jakoblorz··on Stealing sensitive browser data with the W3C Ambient Light Sensor API (2017)
That’s insane but kind of valid - maybe restrict access to the light sensor api to same-origin sources?
jakoblorz··on YouTube is taking down educational hacking videos
That’s really sad! Censoring informative content should never be part of any corporate strategy, especially in countries having freedom in their constitution.

Have a look at PeerTube (https://joinpeertube.org) if you don’t know it yet.

jakoblorz··on Ask HN: How do you build applications that require zero maintenance?
You’re product will be developed at some point - that is when it doesn’t matter how the product was built. Agile is not an indefinite process.

Can you elaborate on why you chose no_gravity? Is this a joke?
jakoblorz··on Starship Prototype Unveiled
https://youtu.be/Sdwy9fzQzl4 Scott Manley does a great job explaining such things!
jakoblorz··on Dog-walking startup Wag raised $300M, then things got messy
> This is a typical guy who feels pressure so he buys at the top and puts his money based on recommendation of others in a business that is going to be next big thing

Well that is how the current VC market works - sadly

jakoblorz··on WeWork’s Adam Neumann Steps Down as CEO
But that doesn’t prevent small companies to just take the risk. And by doing so, they are as efficient as WeWork and compete on the same level. What counts is the product and that is the same from the small and big company.
jakoblorz··on .NET Core gRPC
I really like the generate-on-save workflow integrated into vs
jakoblorz··on Serverless: slower and more expensive
Until he leaves and some poor other dev has to dig into his stack
jakoblorz··on Ask HN: How does one define a startup?
Hmm, I think this definition needs some kind of innovation factor. Most start-ups try to do something different than the competition. Those who succeed improved or innovated successfully. Small local business mostly innovate on how to do things (process improvements to cut cost), less on the product itself
jakoblorz··on Show HN: I made a jobs board for developers without degrees
And in some others it doesn’t cost anything: I just have to pay a 300€ registration fee each semester here in Germany.
jakoblorz··on Automattic raises $300M at $3B valuation from Salesforce Ventures
300m in pure ads incoming
jakoblorz··on Launch HN: Dashblock (YC S19) – Turn Any Website into an API
The Freelancer approach does not work, if the data you extract is time critical. But then again, why would anyone not try to find an api for such data and rely on dom parsing. So, OPs product is worth it, if you validated and trust their ML model to work correctly, believe they can guarantee a certain uptime and the data you extract is time sensitive or mission critical. Also the data cannot be resourced from an api. People with such needs may be willing to pay good bucks, but good luck finding early adopters as well as the data-niche where there is demand for something like this.

jakoblorz··on Bauhaus: A Failed Utopia?
Just recently I read about Frankfurt Kitchens on HN. HN seems to be more topic-diverse than I expected.

Stripe could do that XD
jakoblorz··on “Illegal” Lego Builds (2006) [pdf]
This channel is amazing! At some point, yt recommended it and that was the only time it recommended something truly unique. The channel not only does hoisting tests but also rev-tests, which are interesting as well.
jakoblorz··on FaceTime bug lets you hear audio of person you are calling before they pick up
That's a feature, not a bug! ;)
jakoblorz··on Mozilla is deeply concerned about Microsoft killing EdgeHTML
What if the narrative behind Microsoft's decision is not to build a better browser but to hurt Google from a regulatory view? I mean they maneuvered Google into an obvious and significant monopoly position, similar to the one Microsoft found itself before the uprise of Google.
jakoblorz··on Goodbye, EdgeHTML

That was too easy
jakoblorz··on How I recorded user behaviour on my competitor’s websites
Just to be clear: you do not endorse copyright infringement for the sake of being cool, do you?
jakoblorz··on Companies Shouldn’t Be Accountable Only to Shareholders
This is basically the discussion between Shareholder Value vs Stakeholder Value

jakoblorz··on Companies Shouldn’t Be Accountable Only to Shareholders
The discussion about this proposal will be interesting: The groups which call people "leftist" will for sure argue that the economy will be badly impacted by these changes, as they always argue with. Germany in contrast has a rather staggering economical performance for being so "leftist", which reduces the power of the argument. Those groups will then have serious issues argumenting at all (which arguments of the same magnitude are left?).

I assume that a civilised discussion can still be held in the US.
