Go has larger ecosystem of libraries for building web servers. You have FrankenPHP for running PHP, Lego for automatic TLS, etc.
For Rust there is `tokio-rustls-acme` crate (used by Ferron) for automatic TLS. While for PHP there is a `php` crate that depends on unsupported PHP version. Ferron uses FastCGI for communicating with PHP-FPM daemon instead.
However, Go uses a garbage collector, unlike Rust, which has a borrow checker to ensure memory safety.
Or people won’t want to deal with him, route around the US, and let us drive off the cliff alone.
You've not made an honest negative Google Maps review in Europe yet. I've received a takedown notice with threat of Lawyers.

Also, the UK/French and possibly other governments want to be able to read private messages and have law-enforcement tools made for free for them.

Public Opinion is free to issue in the EU, but doesn't go unpunished. Here an example and long legal battle most of us can't afford this famous talk show moderator had to face due to "Insulting a Majesty", the turkish president.

Don't even think of encryption, governments will request you build in backdoors for them. Social Networking is strictly controlled and locked down in the EU, hard to develop and maintain a product that you as a founder can goto jail for, if your users insult a majesty in some country.

A law had to be "cancelled" to repeal the extradition of Jan Böhmermann into prison in Turkey.

Thank you for this, amazing to see a glimpse into how they come up with the songs!
isn't London still paying more taxes than what's spent there?

though of course it's not surprising, productivity is vastly higher in cities. but that's an argument for allowing and helping them to grow more.

urbanization started many hundreds of years ago, it's nothing new.

in fact, instead of committing to economically (and ecologically) sustainable high-density cities (and withdrawing from the crazy American Dream/Nightmare suburbs)

True, same here. There needs to be a good balance of formal and practical/general information.

Which is possible with domains, even anonymity is possible, with the right registrar.
> The womb-like tissue of endometriosis is able to grow new nerve cells – the cells that transmit pain sensations – and make existing nerve cells more active. The pain signals this sends to the brain are increased even more by inflammation – an overreaction of the immune system. It is this inflammation that could be tackled by dietary changes, experts believe.
There seems to be two kinds of irony here going in two ways, I feel.

The anti-globalists by their actions seem to be creating a reaction which is leading to less global collaborations. Note the title uses the word "Sovereignty". Sovereignty is becoming more important as a reaction against the anti-globalism movement by those who want to support everyone anywhere working together over thin borders between peoples. In other words, isolationism breeds an isolationist reaction. We might see a stronger European identity versus others as a reaction against America's declaration of their identity over others.

Secondly, on an environmental front, we are seeing a move towards the reduction in global trade and travel between nations, and a reduction in developing world pollution as developed nations manufacture more things closer to home. So there's an irony in that the anti-environmentalists are causing a reaction that will help the global environment!
Web forums are not social media, but I can see how they might be confused.

HN is more link aggregator / web forum than what the term social media has come to represent. I will grant you that the term 'social media' literally could cover any media that is social, but that's not historically how it has been applied.

Here there is no algorithmic bubble curated by engagement algorithm. Any attention is managed by the human brain, which is way healthier for the individual as they aren't being manuipulated into addictive engagement and groups as it tends less to form highly refined group think bubbles.

He's right, social media is the a big cause of the current unrest, not something that must be saved.

I would agree that communication platforms should probably not be open to spying or manipulation, but end-to-end encryption goes a long way there. The remaining problem is access being turned off, which can be solved by not relying on government controlled infrastructure (like electricity grid, networks, etc.).

So the person is right. The answer isn't a new site, it is more in person comms as redundancy.
As a Spaniard, I will just wipe down my arse with your 1984-like comment. The least I want it's surveillance, neither from corporations nor from goverments.

That's how you get mafias for free.
His argument is pretty circular, which is e.g. not that Americans would work for Vietnamese wages but that we'd produce automation that can do the same work. But in that case: why aren't we doing that today?

