Ask HN: Is GoDaddy falsifying WHOIS records for Aquarium.tv?
Following up on this submission. I used the example of "Smell.tv" in that post, the one I'm actually looking for is Aquarium.tv. Who cares. Snipe it from me if you want, I'm probably not buying it after all this anyway. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41393638
HN, help me out here: *Is Aquarium.tv registered or not*? Because the NIC.tv WHOIS service operated by GoDaddy says it's a "Reserved Domain Name", but GoDaddy's Domain Broker Service says it's owned by a "third party". Those things can't both be true, right?
Anyway, here's the letter I just sent to Tuvalu. Who knows if anything will come of it. I don't think they have much of a staff.
> To whom it may concern at the Godaddy Registry and the Tuvalu Ministry of Justice, Communications and Foreign Affairs,
> I'm writing to express a concern about the inaccuracy of WHOIS data returned by the .tv registry. For the last few weeks, I have been making inquiries about the purchase of the domain Aquarium.tv. (You see, I'm running a company at Aquareum.tv, and lots of people are likely to type the name in the other way.) A WHOIS lookup performed at https://whois.nic.tv/ returns the following response for that domain:
> Reserved Domain Name
> This response is generally used to indicate that a domain is reserved by the registry — in this case, either GoDaddy or Tuvalu MJCFA — either permanently or as a "Premium" name to be sold at a higher price. So far, there's nothing unusual happening.
> However, I recently paid GoDaddy $119.99 for their Domain Broker Service for the domain anyway, to see if anything could be done. [Redacted] at GoDaddy has informed me that the owner of the domain is a "third party completely separate from us", and that they would be willing to sell me the domain for $10,000 USD. Now we have hit a contradiction. Aquarium.tv cannot be a "Reserved Domain Name" and owned by a "third party" at the same time. Which is it? *Is Aquarium.tv registered or not?*
> My concern is from the outside, it generates the appearance that GoDaddy themselves is reserving this domain name, while fraudulently claiming that a third party owns it for the purpose of selling it at a higher price. But I'm sure there's an innocent explanation — perhaps the WHOIS data is just inaccurate for some reason?
> Thank you for your time, > Eli Mallon

How voters feel artificial intelligence will impact election integrity
Ask HN: Is webdev getting complicated without results to show for it?
SPAs, SSR, typescript, bundlers, transpilers, jamstack, headless CMS, serverless adapters...
But where is all that complexity going? Most websites and web apps I encounter are no better than they were 10 years ago. Sure, they look better, but that's largely orthogonal. There's maybe a bit more interactivity but it's still basic CRUD most of the time. They break the same, sometimes even more.
It seems like chasing marginal improvements in dev and user experience leads to complexity which begets even more complexity.

Show HN: Void - Open-source Cursor
Hey HN, we're Andrew and Mat and we're building Void, an open source Cursor alternative. Our goal is to create a fully-featured AI editor where you can keep your data completely private. There are a lot of AI editors out there, but they either require you to access LLMs through their own API, or are an extension and not an IDE, so the linting and UI aren't perfect. Void is a full IDE (vscode fork) and we let you communicate directly with your providers or self-host your own model.
The main reason we went open source is to build for privacy. We can take the logic that would normally go on a server, like prompt building or message handling, and run it on your local machine. This means you can self-host a model like Mistral or Gemma and never have your data leave your computer. You can alternatively send your prompts directly to foundational models (GPT4o, Claude) without going through a middleman API.
Besides privacy, an exciting part of the project is that we can do whatever we want in the IDE. Normally if you want to build an AI tool you have to make the same chat UI, history management, filesystem indexing, LSP understanding, vscode integrations, etc, but we think we can standardize all these into a nice API you can just plug into. It would be awesome to create a centralized place that lets people build advanced tools like multi-file edits and agents without having to build it all from scratch.
Let me know what you think of the idea/any feedback. We've really enjoyed working on it and are super excited to see where it goes :)
