Cool (and congrats on the demo)! Sounds like a promising approach. I work on browser use agents and one of the most difficult problems now is bot detection. Curious if you know how this impacts bot detection/fingerprinting?

Can you say more about your product plans? It looks like this is directly competing with Browserbase — how will you differentiate? Looking forward to seeing how the product and company grows

The blog was making $30k profit and got acquired for $1m? Doesn't that seem super low? Obviously this type of exit wouldn't have VC-startup multiples, but still.

New comment by capiki in "Make the “semantic web” web 3.0 again – with the help of SQLite"

As luhn said, it’s more about a standard data format than a db choice. If every client has to figure out what schema a website uses for a recipe, let’s say, then Web 3.0 is still unrealistic.

Schema.org exists, but all websites adopting it seems unlikely.

That being said, I can maybe see a world in which one company adopts schema.org schemas and the rest have to follow suit to be competitive in that particular domain.

I think 1) will probably never get "solved," but that's ok. I don't think the vision of DAOs replacing traditional companies will ever materialize, for example. It's just too inefficient.

What I see blockchains enabling (to what degree, tbd) is ownership of digital assets without a central party. Take concert tickets, for example. Imagine a world where transaction fees are nominal and blockchains are scalable. An artist/venue can mint tickets and have people buy them directly from them, no TicketMaster with 20% "convenience" fees needed. Now, of course, there will exist a product (probably a winner takes-all, as usual), that will serve as the UI to mint the tickets. But a significant value add of such products, the validation of tickets via the authority of their name, will be replaced by the blockchain. I don't know exactly what that'll look like, but I don't think that's insignificant.

Ask HN: Aren't NFTs sort of centrally controlled?

capiki — Sat, 11 Sep 2021 21:33:29 +0000

If the content of NFTs is hosted externally (say, on IPFS) and is controlled by a central authority, doesn't that make the "owner" of the NFT forever subject to the whim of the host? Is there a content digest stored on chain to keep the host honest? I'm asking as someone who's genuinely curious and trying to figure this space out. Not trying to "dunk" on crypto here.

I mean, they pay for it via salaries, and the people who lose money in the market also pay them.

Rationality really only makes sense in relation to goals, as far as I can see. If your goal is to meet your basic needs, then it’s irrational to work all day. If your goal is market domination, then I’d say working all day is a very rational thing to do

Aren’t many people (most?) who use social media young and naive?

I may have missed it but I didn't see anywhere that Retool is paying for a subscription. Even if they are, I'm not sure that entitles them to free use of the Fakercloud CDN.
