They're just jokes, not supposed to have much meaning beyond a superficial connection to zen stories. Any attempt to read into them will be frustrating.

- nurettin 4y agoYeah ok, but what is the sound of one hand?

- goldenkey 4y agoThe sound of one hand clapping is the powerful slap I give across the face to the absolutely vile product manager that added the new absurdly loud Android TV YouTube startup sound that cannot be disabled: https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1337950347231440899?t=cv4uhOrneXy5SBjcm47wGg&s=19 https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1337950347231440899?t... "Why is the startup sound so loud?" asked Minsky. "Because they don't use their own products" I replied. Minsky began scribbling in his notebook at a furious pace. "What are you writing?" I asked of Minsky. "Just another obituary for an undead product" replied Minsky. At that moment, I became enlightened. I realized Gmail was undead, and YouTube was on its way to becoming a zombie too! "So Google is purgatory?" I blurted out, flustered. "As much as a slap is one hand clapping!" replied Minsky. I instantly became enlightened and Ram Dass appeared, as if from the heavens. I knew what my mission now was. To ridicule Google on Hacker News in front of their employees so they reverse this beyond stupid decision some idiot in a position of power made. ;-) /slap goldenkey slaps YouTube PM around a bit with a large trout
