hex12648430··on Ask HN: What are your favorite active tech-related subreddits comparable to HN?
From my experience /r/futurology contains way too much clickbait and sensationalist bullshit to be enjoyable.

Another young director that also deserves attention is Yasuhiro Yoshiura. For the HN audience I'd recommend his short Pale Cocoon about an archivist in charge of restoring humanity's collective digital history and his spin full of humor on Asimov's Laws of Robotics in Time of Eve.

Also, minor nitpick, it's Makoto, not Markoto.

I wouldn't introduce someone to Satoshi Kon with Paprika. In my opinion it is much better to watch Kon's movies in their chronological release order. Perfect Blue is much more accessible and less surrealist than Paprika which may confuse someone and cause them to dismiss Kon's whole cinematography as a whole.

And before that Spirited Away, and before that Princess Mononoke, and before that... Miyazaki retiring has become kind of a meme in anime communities over the past decade or so.

If you are a researcher looking for a 4chan dataset spanning a much longer time period and many different boards, I would recommend looking into the archive.moe database dump[0] that was uploaded to the Internet Archive after the owner decided to stop his activities.

Because of inane comments.

If time travel was possible there would be a lot of ways to make money more efficiently than with bitcoins.

>and everyone is ignoring the filesharing part because it's full of porn. It's much better in smaller rooms.
hex12648430··on Show HN: Real-time file sharing site
Talking about 4chan, I really love how this site seems to be a mix of some kind of IRC and imageboard. It's also bringing back memories of some DC++ rooms I used to visit when it was the best way to share files.
