At the time we were watching Stranger things a lot, so I called it demogorgon.

Well, I made my girlfriend a GUI app that converts subtitles from Windows-1251 to utf-8 encoding so that she doesn't have to remember how to do it. And I didn't even name it after her...

Can you point me to some of them? I'm quite interested in visual hashing.

Well, we have hashing algorithms that do exactly that, like phash for example.

I don't seem to find it mentioned: LEDs at night are terrible for your sleep, especially the blue ones. Among other things they suppress the melatonin release.

An article that goes into more detail and provides a citations for further research.

Do we really need excuses for pirating media?

I pirate movies because I think digital access to them is overpriced, goes to the copyright holder instead of the creators, it's convenient and most importantly because I can.

I can't pirate going to the cinema, nor can I afford to build my own, therefore I gladly pay to have a seat and enjoy a movie there.

Edit: I thought this may be relevant to the movies example I gave. I don't think movie studios, giving nothing back to society after massive profits are the ones we should debate the morals of stealing with.

If this is just for the fun of it I would try to run these services inside a virtual machine and just screen capture them. Never tried it but I don't see a reason why it won't work.

Wouldn't such automated crossposting result in some really spammy communities without actual people filtering them?

I think reddit can afford to have so many posts in these massive subs because they have a massive community that engages with the posts by up/down voting them.
