This is something i despise on HN. By normal standards, 10 points within 1 hour would've put this post on the front page. See for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24378758 , with 8 points on the 9th place at

Did you read Mach's Principle? It would not create free energy. And yes, it's quite probably people more specialized in this field would've asked this question before.

I find it quite hard to believe that this obvious question wasn't challenged by anyone. To me it is like questioning if any of the people involved prior to publishing this news are capable of solving 1+1. It's basic. I don't

Our company is degoogling by switching from angular to react, but of very profane causes: we don‘t trust them anymore based on their sunsetting history. Maybe that‘ll be the driving force. We’re a (by far) market leading B2C & B2B compa

Relativity implies that a moving clock experiences less passing time than a resting clock (relative to an observer). The "slowness"-factor gets higher the closer you get to light speed, reaching infinity (i.e. impossible) precisel

We need to start to understand as humankind that we're a pest to other life on this planet, be it animals, plants, naval lifeforms or anything else, us included (maybe except tardigrades, extremophiles and deep-sea creatures). We need

If i had to guess this would break thousands of obscure in-house excel sheets, crafted over decades, on which tens of thousands jobs and careers depend ;-) Which i guess is why Microsoft never fixes even quite obvious bugs in Excel, for exa

TL;DR: A black hole accretion disks' emissions appear to synchronously evoke gamma ray pulses from a gas cloud 100 light years away. The current (inconclusive) idea is, quoting: "Energetically, the outflow from the disc could be

> If you're nervous for ANY reason Agree, and also agree, it's insane. Still that's the presumed thinking behind it. The (anti-polygraph-myth) site I linked comes to a similar conclusion.

I'd guess that polygraph tests need belief into them working, thus making it work. Polygraphs should be able to (at least) measure nervousness correctly (e.g. due to transpiration), so if you believe polygraphs may work you're p

I don't get discussions like these at all. If I'd be inclined to "hate think" about BJP politicians, I'd be in circles propagating this stuff. I'd probably be quite thick, and I'd probably ignore (or treat

I'm not so sure this will hurt Amazon. I'd imagine if this decision holds (for more regions), Amazon will decide to stop acting as a platform for individual smaller businesses and focus on its own assortment. And since this decisi
