> If we had comments asking people “how can I more easily shoplift video game consoles?” — would we allow that? Well.. Let's play devil's advocate and see how far we can go. You're asking a question that could be deconstructed into a few different challenges: * psychology and ways to subvert (or bias) human observation * ways to avoid automatic surveillance (read: CCTV, facial recognition, etc.) * logistics * hitting large, faceless corporations where it hurts: on the bottom line As to their application to Hacker News frequents' interests? Subverting or cheating human observation skills: stage magicians. Avoiding automatic surveillance: very much in tune with HN. Hacker culture at its core. Logistics: again, in tune with HN. (Flexport, anyone?) Hitting faceless corporations in their bottom line? And underneath that all, there is the common curiosity. This is a technical challenge. How do I win?
