ended up working there), but when I have referred friends or even been an interviewer, I've seen stuff that's so sloppy and disrespectful that I started adopting a "friends don't refer friends to work at Google" policy.

I suspect it may've been because I was hired at the bottom of the 2009 recession, right around when they fired all the temps and all the permanent recruiters were fearful of their jobs and there were virtually no other candidates in the pipeline, while folks who applied in 2007 or 2011-2012 when it was much busier got a terrible experience.
So when somebody steals your domain, do you actually get to talk to a person at Google to help resolve the matter, or is it like every other customer service experience they offer?
> Any who deny the basic correctness of microecon 101 are so far lost to me that any discussion between us is pretty much useless.

Really? I seem to remember learning in micro that "minimum wage causes unemployment" and then years later finding out what that model was based on, i.e. you must assume a healthy market clearing process exists, wages aren't sticky, labor is liquid, perfect information, no market power, etc.

Physics 101 on the other hand has "basic correctness" in the sense that within reason (like if you're well under the speed of light and much larger than an electron) it's an accurate description of reality. But finding a low-end labor market where minimum wage is even the main cause of unemployment seems next to impossible.

> The cool thing is that they allow you to solve the problem of having domain emails pointing to your personal emails so for example blahblah@joeblau.com -> josephblaus@gmail.com

Am I missing something...? I didn't realise this was a problem - I've never used a domain provider that doesn't let you do this. I currently use Namecheap, which certainly do.
You mischaracterised my point. Go is hardly the baseline for language simplicity. We just made a different set of trade offs to the Rust team, and I believe Go is the simpler (not simplest) language.
Now that the site is struggling, and I can't look it up... is there a follow-up to that post, or is that how far you got?
Seriously? I'm surprised to see you of all people write that. No DNSSEC is a feature, not a bug.
I even tried applying to jobs that are shown in https://weworkremotely.com/ and since they post there, one would think that they accept remote work, but no.

They all reply the same fucking thing: "Are you willing to relocate", "We are looking for onsite people now", etc.

So tired of this.
Productivity Bundle: Subscriptions to Evernote, Pocket, Wunderlist and LastPass
One of the headaches of setting up a domain is getting the email sorted correctly. Instant integration to Gmail is a nice feature.

If you want privacy protection on your whois lookups, then Google would be cheaper than the other providers, as they sell it as an add-on.

I also trust Google to have speedy DNS servers, if you're leaving the defaults in place. GoDaddy's DNS can be quite slow.

Perhaps not a "mind-blowing" product, but one I'd consider using.
Private registration has always been free at gandi.net. Also they do not suck.

Googler #1 doesn’t do M&A for [Famous Named Googler]. She’s just a recruiter for Googler #2, whom she knew from the outset.

This seems like a risky tactic. [Famous Named Googler] probably doesn't like [low level recruiters] misrepresenting their relationship with him/her.

+1 Shitty Google support is the reason I won't even consider this as an option for my domains
I was doing that when I was a engineer. Work around their crappy ideas. My idea was that I could openly disagree with them, when I was on a higher position. But seem's I was wrong :)

Well, in the end I packed my things and left.
With first hand experience:

- if you are paying google on an ongoing basis for something (adwords for example) they are very pro active with support.

- if you are using a free product, expect 0 or less support

- if you are receiving money from google, expect active hostility.
Even after a good night's sleep, I'm happy I decided to post this comment. The people hiding behind their karma scores to downvote perfectly legitimate and contextually relevant comments are one of the most frustrating and annoying things about Hacker News.
The best feature is that it's not GoDaddy, or NameCheap. Having registered hundreds of domains, dealt with all kinds of customer service and had to perform numerous operations for my domains the user experience matters and though Google hasn't has the best track record with UX they certainly do invest in it more heavily than GoDaddy & NameCheap.
This looks like a great tool!

I've been working on that topic too in the last year. I developed Capian (http://capian.co), a tool to help usability professionals make better heuristic evaluations faster.

I'm a full-stack developer and my partner is a UX designer. There's a lot of missing tools in our space. Great to see other people trying to address them!

I've been using Namecheap consistently for more than 8 years, in combination with Gandi. Never had any issues.

Recently, I had to contact support for a failed payment (obscure domain extension, some address verification error), and the experience was great. I got it fixed in less than 5 minutes by contacting their live support.

Will keep using them. Their name doesn't do them justice, they are an A player in the domain space.
This article is simply cromulent.
Before Panda and Penguin, you would have been right to expect a huge SEO benefit. But Google has gotten pretty smart. Their algorithm doesn't consider that "designed by" link to be that important. And neither does the OP, actually, since they expected no traffic from it by their own admission.

How SEO works has changed from what the OP believed it to be.

Why bother? DNSSEC is hardly useful in real life anyway.
There is tons of old research that just hasn't been put in practice. There are 3 major desktop OSes, and they all adopt 80's view on security i.e. security is mainly about separating users and not necessarily about separating applications.

a) I'd like all applications to be run in sandboxes. That way you don't have to care if you application has malware or its processes got hacked. You have that in iOS I believe (but iOS has other problems), but to various degrees it's been done in solaris and freebsd, probably can be hacked in linux but no major distro has it as a precooked solution.

b) Have OS written in memory safe language. Microsoft got Singularity, I have no idea why that never saw the light of day. That thing could kill Linux on a large portion of the server market. Hopefully we will get something written in Rust now.

How exactly does a private company generate the hashs/"PhotoDNA" of all these child porn images? Are they granted some sort of kiddie-porn-license? More importantly, where do they get a hold of all of these images? Is there some sort of government database that they are given access to?

If such a database exists, could you imagine the public outrage that would result if someone hacked/leaked it? I bet there are a bunch of images that only a handful of people ever had access to documented by our government...
I am very jealous! I have a blog about cocktails and am trying to do every recipe in that book at home. I can't wait to do the LN stuff. I just have to talk Praxair into delivering it to me so I can buy a handful of thermoses rather than a $1,500 dewar. (And god knows how I'm going to get my hands on a food-safe rotovap.) I was even thinking about loading it into a cooler with a spigot on the side.

The cryo-garnishing is cool! I've seen the end result at Aviary. Most of them you wait to thaw anyway. Like separating the citrus or berries into vessicles. Just wait until they aren't hard anymore and then top the drink with them.
they do include private whois, and X subdomains for your domain, X emails available... but game changing would include SSL for all, or free hosting from your google drive - even if it was just static content.

it's a classic google "me too" project. i always get the feeling a lot of google projects come up because someone somewhere is going to be in a high level meeting with execs, and one exec sees something interesting and asks "why aren't we doing this?" and then someone gets to chime in "we already are!" and then they check the box for DONE and never look back.
