It's like a really ugly combination of that episode and the waldo episode

It's the most _2017_ article I've ever read.

I completely agree with this. I'm surprised reddit hasn't monetised the actual comment threads themselves and become a better disqus.

Tachyons is so good that I would find it difficult to go back to plain css. I usually cringe looking at non Tachyons stylesheets. I'm not even totally sure how I worked before it.

The production value alone was incredible. I was expecting to see a Directed by Christopher Nolan at the end.

Yeah it's more like *-dl. It's hard to find sites it doesn't work with.

When it goes from 5k to 10k there will then be the inevitable slew of headlines: _Is it time to start paying attention to the bitcoin???_

Very interesting, thank you.

What is a Mental Model? I've heard this word tossed around so much recently and I still don't feel like I understand what it means.

That sounds amazing, I'll check it out!

I don't know how inbox does it, but I like how some newsletters are rendered on it, the product hunt newsletter shows up as just the top three/four posts of the day.

Yup, I love those too. They probably have even less conflict than Slacker :P

Thank you for pointing this out, I hadn't heard about before and now I really want to see it!

I love the kinds of stories where nothing happens, I don't even know what they're technically called but I mentally refer to them as people walking around and doing stuff movies. I dont know why they're so appealing to me - maybe for the same reason that people find slow tv good. But I would be totally happy to go and watch Slacker for the sixth time right now.

And this https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/90179790604643942...

It's not canon, but in Ted Chiang's short story about the tower of Babel. The tower was perpetually in construction, so a whole society eventually flourished in the tower.

Some people never even left the tower because it took too long to get down from the place they were born.

The live feed is usually a little clunky when it's landing on the boat. The one from last week was crystal clear https://youtu.be/vLxWsYx8dbo?t=19m42s

This is amazing. In terms of the ICOs that people on HN talk about. Is that a company creating a coin and then selling the first coin offering to create capital?

Not only that but would non Android developers even understand the feature?

Exactly.

A consequence of this being true is the Raven Paradox [1], seemingly the OP has solved the classic riddle in a HN thread.

I don't really have anything to add beside that the fly.io website is beautiful.

True. It's not based on any hard evidence but IMO the author made a persuasive argument for it.

I also recently finished The Three Body Problem, we could get there in 500 years with the minor caveat that we are not killed in a dark forest strike sometime before then.

Thank You! This is amazing and I love it.

So true, I thought the last paragraph of the article was particularly apt.

>When journalistic institutions widely publicize material of this sort, only to abdicate the vital work of rigorously addressing its substance, they make its least plausible claims more likely to be normalized. They leave the project of assessing its merits and flaws to Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and other venues where the loudest voices tend to prevail, instead of offering their own careful reporting and expert analysis.

I buy this point so much because after reading about the controversy on the crazy 1000 comment thread here on HN and the other threads on reddit, there was no top level comment that made the same well reasoned claims this very article did, which IMO is so far the best I have read about the whole debacle. This is what journalists doing their job looks like.

Please tell me how? Is there a way to disable them without disabling google now?

Dear God. I can barely handle the news snippets that have started appearing in Google Now, I'm actually really close to disabling the entire thing because of them. I guess this means they're not going away anytime soon.

I guess soundcloud is technically using Google Cloud now...