The answer is that it's still more advantageous to pay Vietnam to make our clothes.

It's basically just no free lunch theorem: we can afford the CapEx of doing such a thing today precisely because we have better alternatives. If there were no better alternatives and we had to produce our own garments, we wouldn't be able to afford the CapEx to do it in a dramatically more labor-efficient manner.
Facebook's engagement algorithms directly contributed to the Rohingya massacre in Myanmar[1]. Meta refused to take responsibility and argued that it's up to governments to regulate social media, not Meta. Then they opposed all efforts to regulate them.

People didn't care.

However, the current poop-storm the U.S. has caused is making a lot of people wake up care about precisely this sort of thing. e.g. Canadians have finally realized that being more economically engaged North-South with the U.S. than East-West with other Canadian provinces is a very dumb thing that makes Canada extremely vulnerable to a foreign power that can no longer be relied upon. Measures that have been long viewed as "good ideas" are finally being enacted.

Don't say, "Nobody cares about FOSS alternatives to American social media." They haven't, until now. Now is a unique moment in history and the perfect time to switch.

Social media platforms are online communities. Their biggest asset is not algorithms or servers, but the people using them. What is Facebook or Twitter or Reddit without the users? Nothing. Invest your time and effort in the alternatives now. This is a rare opportunity.

No one cares as long as the end product is worse and doesn't satisfy the users' requirements. If we want people to use non-American alternatives we need to build alternatives that are straight up better, which is exactly what the Chinese managed to do with TikTok.

If costs would be cheap then the owner bought them for cheap as well so wouldn't need to sell for much to make profits.

The deadlock today comes from people needing to sell for much since they are bound up by massive loans, but that could have been avoided.

Obligatory caution that's shared whenever AdNauseam is promoted on HN:

Indiscriminately clicking links to ads on web pages will get you flagged as a bot or for "unusual behavior" and you may start seeing more captchas and things like that as your IP / browsing behavior are flagged.
"counter disinformation, protect democratic integrity, preserve cultural diversity"

So we need a way to censor things we disagree with.
Yeah I don't know either. Thanks to modern medicine, we already have enormous and growing problems with the accumulation of power and wealth in individuals. Currently, death is the only (legal/ethical) check we have on the people who have accumulated so much power that they are above the law. If we remove natural death, how can we ever get out from under the thumb of the uber-powerful? I'd really like to see more thought put into solving these problems before I could be convinced that longevity research is ethical.

Moving from American companies to Chinese ones does not qualify as any progress in the "How much of my online presence do I own" metric.
Could you share which specific UK law using something like this would violate?
This analogy is so thin and your statements are so general that you're basically saying nothing in so many words. We should be critical of new technologies and endeavor to understand how they best suit us. The purported use cases of a spellchecker and an LLM completely differ. Their modalities differ. Their effect differ. Their implications for society differ.

Handwaving away any attempt at analysis and criticism or developing nuance and understanding is even lazier than my original snark comment.

The locomotive is an amazing invention that brought a lot of benefit to society. It also brought the train crash and radical transformation of various other social practices and functions. No technology is simply a "productivity enhancer" and nothing else. They all bring all sorts of new dynamics and unintended consequences.

This sounds like a good time for the masses to demand phones that last 10 to 20 years, have removable batteries this does not affect water proof ratings despite popular belief, have software defined protocols that can be upgraded or removable modules for modem and other devices 4G, 5G, 6G, 7G+ and so on.
well, thank you.

i'm in two minds about how much to share on here.

any suggestions? I'm new to HN and any advice is appreciated
No DM, no need for encryption of messages. All conversation is public. Takedown notices will be from a real company or a real person to another real entity: if they're right, it has to be taken down. If not, not. I mean, the law would be pretty clear on that and if not, that would be a good time to set a precedence.

