Off topic, but why are Ask HN posts displayed in gray like a negatively voted comment? This entry has 35 positive points currently so shouldn't be made so low contrast...

It's to de-emphasize post bodies. It's like that for all post bodies on HN. I believe the rationale was to focus on the title/link and any comments.
For me, the title is also gray:

"Ask HN: Germans, how to work legally remote?"

I think that's the styling for a:visited. (It links to itself.)
