	tl;dr: Summary not available
	HN Discussion: ~Cautious interest, noting single events often disappear with more data but methodology seems sound ↓Media is overhyping preliminary findings that scientists themselves are cautious about ↓Dark matter research is a waste of money and resources ↑Excitement about ongoing scientific mystery and hope this leads to real discovery ↓Skepticism about particle physics' endless demand for ever-bigger detectors
