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 visiting earth.

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 this is" is rarely needed but "What this does" can certainly be helpful pretty often.

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

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 seem to need it. So why not this? I think it's better than any of the other ones.

I've used both of these a lot, Marp being really easy to get started with and Slidev being a little more complex but well worth the (minor) effort. To me, presenterm doesn't appear to offer any compelling features compared with these.

So they think they can wait till 2030 when a different guy will be in the White House? They better think again.

Yes, this exactly. In fact, we need a new term to describe the type of "cult" that pushes this agenda (probably the goal is just to get impressions/retweets more than an actual agenda though).

Human languages are full of idioms that have origins that no longer relate at all to the way the terms are used. It doesn't make them wrong or less useful.

I've always said: Good artists borrow, great artists steal. You can quote me on that.
