I'm curious, a few of your comments are lists of $thing: $link - often without context or any explanation, so is there some form of automation going on here? Additionally, while the tone of the original comment was a little cheeky,

Haha no way I did exactly the same thing on a TP-Link router https://blog.mclemon.org/debugging-a-tp-link-wr741nd-using-s... Except I didn’t know the password and got distracted by something else before I got round to fiddl

I used to wait for the archive.ph (or similar) link to be posted too. But it's actually really easy, if you encounter a paywalled article copy the URL, go to https://archive.ph , paste it into the second URL field and submit

Could be due to the added consumer protections and rights you get within the EU - regulations on how the airline should treat you when they cancel flights or when they arrive late etc?

I was giving an example of one of the things I liked in particular. Text on a flag to me is usually a no-no but in Iraq’s case it works (and Iran’s too, but a bit more subtle). Sorry I should’ve been clearer :-)

Yeah it gives you a bit of confidence that the problem may not be something on your end. I don't think there's a perfect way to handle this, though.

Step #3 is unfortunately often pointless given that often either: 1. the status page is unavailable too 2. the status page reports the service as green/available even though it's red/down (maybe it's still accessible to

Additionally having a narrow viewpoint of a situation (at a restaurant, eyeballing some receipts) and assuming you've seen enough to identify the root cause of a problem. There's a pretty large assumption that the cause was mishea

Don't know if you're trolling, or making a joke but I'll bite just once: I believe it doesn't matter, that Russia was going to invade whether the US wanted to stop or encourage them, whether they were displeased or excit

There are people here on HN who do this, and not just the green-name accounts that get spun up, spew nonsense for a few days before being downvoted to the point that they're shadowbanned. There are years-old accounts who do carry a lo

Ok now I’m curious what beer is served at CERN. I am not familiar with any Swiss beer and only a handful of unspectacular French beers.

I really don't think this is down to people who could otherwise afford their groceries deliberately making a savvy financial decision to counter inflation. It'll unfortunately just be folks who need (say) $100 but don't have

Bush, Blair and the cohort that pushed for invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq will unfortunately retire in peace. They weren’t dictators, not that this excuses them in anyway

Minor nitpick, the agency infamous for gangs is the LASD which is separate. The LAPD is infamous in other ways though, Rodney King is going to stick in many people's minds for a long time, and there's an enormous "Corruptio

I don't think diordiderot is claiming more cops = better. They're giving one example of how police could stop crime, but one that is self-evidently not scalable. One cop per storefront would cause the number of police to explode

The man in question will live out his final years as an international pariah, paranoid about appearing weak in front of any potential rivals domestically, unable to freely travel internationally and with his legacy tarnished beyond repair.

Actually I didn't reference any decline in quality but in some locales, like Scotland where I'm from, you're absolutely right. Tennent's lager is now the most popular, it is not good. Where I am currently the most popula

It definitely is more complex than that but currently the most popular type of beer now was not the original beer (or was not among the first beers, certainly not until the 1800s) and is relatively modern.

The fact that food and drink evolve over time isn't too controversial. Beer, for example, evolved from having darker "ale" being more popular, to lighter lager/pilsner/ležák being the predominant type. I don't

I am curious about it and I'm quite sure that it is great but on that hill you are fighting an ... err ... uphill battle. To flip a contemporary saying around "pizza is like sex, even if it's bad it's still good" :D
