   The article is quite clear that this formulation of the problem has been around for a while and did not lead to a proof until Huang had his special insight. > Huang knew, as did the broader research community, that the sensitivity conjec

   It looked old and smelled funky thirty years ago. So unless you're extending the definition of "young" well into middle age, not really.

   There's a patrol at Beachy Head in the UK too. https://bhct.org.uk/ . I know I'll get downvoted for this but I feel a little resentful that they would seek to deny me peace in my final moments.

   Not sure what sense to make of this: that in anything serious these days (World War III?) it is either overrun or obliterated ( would be either overrun or obliterated?) I tried clicking on your link to help me understand but it's to a

    This was a real research paper. The result would have been extremely interesting to any mathematician tempted to work on the conjecture. You can check it by tapping those numbers into a calculator—the search itself need never be performed a

    > there's also commonly social housing in those sorts of locations I never noticed this. Is there some reason for it or just your general impression?

    I don't understand this comment. You've thought up some good reasons, so why the mystery?

    Do people come directly to you for information on your area of expertise? For me it seems they haven't done as much than I'd expect, but I can't say for sure if that's because they don't like me or because my expert

    Do you really believe that a person's comprehension of the world must be tied so irreversibly to the land they grew up on? There were some similarly condescending comments in a recent thread about the Master and Margarita. Personally I

    Corner shop economics is not a model for a nation. I take it you are still working from Reinhart and Rogoff. > The deficit is already 2% of GDP and they're £1.7 trillion in debt. This after ten years of austerity. It's not what
