In the context of a news headline the decision to use the word "mysterious" and "detected" obviously implies a different kind of significance than the inherent mystery in all things. Other comments in this thread already

"Surely"? This is only a few days after a change of administration along with sweeping government changes. Don't you think it's worth asking questions a little more deeply than this?

We could definitely improve the arrangement of chairs on the deck of the Titanic, but we can't even get 50% of the country to recognize the most obvious grift in American history.

I think it's great that you didn't really have a stomach for the absurd level of noise and flashing lights, but I just don't think it's a moral victory that people should necessarily strive for.

I do believe there's an intended interpretation or "point", and that's what I'm commenting on. Do you disagree with this?

It got me to think and engage, so already I think it succeeds at being a great piece of art. But is "overstimulation" ... "bad", according to the overall message? Is this game, livestreamer Ludwig, and all the achievemen

This is a fun clicker game whose point seems cynical and self-defeating on multiple levels. Despite the HN comments complaining about it being overwhelming and a dark reflection of how awful and distracting the internet is, clearly enough p

This makes me really curious how quickly German has actually evolved over time. My assumptions would be entirely informed from extrapolating from historical context and not knowing anything about German. So there was probably a lot of lingu

Hm... some articles are saying "largest new" and others just "largest". I don't think it's the largest but maybe it depends on what we mean by "geothermal development". The article quotes 400 MW and 1

The clear implication of this headline is that pesticide research was deliberately covered up. A few paragraphs in the writer makes it obvious that faceless corporations are to blame. Here's the lede: >Only four papers and posters t

There's no good reason to think it's not phones. The article kind of rejects this out of hand but I think it's mostly because that doesn't make for an article that touches on all the other topics the author wanted to wri

If there's really a "recent panpsychist turn in philosophy", then my first thought wouldn't be that philosophers spent a long time thinking about it so maybe the sun really is alive, it's that maybe the institution
