Pretty funny short film from a couple of years ago - didn't get too many views so I thought it was worth sharing.

Sounds lucrative but also a hard industry to break into. I have some interesting ideas related to self-driving cars but I have no clue where I'd even take those.

I think people tend to conflate "memorization" with "cramming". You're right that memorization is underrated. Are you familiar with the 'method of loci' (i.e. memory palace). It's an amazing technique

The concept of a driving test for self-driving cars is pretty interesting - is there anything like this currently in the works?

I wonder if this article will cause additional heckling in the future - can the OP comment as to whether there's been an increase in trolling today from this?

I have had no issues with my hardware - although it does take a little bit of extra time to get things working (i.e. nonfree firmware required for the wifi).

I appreciate their industrial design, but refuse to use their operating systems. I run linux on all my macs and I'll never go back.

I signed up and gave the wikipedia feature a try, it works, but is there a way to link to any website of my choosing, or is it limited to wikipedia/books?

that seems like a reasonable solution. I'd like to be able to do this in slack conversations - I haven't used slack in a while, but the auto-generated descriptions were always a distraction, would be nice to select the text I want

Your service seems pretty useful in the context of e-books (which seems like your primary market based on your website) - I'm not sure why the medium article starts off with wikipedia as an example, seems like a weaker use case (just m

as a side-note, I wish there was a 'quantopian for cryptocurrencies' (maybe there already is) - I know the lessons are universally applicable but I'd rather be working with those datasets.

people seemed lukewarm on the original ShowHN ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7869726 ) - I guess the lesson is to not get too discouraged if initial feedback on a project isn't as amazing as hoped
