> I'm slowly starting to suspect that maybe having human-readable names for domains is a mistake.

Not sure given how successful busineses have been with their web identities how you can say that.

> There would be some awful challenges if we got rid of the human-readable part of domains but the benefits of moving to something like a unique hash or key instead

I don't get the point of making a statement like that. It's like saying 'get rid of cars and the benefits will be'.

You know it's a complete non starter because given how things are it can't happen in the short future. We can't even get rid of spam phone calls for god sake. That is almost simple by comparison to 'eliminating human readable parts of domains'
