> I ran a semi-popular German case-modding website and forum 19 years ago. Was that casemodder.de by any chance? I spent quite a lot of time there back in my teenage days.

Well, did it ever close? I live in Germany and there are a few bars here that are open around the clock. Many of them hat to close for the first time in years because of the Corona lockdown. There's an anecdote about the "Elbschlo

It sounds like a quite complicated, risky and expensive job to do just out of greed without any idea what to do with the stolen goods.

Because other humans pay money for this. And we're probably not that far away from Health Insurance Companies using your toothbrush's data to calculate your rates.

Or a userbase that for some reason dislikes and abuses you. Maybe you have made enemies because of some random political statemant. A large enough group could ruin you.

Then what's up with the whole "directions" part? In an answer to another comment you wrote: > I'm requiring the users to make a leap from the title of the page 'Gif Directions' to uploading a video, which wi

Same. I skimmed through all comments in this thread and still have no idea what this service does. From the intro video it seems to be a service that converts a video to a gif.

With Chromium based browsers you should be able to set every website to be muted at first. You'll only see a mute symbol on the tab when the tab tries to play sound. If there is no sound at all, there shouldn't be an icon.

Apparently the author read this and reacted quickly, or this is a nice coincidence - Dublin was added about an hour after your comment, with the video you suggested: https://twitter.com/driveandlisten/status/127301

Yeah, this would be my feature request as well. If there are decent quality of night drives available for the city it would be nice to be able to switch to those.

They'll tell you who pays for the connection. They can't reliably tell you who uses it. Maybe it was a family member, roommate or anybody who knows the wifi password.

This is a bit of an exaggeration, but: I bet you the arms industry is full of brilliant people as well, but developing systems that are designed to kill people is still wrong.

This. I had no idea what this did until I read a couple of HN-comments. The short introduction could mean a couple of things: Just downgrading the pdf? Looking for a signature-like part and turns this to pseduo-handwritten characters, mayb

For me, it's not about precision. With the Trackpoint I can rest my hands on the Keyboard/Homerow and I can use the pointer without having to move my hands at all.

The way I understand it, they're talking about asian (super-)markets, not the marktes of Asia. At least that's the way here in Germany. While flour, toilet paper, some sorts of canned food and random other stuff is sold out in mos
