I love the idea of this but the mention of Hedy Lamarr could be confused as parody too when she was in fact an incredibly intelligent engineer and physicist.
Anyway it reminds me of the deep fake of Kim K and Nicki Minaj explaining subnetting: https://youtu.be/KcgyGYTnk4M?feature=shared
Has anyone made a ranked list of the most mentioned people or historical facts on HN. Hedy must be on there somewhere: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=hedy+lamarr
I learned about her from HN so that tracks! As she should be.
Dexter Holland from the Offspring, the punk band I was obsessed about during my childhood, has PhD in molecular biology.
I thought this thread is a good place to share this fact.

Exactly, that was a bit puzzling.
