I'm thinking that's somewhat off-topic, as there's just a teaser 'graph (though not so short as to give some cause to complain) and a < 2m trailer.
Post the episode itself once it's up and we can talk. Hopefully substantively.
- rpeden 3y agoThat's fair! I mostly posted it because this was the first I'd heard if it and I mostly wanted to hear HN's thoughts about whether this is noteworthy enough for a Frontline documentary. But I grew up watching Frontline and Nova and other PBS shows with my grandfather, so I think they might just occupy a different place in my mind than they do for others.
- dredmorbius 3y agoDefinitely. The episode looks interesting, and the heads-up is useful. But the announcement itself isn't food for "intellectual curiosity", HN's objective: <https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html>
