I love this book! The part about the implication of digitized minds and long distance space travel was really eye-opening. It really makes you understand that, no, aliens are not v…

We need to differentiate between a "What this is" comment and a "What this does" comment. "What this does" is a lot closer to "Why" than it is to "What this is". I would hope "What…

I'm always finding sponges and gloves that were left inside our patient after previous operations.

Takadanobaba has always been my favorite. The Tetsuwan Atom theme song.

This is the World Wide Web? This is what the World Wide Web is supposed to be.

Has Trump taken credit for it yet?

This x1000 when you're working with people in different time zones.

Also `a lot` not `alot`

Not to dash everyone's hopes but somebody has been inventing this every 5 years since 1997.

Just the other day I was thinking this hasn't been posted to HN for a while. I'm glad to see it again. Although I feel no need for religion in my life, I recognize that most people…

I love this song and I feel so lucky I was able to see it live at their final Japan show last spring! They come out for an encore like "we're just gonna do one more song" then play…

I agree that urls for this sort of thing are unreliable and there is some merit in requiring the reader to type the code in manually but how about putting an outrageously complex Q…

In Japan, they're not banned but there's an extra 2 or 3 yen charge if you want one. This charge amounts to just about nothing but it was enough to get almost everyone to switch to…

Also laser swords.

Ah! I think I get it now. The question you have a problem with isn't "Why?" but "Why me?", right? I still think that, even in the context of the aftermath of some disaster or traum…

The part I don't get is where he says "Why" is an arrogant question. I think "Why" is usually the most important question. What about it is arrogant? Am I just too arrogant to see …

They are green. Japanese people just call them blue (青). The colors we call green and blue are just ranges on a spectrum. Where you draw the line between them to call one green and…

The Tommy Lee Jones campaign was wildly successful and extremely long-lived but the post makes it sound like it launched the brand. This is not true. Boss was around for some time …

I think the answer is obvious. It is and it isn't.
