@bhawthorne seems like a block list of machine-generated domains would be a very useful thing to have to improve the speed and quality of online searches

@johncormier I think a human curated list of human-generated domains would be easier, since the vast majority of websites are machine-generated. A WikiWeb as it were.

@bhawthorne agree that the set of human-generated domains would be shorter. Problem is, I suspect it’s much easier to identify machine-generated domains than human-generated ones, since they stand out for various reasons.

@johncormier Yes, but easier is not necessarily better. Easier is what has led us down this garden path.
