I would like to, but I cannot, since it is a region-local newspaper that comes as actual paper, that only has a paid online offer, to which I have no access, nor could I post a link to that. If I went through recent paper form newspaper, I could get a photo of the text in German, but then I would (A) need to spend that time, and (B) need a place to upload pictures, without having to make an account, and only then get back to you with a link. To be honest, I am too lazy to do that, just to justify a comment on HN.

That's not unreasonable, but then you also didn't really "cite" your source. Even without photographing the paper, giving the name of it, article title, or author would go a long way.

I think the downvotes are harsh btw and in general HNers have gotten too reflexively downvoting IMHO.
