Heh, you seriously think that's why I had a problem with your post? I am once again staggered by the brilliant insights into human nature I learn here on HN...

Bye y'all!

The shortcoming is that it is insulting simple. Seriously. :P

This is an insultingly simple rendering of some pretty complex topics.

Melatonin intensified my dreams but did not prompt nightmares; but then, I never have nightmares any way!

A friend who was prone to nightmares tried melatonin and it made her nightmares worse.

So perhaps it just induces worse nightmares in those prone to having them in the first place.

Hitting the thing that looks like a play button actually toggles the video visibility.

In general, magnetism requires the material to be ordered, and heating an object up involves adding lots of random motion to the system.

That's what causes hot objects to glow, basically -- the electrons get pushed to higher orbitals, and then fall back down again, emitting light.

Why are you referring to a book that was published well after the quote in the article?

>"Feynman's thesis advisor, John Wheeler, proposed the hypothesis in a telephone call to Feynman in the spring of 1940"

Those look pretty different to me. I mean, very clearly related, but with tons of small changes. Like, the angle of almost every terminal is different, and in general the new typeface is much more vertical.

This seems like one of those things people say to score points, rather than to actually engage in the process of using their brains.

There are a myriad of things that are legal for the government to do that are illegal for a common citizen. There's no irony in that.

Netrunner came out 3 years after Magic.

Yeah, whoever changed the headline accidentally made it misleading click-bait.
