Is the emergence of life an expected phase transition in the evolving universe? 2 years ago

Interesting (side note) as I read all the commentary here: As people (obviously) are reacting to the particular "group psychology", or personality or culture here within HN, many commentators are heavily apologizing for not having specific links or attributions available. And I understand why now: Too many neurotic or OCD (or selfishly angry) individuals who will downvote in a heartbeat if the comment isn't to their supreme liking. So, to prove that point, this comment will (most likely) get downvoted into oblivion. I like free commentary sections that don't show off "commentary powers". I once asked a simple innocent question and the downvotes simply drove me to stop trusting anyone here... really sad, since I am an intelligent person with feelings and with curiosity and VALID opinions. Sorry that this rubs the weird people the wrong way. Just sayin'

How to forget what you read 3 years ago

To be honest, I would love to forget some books I read and re-live the thrill of being startled by the plot again.

To be perfectly honest, I'd love to be startled by the plot the first time round

Ask HN: What's the coolest physical thing you've made? 3 years ago

Built "Free Enterprise" (AKA 'Big Bird") with Dave Elliot. My boss was Tom Jewett. That plane along with the golden Q2 shown at Oshkosh 1981.

I'd be super impressed if anyone knew my name ;-) (Fred Jiran would know me) (plus, I was hired by Boeing in 1985 and worked in MR&D Composite Primary Structures)

P.S. G. Michael Huffman is a BFL (big fat liar). He came on after Dave and I completed the aircraft, INCLUDING the landing dolly. Actually, I give 95% credit to Dave there, he did most of the final work, since he was a registered A&P.
