  1. Re: Caution on Mosquitoes Genetically Modified To Crash Species That Spreads Malaria (npr.org) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's not that simple. There is a huge insects decline everywhere, mostly in developed countries, except mosquitoes (they don't rely much on other insects, and love human proximity). In countries where malaria is a problem, the idea is to get rid of only one (maybe a couple of) mosquito breed(s), the ones that transmit the disease. That shouldn't have an important impact on the ecosystem there.

  2. Re:Possible, but unlikely on Famed Mathematician Claims Proof of 160-Year-Old Riemann Hypothesis (soylentnews.org) · · Score: 1

    The guy is just being modest.

    Indeed, he proved it at 20, 70 years ago, and decided to publish it only now.

  3. Not sure how they achieved this, but SN navigation, design, and general ergonomics are even worse than on slashdot.

  4. Was he a "sir" before that, or was he "sired" because he proved that?

  5. Could be true since we read a very similar story 9 months ago.

  6. Right... 100 billion asteroids out there.. But this one has aliens on it....

    And out of those 100 billion asteroids, how many have been visited by humans?

  7. or they found something amazing that cannot be revealed yet to the average citizen.

  8. Re:A line of reasoning near the end of the proof.. on Titans of Mathematics Clash Over Epic Proof of ABC Conjecture (quantamagazine.org) · · Score: 2

    Well, to comprehend page 500 you have first to understand the 499 previous pages, which is why the flaw "near the end" is hard to spot.

  9. Previous article, Octopus, now Oculus, next is something on Oculyst?

  10. Re:The people wrong must be banned from Math on Titans of Mathematics Clash Over Epic Proof of ABC Conjecture (quantamagazine.org) · · Score: 1

    ...and everyone wrong here should be banned on slashdot?

    Ban is too strong. Right: +10 points, wrong: -2

  12. "We can access your sites, feeding you with tons of our personal data, from which you make huge money without a bit of ethical consideration therefore they must comply with -- to prevent more privacy outbreaks"

    FTFY.

  13. Re:EU needs to knock FB TFO on Facebook Could Face EU Sanctions If It Doesn't Change Its TOS (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    But the EU is AT LEAST equal in how terrible it is.

    Again, GDPR. If you see anything detrimental to the end user in this, you're probably working for FB (...).

    Someone throw an icy snow ball at whomever posted this...

    Not sure where you live, but most countries don't expect any snow before a couple months...

  21. Re:Maezawa's moving to the Moon on SpaceX Will Send Japanese Billionaire Yusaku Maezawa Around the Moon (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually he does not go to the moon, he’s flying around the moon, like orbiting. Since he does this already every day around the Sun, he wanted to do something less boring.

  22. Based on his email, he probably already started a therapy.

  23. Would be worrying I guess, but indeed, what a fantastic journey!

  24. Re:Don't really care about who on SpaceX Says It Signed First Private Passenger To the Moon (nbcnewyork.com) · · Score: 1

    Just wonder how his/her heirs convinced him/her to sign.

  25. First probable cause on FBI Mysteriously Closes New Mexico Observatory (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Alien conspiracy theories are swirling", which is, from the set of probable causes the most unlikely reason by far. Instead of fantasizing, would be more interesting to list a few of the likely causes.
