I've got no love for NPR, but as a result of the comments here I've had to do some self-reflection, and keep coming back to that saying about a table with ten people and that story about the bartender who kicked a dude out.

@dang please ban this account.

Huh, I wonder if climatologists might have based their analyses on more than just this single time series. No way of knowing.

For example, cooking meth.

You've never donated to your local npr/pbs station?

He's been dead for 104 years, where's the piracy?

Do they not teach the concept of linear time anymore?

> If published someone like Terrence Tao could write formal proofs for them like he and his team did some improvements for the work by Yitang Zhang.

From the second paragraph:

> George Andrews and Bruce C. Berndt (2005, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2018) have published several books in which they give proofs for Ramanujan's formulas included in the notebook

I'm not really sure there's a singular "now" that encompasses both here and there.

> ...vertebrate...Before machine-mediated transportation— trains, planes, boats and cars—individuals were likely to be exposed to the majority of pathogens in their local geography by the time of reproductive age

This hypothesis would be testable by looking at migrating animals, such as gray whales or arctic terns.

Are you of an age to remember a certain variety of picture in National Geographic? Assuming those ladies knew they were being photographed and were ok with it being published, where does that land in your flowchart?

I think if you thought the post was worth making in the first place it's a matter of personal integrity to keep it up even in the face of pushback, downvotes, or flagging.

Not all consensual photographs of ladies with their tits out are porn of any kind.

> Gotta love how women's breasts are simultaneously "softcore porn" and "women's rights", all depending on the type of news/propaganda utilized.

Very strange. It's almost as if the settings in which humans operate require "nuance" and "complexity" and "context" to understand and can't be navigated with a flowchart.

> cheap enough to not care about

You can get a ten pack of 16gb drives for $25, which after inflation is in the ballpark of what I remember floppies costing 30 years ago.
