I am probably missing something obvious, but why is he "the admiral"?

Usernames must start with a letter? That is an odd requirement. I usually pad my username with zeroes when sites dont let me choose dfc. Out of curiosity why the constraint?

As I read that page I became less and less interested in reading the book. That's one of the worst book reviews I have ever read, its hard to belive it made it to the frontpage of HN.

Umm, I never said anything about why people wait. The comment/sentence I was replying to was about the purpose of Scientific journals.

You should check out "War of the Whales" if you are interested in the interaction between whales and naval training exercises.

The fact that you failed to even give lip service to peer review is strange maybe speaks to your understanding of professional science.

Did you read the article? The article seems to demonstrate that the scientist behind the publication wants to wait to discuss the details of the stranding until the paper is released: "She declined to disclose the conclusions, which w

Maybe they found evidence for a red tide related stranding? And/Or they did imaging of the whales ear canals?

Does "elementary school" mean something other than school for 5-11 year olds in other countries? I am having trouble imagining 10 year old me being concerned with a font's "inelegant spacing and minimal kerning."

I think you will find that one of the nice things about HN is that most people have read or skimmed the linked article before commenting. The book is explicitly mentioned in the second paragraph of the article and is alluded to in the epigr

In case were not aware of the movie release after reading the epigraph of the linked article?

I am not trying to be rude but I really don't know what you are trying to say. Yes, if I understand the study you linked to, as long as i take the supplement or drizzle fish oil on my pizza I could eat a totally unbalanced diet of raw

Did you notice how the comments had links to more information from sources more reputable than xyz@HN? If you genuinely want to help people and are providing sound medical advice you should include the scientific literature supporting your

I have heard this from a couple of people but I have never seen any studies to support this folk-medicine remedy for clinical depression. Do you have any literature pointers?

What is the deal with insidesources.com? Something feels a "little off" after browsing the rest of the site. It feels like a undercover PR machine for someone or some group. It also seems like they hate copy editors.

I am confused, the wikipedia article you link to says "In October 2010, the postmortem—including the pathologist's 14-page report and the six-page toxicology report—was made public, re-iterating the conclusion of the Hutton repor

If you thought the video was horrible, you most likely viewed the video without Ad0day Flash. With no flash plugin you get a sweet 400x224 video, its reminiscent of realvideo from the 90s.

Whenever people talk about behavior/treatment of UDP traffic I consider DNS as a special case. I have no idea how AWS handles UDP but I will never use DNS as a generalizable example of UDP traffic.

I don't think this once per paragraph rule is much of a rule. It might be a useful for adjectives and adverbs but that is it. PS synonymous words = synonyms

You "would probably aim to make" your own tools for this sort of thing? And you are also asking how much "hot work" is needed to refashion a farrier's rasp into an adze? Something does not add up.
