The title of this article is absurd clickbait.

  That seems normal for vice.com, does it not?

    Yes, the problem is that HNers consider themselves intellectually superior to Redditors who tend to be the ones that upvote sensationalist articles. Apparently they don’t understand the heavy overlap between their collective behavior.

      Curious what warranted this backlash?

        Poor quality of top posts in the front page, considering HNs etiquette about content strictly pertaining to anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity when it’s clearly not the case. Also the cognitive dissonance of people here when their favorite platform gets compared to admittedly lower quality ones (Reddit). What should one expect however when the front page is for the most part infested with meaningless platitudes about trends that end up being short-lived but get hyped as life-altering innovations? And I haven’t even touched upon the subject of the course of debates on the site (bold assumptions by commenters significantly lacking background but still considering themselves authority)…

        your last parenthesized part seems ubiquitous now far more than 10+ years ago, to say the least.

  Damned fine book.

    Yes, I always enjoyed the first book or two of Arthur C Clarke. After that he generally had shot his wad / overstayed his welcome. 2001 is really a visual opera so to speak, but it makes very little sense without the book/("programme"?). I felt like this was written after the movie. 2010 felt like much more of a read that was written before the movie with a deliberate plot.

Is there a longer video? That video was so short, there isn’t time to really understand what I am looking at before it loops.

  Look at the very northern part of the sun. At the beginning, it's just a normal surface, but what looks like a giant cyclone forms over it about halfway through
