To complicate matters, not all iron should be considered equal per units mass, some forms of iron are considerably more bio-available, and in general the forms provided as suppleme…

I believe this to be a reference to a quote from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

And the previous HN discussion on this exact topic had some good notes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9003898

Angular 4/5 is simply the continuation of Angular 2, so it's more like 2/4/5. The Angular router had been up to a major version 3 so they skipped Angular 3 as a whole in the intere…

Exactly that, though, the placebo effect of interest would only be induced on people who haven't tripped. That aside, and of course accepting that states induced by psilocybin and …

This study is attempting to show that psilocybin is effective in treating depression, not effective in inducing a 'trip'. For patients who have never experimented with psychotropic…

Since when is grace relevant at all? It's pretty apparent how effective Fox News is, graceful or not.

Evolution doesn't code for just optimal . During the time that we were actually evolving, there existed pressure, for example, to optimize our use of the small amount of food that …

As with most renewables (e.g., wind, solar, wave), I would imagine that just because production of energy outpaced its consumption on a given day, the same may not be true on any o…

Conkeror is a standalone browser (not to be confused with KDE's Konqueror) I've been using with a similar mission, though I look forward to trying this out and take advantage of Fi…

Many of the normal rules aren't implemented (flips in the air, jumping off of rocks if you click at the right time, etc.).

There is also a similarly titled, much longer (92 pages vs. 29 pages) introduction to tensors by the same author, also hosted by NASA, and released ~3 years later: Foundations of T…

The Drake Equation[0] is probably the most famous attempt at a "resolution" to the Fermi paradox and I haven't seen any that realistically try to implement a term involving the lik…

It definitely is, and is a powerful tool in the determination of mass for very massive galaxies and galactic clusters. That being said, I don't think this contradicts anything I me…

Neutral hydrogen in space is actually quite readily observed via radio telescopes as the famous spin-flip 21cm line. This signal has been very useful in mapping the distribution of…

To start off, nothing about dark matter contradicts GR. All contemporary cosmological models of the Universe, which are constructed from GR, include dark matter. The "surprise" tha…

Can't get it to work, e.g., for `hn.top_stories()` I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File " ", line 1, in File "hackernews.py", line 23, in top_stories return r.json() Type…

This reminds me of a comment[0] by a math grad student, Chao Xu, who extended markdown documents parsed by pandoc to ennumerate Proofs, Lemmas, etc., leading to blog posts that fee…
