I don't think most users care much one way or the other. But they do sometimes lose their credentials and need a password reset and if the reset flow assumes you'll be able to answer those questions anyway, you're going to ha

Residential telephone service doesn’t have ads but the government scooped up the metadata of who you’re calling and who called you just the same.

"Delta Dental" is actually 39 different affiliated companies sharing a brand. Of those 38 seem to be unaffected.

Sure but I don't think it's going to happen here. We actually need new laws, and the people with the money agree

Yeah, that sucks but it is the current state of the world. Trademark registration would help. You're going to walk around calling your local construction company "bobbuilder.com"? That's a weird vibe for a business that

It's not though. Musk writes it as a single stylized letter and the company name is "X Corp" not "X.com"

".com" looks professional and, more importantly, it very clearly communicates "this is a website address." If it were "bobbuilder.services" it could be a website, but maybe it's an instagram handle or som

People just google “bob builder” anyway. Domain doesn’t matter so much.

Similar bills have already passed legal challenges https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/eighth-circuit-upholds-... I think it's a bad law and he's making a big mistake. I'm still a fan though.

That's not the same thing. This isn't about foreign government demands, it's about US states being legally able to discriminate against contractors who participate in BDS. (Edit: in fact it's about contractors who refuse

It's unfair that registrars can abuse their position to pick up valuable dropped domains. But somebody was going to do it in the moment after they drop if not them. That feels like a different and less serious problem.
