Hacker News Stories and Comments

All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this video.
I made this comment earlier, but Wendover has a great video on this very topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p0fRlCHYyg
Wendover Productions has a great video on the latest generation of supersonic airplanes and their comparative advantage over prior attempts like the concorde.

These three (albeit somewhat long) videos answer a lot of the questions you asked:

Flight of the New Concordes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZLykryZLFk

Supersonic Planes are Coming Back (And This Time, They Might Work) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p0fRlCHYyg

Supersonic Flight - What Does The Future Hold? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3K04wgf_ZQ

The intersection of "HN readers" and "Wendover youtube subscribers" is surprisingly large.

I also suspect we also all watch Technology Connections, Techmoan, LGR, Map Men, HAI, and Periscope Films...

I never knew I was so into construction until I started watching it

For similar material, consider Road Guy Rob: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqdUXv9yQiIhspWPYgp8_XA

Although it’s not mentioned, I hope people are watching Stuff Made Here. If not, definitely check that channel out. Cool projects, epic engineering, usually tied together with code.

I stopped watching Stuff Made Here because he made me feel grossly inadequate :( (seeming as I used to be a professional roboticist briefly)

Thanks for the channel tips. I was able to find them all except for HAI. Link?

Maybe Half as Interesting (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuCkxoKLYO_EQ2GeFtbM_bw) ?

I assume that he meant "Half as Interesting". Which is Wendover Productions second channel with a different focus.
DaiPlusPlus
You are correct.

Wendover Productions just put out an awesome video on the downfall of the Concord and why things might be different this time:
