Amongst other problems, that limits TLDs to 6 characters, which is about 16 characters shy of the longest TLD right now in the DNS root zone: https://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt Add to that the fact it w

I find it intriguing that the same article manages to spell her last name Wojcocki (5x), Wojcicki (2x), Wojciki (1x) and Wojocki (1x). It would appear of 9 references, her name is spelled correctly only twice. Perhaps there is an opportunit

ICANN is not in a position to mandate such requirements for ccTLDs as they are not empowered to. ccTLD governance differs from gTLDs in that each country code is managed and overseen locally within the country. This is why there is such a d

The IAB put out a statement “Dotless Domains Considered Harmful” that explains some of the risks if ICANN changed the rules to allow them. As it stands, they were already prohibited and this resolution reaffirms that. http://www.

Well, sure, just like I can create my invented domain name like hacker.news and use my own IP addresse 1.2.3.4 without being allocated them. The Internet interoperates by everyone agreeing to follow the same agreed conventions, but there is

It only implements a subset of DNS functionality, so I'd argue its giving a false sense of security and false negatives. mailtest@пример.испытание fails, for example, even though it is a valid email address.

If you are using the .COM zone data (note this is different from the root data), then it is an incomplete list of all the TLDs that are registered. It is only a list of domains that have been delegated.

IANA blocked registration of most of them under gTLDs (.COM, .NET, etc.) in 1993, on the thought they may be useful to support extensibility of the DNS down the track. Country-code operators have typically followed that lead as good practic

It is probably worth noting the latest version of the IDN protocol (RFC 5891) makes this URL illegal. It will only work with implementations that use the earlier deprecated version (RFC 3490).

That is some terrible revisionist history. .com, .net, .gov etc. were the first TLDs created in the early 1980s (when the DNS was invented, before ICANN existed). Only later in the mid 1980s were country codes added to the repertoire, and e

This map would be more useful if instead of each bus being represented by a nondescript MUNI logo, that it was an icon that contained the route number. As it stands it appears the only way to get useful information is to hover over each log

The article states "law is perhaps the only field where being a pessimist is actually an advantage", but I actually find this is an attribute that programmers and lawyers share. In developing code, one is always trying to think of all the p

Yes, it is "THAI CHARACTER KO KAI" (U+0E01), plus 20 occurrences of the non-spacing mark "THAI CHARACTER THAI CHARACTER MAITAIKHU" (U+0E47).

It seems to me to be a cop-out to suggest you can't have good public transport in a low density area. I come from the city of Perth in Australia which is very sparse and it has managed to create a very good intermodal system with light-rail

I noticed a bug in another tool today, caused by the week-of-the-year value returned by strftime() returning '00' until the 6th. Possibly related?

This list is out of date - it contains strings that have already been withdrawn by the applicant. The accurate list, including status, and the prioritization order (the order they'll be added if successful), is at: http://gtldresult.icann.

I find this mentality, one I've often found in the US, disturbing. I've had the benefit of living the better part of a decade in Europe where data privacy protections are stronger, and there is a resulting expectation that companies can onl

That is because Donuts applied for its gTLDs through a number of LLCs with names like "Delta Mill, LLC" and "Snow Sky, LLC". You can find a great many of them objected to.

If you have a routing issue, whether it is due to "corruption" or misconfiguration, having some of your name servers on an entirely different network (i.e. a different AS) with a different routing policy is not going to be affected.

The DNS is designed to provide resiliency to these kinds of problems by providing the ability to list multiple NS records located in different networks. It is standard practice for top-level domain operators and other high-activity domains

That is not correct. For example, Mozilla takes a white list approach where they add TLDs that have registration policies that limit the risk of phishing (which is most of them). http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/tld-idn-policy-list

One of the common refrains from this is that it is a money grab by ICANN, but all ICANN is doing is implementing a multi-stakeholder consensus policy that was ratified by the various community groups 5 years ago, and doing so on a cost-reco

It would have more utility if in the search box you could type the RFC/BCP/STD number, e.g. "1591" or "STD 3". Unfortunately every RFC I tried, except for the provided examples, returned "Could not prettify this RFC".

Isn't the issue, then, that you shouldn't be put in jail for such offences, rather than making arguments concerning strip searching?
