Now James Maynard has upped the ante by presenting an independent proof that pushes the gap down to 600. A new Polymath project is in the planning stages, (...) to push the bound even lower.
Mankind had many thousands of years to try to do things before we had a written history, and everyone likes to believe those cultures were oblivious.
Oblivious means "lacking all memory; forgetful".
Insofar as such cultures lacked writing, they are indeed "oblivious", notwithstanding some form of oral transmission of knowledge such as "Thirty days hath September..."
If the US can't find sixty billion dollars a year to spend on airport security but can find one trillion dollars a year to spend on blowing the crap out of foreign countries, the US needs better accountants.
The US wouldn't need sixty billion dollars a year to spend on airport security if it stops spending one trillion dollars a year on blowing the crap out of foreign countries, the US needs better leaders.
Why have a middle man if they cannot offer any better deals or services? I understand it artificially creates jobs, but that seems like a horrible thing to force.
One gigantic warning label covering every square centimetre of San Francisco, listing all of the potential hazards you are exposed to by being anywhere near the place.
More than that: according to his logic, an "investment" should only count as such it is is successful. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine how you can possibly decide that, and when.

First there was the Streisand (unintentionally calling attention to what you don't want publicized),
then the reverse Streisand (intentionally calling attention by demanding suppression of ostensibly unwanted but actually desired publicity),
and now comes the meta-Streisand (unintentionally calling attention to intentional demands that caused unintentional publicity of what you didn't want publicized.)
Mathematically, an MP3 file is nothing more than a BIG number. Nothing more, nothing less.
You'll get no argument here from me. In fact, an arbitrarily large number of other big numbers (different MP3 encodings) would be considered the same song by a layman.
What I am looking for is a legal definition of 'work' in the context of copyright.
The US Copyright Office is mute on this question. In fact it begs the question, giving the following circular definituon of 'work for hire' (http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-definitions.html):
"The exception is a work made for hire, which is a work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her employment or a work specially ordered or commissioned in certain specified circumstances."

600 ought to be enough for anyone.
That's what you get for using DC in a car named after me, Elon!
The reason is that the weather station network covers only about 85% of the planet
What does that even mean?
and the world championship measures more your ability to present an impregnable wall of defensive ability and be unbeatable.
That would be Mayweather.

Worst headline ever.
It's OK to use it sometimes. Parabole on the other hand...

Well duh.... Since when has Occam's Razor been dead? Why do crackpot theories even get mentioned when the simplest explanation (meteor) is ignored?
Not dead, it's just that he decided to go five blades.

This does not just apply to vehicles.
Government is the biggest middleman of them all.

Does the No-Fly List consist of just strings ($NAME) or is it a set of unique records?
Actually, the opposite: "intelligence" functions by seeking to maximize entropy.
Don't you mean that intelligence "functions by seeking to maximize the entropic gradient"?

It's about what you spend it on.
If you spend it on capital goods that allow you to produce more, that's investment.
If you spend it on final use goods, that's consumption
Simple concepts: consumption is not production and not all spending is investment. And yet, look at how Gross Domestic Product is calculated.
GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government spending + (exports - imports)
This is racist against phones that aren't iPhones.
The iPhone is the only one with a retina display.

In fact, I'd love it if some tech billionaire had a private hit squad for just that purpose.

No one has been asking this question, at least until now: http://madisonian.net/2013/03/20/kirtsaeng-what-is-a-work/
The object of copyright is referred to a 'work'. I have not been able to find a coherent definition of a 'work'.
Is it a physical thing? Is it an immaterial form? Is it a sequence of bits?
