Yeah I would love to get an invite too (if you have another spare one)
I also believe there will be another drop when the apps actually are shut down. Now people are loggin in to get the last details without much hassle. I did this myself, it’s muscle memory to open Apollo and browse it, even with some subreddits closed. When the app are down… there will be the another spike, which Reddit has to overcome. At that moment I will most probably also shut down.

Whenever I put a google search down, and see one page of Pinterest on there I immediately go back to the search box and go for; “-site:pinterest.*”. I absolutely hate that site with a passion.
Re:Ask HN: Best non-business books to read on vacation on Monday July 27, 2020 @03:06AM (#23962827)
Some suggstions on my end would be: Ready player one - Ernest Cline Mistborn trilogy - Brandon Sanderson A short history of nearly everything - Bill Bryson Dune - Frank Herbert
Yes I do this every day. Just because I'm always working on network drives and if I just close down the lid, the favourites in my Finder will disappear every now and then. When shutting down the laptop completely I eliminate this effect.
Re:Show HN: How good are you at spotting lookalike domains? on Tuesday January 21, 2020 @09:55AM (#22107403)
I was expecting this to be harder as well. With swapped unicode letters. Maybe you should make them different levels, 1 = easy like you had, 2 = with upside down letters, 3 = greek letter replacement (unicode swapping)
If you're a history geek you should definitly check out Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. This year he only made 2 episodes. 'Supernova in the east' II & III. At a whopping 4 hours each these feel more like an audiobook crammed with history rather than a Podcast. But I can definitly recommend them both & the complete works of him of course.
I can second this. Even though I stumbled upon this podcast only 2 weeks ago. Just after the first episode I knew I had to hear more stories, so I started listening these back to back from the start. I can highly recommend this.

Sure; Last year I visited the place, at the cathedral island the lamps are lighted every evening.[1] It's a great sight, the guy walks fast, so if you want to make a beautiful photo you have to be quick. [1] https://www.getyourguide.com/wroclaw-l2036/wroclaw-cathedral...
Re:Category:Obsolete occupations on Wednesday December 11, 2019 @01:16AM (#21760034)
A lamplighter is still employed by the city of Wroclaw. So the job is not 100% obsolete but rather extremely rare.
Re:Estonia has a new way to stop speeding motorists on Saturday November 09, 2019 @05:46AM (#21490742)
I can totally stand behind this idea. It’s way more equal than money. Every single person get 24 hours a day, but not everybody has €200 (or however high the fee may be) free at hand. Although I think there should be still an upper limit. Saying if you speed more than X there’s more consequences involved rather than time and/ or money.

I would say the website which shows you and tells you what you're doing in the browser; https://clickclickclick.click/