If Böhmermann wants to publish attacking satire, I guess it would stay up until courts decide otherwise.
Because if you start with characters, much of the token vocabulary would be dedicated to rare Chinese characters right off the bat. If you start from UTF-8 bytes, you can dedicate more token space to common sequences of multiple characters (i.e. words people actually use) and achieve much better compression ratios.
Sounds quite a bit like a container!
Your own source contradicts that claim?
You want to be able to have alts. So if you can easily get as many domains as you want, sure.
Not sure what your position is here. “The left is trying to hold people to account, but that makes them less popular.”?
Who is people and why wouldn't they want to deal with him when they'll at least short term benefit from it?

All those supposed "people" are like your celebrities who promised to leave the country if Trump gets elected. Nobody left.

This is also a good example of a bad strategy from a game theoretic perspective.

They want X and threaten: if I don't get X then I'll do Y which is going to be bad for you and me. They don't get X and think: well, what's the point of sticking to my threat if I lost anyway. And that's a bluff. Trump would do X nonetheless and by that prove he's willing to suffer himself just to make you suffer as well. This is going to be remembered next time he makes a threat.
Yes propaganda is a very real threat and being able to counter it is important.

Of course every platform censors things, it just varies about what is acceptable and what isn't.
You already know the answer. It's not just the US — a midrange iPhone costs three median monthly incomes in my country, and they're massively popular: people buy them on credit and then pay out in installments for 1-3 years. It really is a cult.

Americans can be excused as it's a relatively cheap toy for them. Our people I don't understand.

I do not see the irony as it just isolates the US from the rest of the world. Of course it is a loss for globalization without the US but I don't see that the rest of the world follow the US to isolate itself.
The title refers to the January 6, 2012 episode, beginning about halfway through the article:

> “Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory” is mesmerizing and flawlessly produced. It became the most-downloaded episode of This American Life. There was only one problem. In almost every salient detail, the story was a fabrication.

On March 16, 2012, This American Life, aired the “Retraction” covering Rob Schmitz’s deconstruction of Daisey’s piece (he uncovered at least thirteen lies).

“Immediately after that we started working with professional fact-checkers,” said Glass.
What can i use to get rid of the admiral pop ups?
Frankly, because the “high value” ads are intrusive and gross.

Getting retargeted for something I bought two months ago on Amazon is annoying. Having Facebook notice I’m no longer in proximity to my wife’s phone and target forensic accountant and dating ads to me is creepy. It’s gross and offensive when it turns out we’re not together because she’s just succumbed to cancer.
EU Directive to mandate the creation of a Truth and Democracy Committee that will run a social media platform financed by a EU-wide tax on everything "obviously not good for you".

Yes, this is sarcasm...
In the US the government is specifically retaliating against law offices that have done this in ways that Trump doesn't like and those offices are largely caving and offering millions of dollars of pro bono work to Trump.

Leadership within the Democratic party is saying that Trump ignoring court orders is not really a big deal until they ignore an order from the Supreme Court, as if rulings from district and circuit courts somehow don't actually have the force of law.

Spineless cowards, everywhere.
And you're saying that a modules are instances of structs? Meaning functions in modules are non-static methods?
I am not saying upload something and have the social network verify the identity. Maybe something like VideoIdent/IDnow could work. Basically: Get a license to comment, the way you get a license to drive.

Microsoft birthday interrupted by a protest against using AI by Israeli military
Buying something because you saw it in ads is a wrong choice. If you need something, it is better to make an objective comparison and choose the product with the best properties. I think that for a rational buyer ad should be worthless.

Product makers don't want you to make a rational choice though. For example, take speakers: cheap ones do not have a response curve published at all (so assume worst), and more expensive ones often have a small blurred graph that is averaged to an octave, doesn't show the deviation between different samples of a product and is only for on-axis sound.

