Sites like musicvideogenome.com and tubalr.com (and netflix) make me want some sort of app or widget that can scrape/redirect video from a portion of my browser or screen and turn it into a source that VLC can multicast across my network.

This seems very similar to tubalr.com, which was on Hacker News 2-3 months ago. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2428774 I like them both.

Hmm, I am curious how this link was accepted, when I have the exact same link in my submission from 16 hours ago. I thought the submission mechanism elimated duplicates. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2968548

I like your site a lot, but am wondering when you get hit for being various kinds of scrapers. I wish you well, I am so glad to find that others hate lyrics sites as much as I do. And yet, I am often searching for lyrics (when I don't have

Yes! Let's downvote as opposed to reply. Downvote is a nice anonymous hit and expresses your displeasure in a nice anonymous way! Woot!

Since it seems the most likely use for this craft or its successors is not as manned aircraft but as unmanned kinetic bomb, the headline "New York to LA in less than 12 minutes" seems to tell a story of a different United States than the on

This is an interesting page from 2006: http://digitalpbk.blogspot.com/2006/11/fun-with-unicode-and-... and seems to demonstrate to me that Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer all will eagerly display the RLO character, and Chrome and Sa

It's a very nice app. Thank you Amazon. I hope O'Reilly and Safari Books Online take note. I use Safari but its web app to read the books is so slow as to make the whole experience painful and doesn't provide nearly the value it could. It

We got MSMed. The post about baseball bat sales in the UK was the perfect media bait and they all linked to the item page. Hmm. The past 48 hours a lot of sites have been slow for me: HN, Salon, FARK, ... I figured I was getting Cox'd. h

I greatly appreciate you will help me find insurance that protects my car from alien abduction. Does that cover me, my passengers, and cow, or is it just for the vehicle itself? :) http://i.imgur.com/B9zdt.png http://coverhound.com/

It may not be. I was just going to Progressive which I think does something similar and iirc they say if they can't get you the best quote themselves, they're okay with that. Otoh, how IS leaky different from esurance? I don't understand

That could be -- it's been awhile since I checked. There does seem to be a bit of chicken and egg barrier though. I may be willing to give out this information to allstate.com or statefarm.com or progressive.com but I am not sure I or othe

Fwiw, I agree with you. So I wondered why I didn't get an autoplay story, then I realized it's on ABC and last week I had ad block plus create an easy filter to get rid of their videos entirely. As far as I can tell, losing ABC videos is ju

My experience is that almost every deletion war I have witnessed is in reality a war about differing "political" beliefs and is an exercise mostly in censorship, speech policing, and gate keeping. Instead of deleting articles, it might be b

I would claim you've got it skewed, especially for someone posting from Hacker News. Let me try and reformulate it: If you drop a URL in that's fine, one of our bots will come by, not to chastise your edit as possible vandalism, but to fi

Apart from the usual wikilawyers warring and reverting everything, I've also recently found lots of bots come by just to tag edits, which were correct, as possible vandalism, etc. Plus the problem mentioned in the article that it's no longe
