> who cares what the letters alternatively stand for?
Lots of people, in fact the letters don’t even need to stand for anything they just become part of SV tech culture and spread from there. For example look at all the tech companies that utilize .io without any real reason. Or from an eastern perspective .cc (cocoa island) has become popular in China because 1. simplicity and 2. repetition is culturally meaningful.
- capableweb 5y ago.io comes from I/O. .ly (Libya) fits as a better example.

- throwawaycities 5y agoBut I/O is SV culturally derived secondary meaning to .io (British Indian Ocean Territory), there is no reason to have ascribed it. At least with .ly people are incorporating the ly as part of the name like when people register a .in (India) for their cryptocoin project [name]co.in
- riffic 5y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io .io is assigned to the British Indian Ocean Territory The point I was trying to make above ("who cares...") is that you can use any domain you want! You don't need to use a specific ccTLD (.ml would be the example I was referencing) in order to insinuate your machine learning applications.