And guitars have no spec regarding sound at all except for trivial things like scale length, weight etc.
This is kinda good if you think about it since it'd create more friction in using ad-laden websites. Those that aren't blnuts with ads will be more likely rewarded with your attention. Seems fair.
Show HN: Composer Web – cursor extension for vibe coders
I've been using Cursor, Co-Pilot, ChatGPT, Claude and what not since quite some time now, and we are at a stage where we can just "vibe code" whole apps from idea to execution in a few prompts.
I tried this personally to create some side projects that solved little problems for me. But I always got stuck at a point where it just goes into an infinite loop of issues and can't solve the issue by itself.

Well I'm a developer, so it's easier for me to dive into the code and solve the problem myself, but that would take a hell lot of time to understand all the code AI wrote for me. If I keep wanna "vibing", I would just give it the screenshot of my current webpage view along with the console logs, and even network requests if its connected to some APIs

But even this took quite some manual effort and time, so I decided to solve this problem for myself when I created Composer Web

It solves that problem seamlessly by sending all your logs, reqs, and screenshot of your webpage altogether directly to your cursor chat, in just one-click and LESS THAN A SECOND.

I made this open source and it kinda blew up. So I'm looking for people to help me maintain this and build it further for more use cases like iOS Simulator logs, AWS Cloud Console logs and even extend the support to other open source IDEs like Cline, Aider, etc.

I'm also open to any feedback and suggestions you have for me. So feel free to comment here, or ping me on the discord given on the github repo

btw it also support iOS simulator screenshots now, so you can build both websites and iOS applications way easier now!!

Hope it makes your vibe coding flow even easier and hassle-free :D
Also, well targeted ads catch your attention more, so they have an higher chance to distract you from whatever you are doing.
Interesting, depending on how someone interprets 1c2c, it looks like the U.K. made it illegal to lie on the internet. I don't know about the U.K., but in the U.S., I would think that would run afoul of the 1st Amendment.

Look up what happened when he tried to strongarm China in 2018. China simply switched their supplier to Brazil, and never fully returned as a buyer of the American product.

Trump’s ship of fools is tossing the US to the sidelines of the global trade, in particular due to his inability to work with anyone else. EU is rearming, they won’t need “america’s protection”. Latin America (with the only exception being Argentina) is stronger than ever as a trade block, and getting courted by EU and China. Africa is aligning with China for a decade. India is going up the ladder, from US’s cheap labor center to a country producing goods for their own consumption. Even Israel seems completely uninterested in joining the “green list”.

Everyone will find more reliable trade partners, and the American people will be left hanging with this supposed “upper hand” trump supporters dream he has
> This feels sarcastic?

Wasn’t my intention but maybe I was laying it on thick.

I misspoke, the service job categories I referenced can be done withOUT a college degree, that probably should have been obvious because it included the categories “retail” (which, as you noted, can be done in a coma) and “hospitality” - but wouldn’t it underscore my point even more if you could make more money in manufacturing without a college degree than the largest sectors of service, with a college degree?

I didn’t include the service categories that require substantial amounts of post-secondary education such as “healthcare” and “financial.”

Anyways now you’re calling me disingenuous so I’m going to disengage. I hope despite a small mistake on my part, you can still see my point. Have a nice life!
What I was trying to point out: his wealth is in real estate and one huge chunk of DJT. No blue chips, no managed funds; nothing that mainstream America and Barack Obama would choose. I contend he attacks the mainstream because of all that.
How do you define social media? The use of algorithms to drive engagement? HN does use algorithms, though, such as upvotes/downvotes/flags influencing which stories/comments are seen more, and then there's the second chance pool. These algorithms may be more basic than those of, say, Facebook, but they are there. So what's the difference?

RBG had more power than almost anybody else on the planet to protect Roe by retiring when the dems had the ability to confirm a replacement. She chose not to. Frankly, I don't think she's the best source of wisdom for practical politicking around protecting abortion rights.

Do you really think that federal abortion protections would stand up to this court? They aren't even able to stand behind EMTALA protecting abortions when it is essential for the health of the pregnant woman. There is absolutely no way that federal legislation protecting abortion up to viability would resist conservative challenge in the courts given the supreme court's current makeup.
