I was glad to upvote your follow-up question about better sources. I have not tried the Reddit group mentioned in the other reply you received, but the characteristics mentioned there sound helpful. I earlier posted a reply here on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4735122 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4735122 listing some of my favorite sources for science news. If I see a link (say, from my Facebook friends) from PhysOrg or ScienceDaily, I NEVER assume that it is worth submitting to Hacker News. (Longer story about that by request.) If the recycled press release looks interesting and plausible, I try looking up the name of the study author or key words from the study findings and see if I can find a better source.
