Thank you for letting us know -- this has been fixed. Looking forward to receiving your email.
sunw··on Ask HN: How to improve my abstract thinking?
When I was taking graduate-level mathematics courses, my professor told me that abstract concepts become much easier to wrestle with if we make them real through focused realization and imagination. This has served me well.

sunw··on How YC will be funding the S20 batch
Is there a floor exchange issue during strictly 1-on-1 video calls with only 2 participants?
sunw··on Ask HN: What should be taught in high school?
Learning techniques (the popular “Learning How To Learn” online course is a great general curriculum for this) and understanding/recognizing logical fallacies.
sunw··on Ask HN: What is your passive income 2019?
Nice job, and congratulations! How did you first get connected to your publisher? For that first book, did you have an agent representing you?
sunw··on Ask HN: Best ways to spend money towards climate efforts
Take a look at Project Vesta (they claim that they can absorb all societal CO2 to date feasibly): https://projectvesta.org/ It was previously discussed on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20403570
sunw··on The Last Question (1956)
Incredible; thanks for sharing. I found a version that's easier to read: http://afrodita.rcub.bg.ac.rs/~alexp/books/forbreat.html
sunw··on Ask HN: What are the best banking offers for startups today?
Having a nice experience with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB); they are able to address many startup-specific needs better than most other banking providers. I used them for a new Delaware corporation, and everything was done completely online. Despite SVB's namesake, I believe you don't have to be based in California.
sunw··on What It Was Like to Write a Full-Blown Flutter App
CodePush was the main reason why our team went with React Native instead of Flutter. Being able to push bug fixes to all of our users in real time is incredible.
sunw··on Why We Should Listen to Flat Earth Believers (Even Though They're Totally Wrong)
All the stars in the sky are also rising in the east and setting in the west. Our own sun is rising in the east and setting in the west. The earth's spin causes stuff in space to appear to go in the same direction.

Stars in general appear to move across the sky (east -> west) faster than the moon does. Does this mean the stars are actually moving faster than the moon? Of course not. The sky is just a stationary backdrop, and the moon is moving along the same direction as Earth's rotation.

sunw··on Why We Should Listen to Flat Earth Believers (Even Though They're Totally Wrong)
Here's a clean explanation from NASA's eclipse site (https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/why-do-eclipse-tracks-move-east...).

The moon actually moves much faster than the Earth spins -- it just seems to move westward to humans on the ground because it's so far away from Earth (takes 28 days to go around Earth). During a solar eclipse though, we see the effect of its true blisteringly fast orbital speed.

"Because the Moon moves to the east in its orbit at about 3,400 km/hour. Earth rotates to the east at 1,670 km/hr at the equator, so the lunar shadow moves to the east at 3,400 – 1,670 = 1,730 km/hr near the equator. You cannot keep up with the shadow of the eclipse unless you traveled at Mach 1.5."
