- nitrogen 14y agoI'm assuming that you are referring to Jonah Lehrer recycling his own material. Part of tokenadult's self-assigned role here on HN is collecting relevant commentary and references for various subjects, then revising and posting it whenever those subjects come up. You'll find such tokenadult tomes posted on articles related to intelligence, for example. I think they are a useful contribution to the discussion, as they summarize previous discussions and bring newcomers up to speed on a subject.
- seiji 14y agoThe problem is when I think I'm reading something new then realize half way through "Wait, didn't I read this two days ago?" It's a huge waste of time because it's the comment from two days ago with a tiny new header added making it relevant to this topic instead. Comment reposts should (must?) designate such at the top with a link back to the original comment.
