Google Launches New .dev TLD (betanews.com)

Google Registry today announced .dev, a brand new top-level domain (TLD) that's dedicated to developers and technology. From a report: The new .dev TLD comes after the company launched .app and .page, all are protected by HTTPS. Google has already used the TLD for a few of its own projects, such as web.dev and opensource.dev, but now it is being opened up to a wider audience. If you are interested in securing yourself a .dev domain, you can register through the Early Access Program.

      5. Schabouth Hag. 6d: "Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording."

      6. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Do not save Goyim in danger of death."

      7. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Show no mercy to the Goyim."

      8. Choschen Hamm 388, 15: "If it can be proven that someone has given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth."

      9. Choschen Hamm 266,1: "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile). For he who returns lost property (to Gentiles) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honor the name of God, namely, if by so doing, Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honorable people."

      10. Szaaloth-Utszabot, The Book of Jore Dia 17: "A Jew should and must make a false oath when the Goyim asks if our books contain anything against them."

      11. Baba Necia 114, 6: "The Jews are human beings, but the nations of the world are not human beings but beasts."

      12. Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D: "When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves."

      13. Nidrasch Talpioth, p. 225-L: "Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night."

      14. Aboda Sarah 37a: "A Gentile girl who is three years old can be violated."

    Like Google, we used ".DEV" internally to refer to our development servers.

It wouldn't even check the local DNS, which WOULD resolve, because ".dev belongs to Google!"

      I think all of these new TLDs have to be at least three characters, and ".dv" is not a valid country code, so you could change to use that. It's also one less character to type. I don't think anyone is allowed to register a TLD with hyphens (there might be an exception for xn-- style internationalized names), so ".d-v" could also be valid and safe.

      It's unfortunate that you can't start or end a domain name part with a hyphen (I checked RFC1035) or you could do some cool things with a TLD of a single hyphen "-", including ASCII Morse code shit like "-.-." being the letter C, using the "-" TLD, and the final dot merely enforces it being the "-" TLD.
