I’ll give you your references. Will have to read later.

I’ve seen the reports. I highly doubt any of the arm chair statisticians (who have never taken a day of mathematical or proof-level stats) have a clue what they are talking about. The polls’ histories and lean are factored into 538’s averages. They are not new to this.

And how many polls are left leaning? The graph posted a couple of days ago on midwest claims 35% are right leaning, and a correlation with the drop in support for Harris. What it doesn’t say is the proportion of democratic polls, and there really isn’t a correlation over the length of history shown.

Hard to make informed decisions when half the information is hidden. (But arm chair statisticians don’t recognize the issue do they?)

Lol at people downvoting what they don’t want to hear.

Credibility: High - Factual Reporting: High

On a positive note, Harris is still leading 4/7 swing states in the WaPo averages: https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2024/presidential-polling-averages/

Ugh. I blame it on autocorrect and swipe.

Yes, absolutely Serbian. You can tell because of the way they are.

That dog doesn’t look trained at all. Like they just grabbed a random shepherd from the neighborhood to keep up appearances.

• Despite sanctions, Russia adapts by engaging with strategic partners like China to circumvent restrictions.

• China has replaced Western nations as a major supplier of goods to Russia, with trade between the two reaching $240 billion in 2023. In 2021, the total trade between the two countries was approximately $147 billion.

• Specific exports from China to Russia include CNC machines, semiconductors, microelectronics, ball bearings, nitrocellulose, drones, and construction equipment.

• The Sino-Russian relationship has deepened, with both nations criticizing the U.S. and increasing their cooperation.

Bottom line: China don’t care. But we knew this already.

Iranian cyber actors’ use of brute force and other techniques to compromise organizations across multiple critical infrastructure sectors, including the healthcare and public health (HPH), government, information technology, engineering, and energy sectors.

It seems they’ve abstracted the term “critical infrastructure” to refer to the organizations that perform critical functions within society, not necessarily the networks running nuclear power plants.

But also, commercial entities don’t exactly have access to NSA encryptors.. so your alternative is to disconnect everything. And that’s not feasible.

Does he mean she was on a mission in a different way than he was, with all of Fox’s dubious assertions inextricably tied to each of his questions?

This headline is terrible. I have nothing good to say about the police either.

Dunk your computer in water first, then the rice will have more effect.

Dead meet. Heh.

Perfect timing for my new year of cheap sirius radio. I honestly never signed up for a promo before because I knew how difficult canceling was.

Okay, which one is missing?

Summary: In 2022, Carolina Figueiredo discovered collisions involving three different subatomic particles produced identical outcomes, suggesting a hidden connection between seemingly unrelated particle theories. This finding supports the idea that space-time and quantum mechanics are approximations of deeper, abstract principles. Her advisor, Nima Arkani-Hamed, had previously discovered a geometric object called the “amplituhedron,” but Figueiredo’s discovery points to a new method, “surfaceology,” which simplifies particle interactions without relying on traditional Feynman diagrams.

The traditional way of understanding particle collisions uses Feynman diagrams to track all possible particle paths, which is mathematically intensive. Surfaceology offers a more efficient and direct way to arrive at the same predictions without needing to track these countless possibilities, allowing physicists to see the results of collisions more clearly and directly.

Surfaceology may eventually bypass the need for space-time as a fundamental concept in physics. This hints at a potential new understanding of quantum gravity and the origins of the universe, and echoes past revolutionary changes in physics.

I thought it was a slice of pie.

I don’t think it’s hilarious. I think he got his name in the news again, and here we are talking about him.
