Ask HN: What impacts will the new tld domains have for software?

3 pointspalidanx4 comments

When reading the news of a new tld's coming out, I was wondering if anyone knew of any impacts this might have for software.

For example, I know some legacy code for e-mail validation rejects if it doesn't meet the standard TLDs. Are there any other things people can bring to light?

Yeah, I encountered this problem after registering butt.ventures... I always wanted a butt domain :(

The last version of Chrome I got, didn't recognize it as a domain, but the current one does.

I probably shouldn't try to conduct online banking with those email addresses.

Ah, but a useful host for anyone in the cloud.

loseyourmoney@butt.ventures wasn't the best mail address for this, I gues ;(
