The problem with this approach is that although you reduced procrastination you basically eliminated most useful search results. Searching without adding 'reddit' or 'wikipedia' yields 99% spam

What scientific research values the most is references and being able to read them. What tech values the least is the ability to access two years old blogposts

I wonder if the ad bombardment we are suffering for some years now will eventually reach a critical point to trigger mass exodus or protests. TV got annoying with ads and viewership greatly decreased but that was caused by the emergence of

True, my comment was a bit loaded but 'shit' in my comment was not really mean excrements... I used it to mean 'problems' in a hard, loaded way like 'This is the shit I have to deal with' with some parallels to

People are willing to put up with a lot if it means they don't give anything to someone that doesn't deserve it. 'I will walk through a pile of shit before my money is used for you to shit somewhere else you lazy fuck'

>because there is a very real difference from a photon going from the Sun to the Earth, to a photon going from the Sun to Jupiter. Not from the photon's point of view. This is very crucial and it is not because of notation or maths.

Emergence of chaos in differential equations is pretty much one of the frontiers of pure mathematics

I fully agree, I'm not blaming him. It is interesting though that maths was taught for a 1000 years from Euclid's Elements, Euclid living approximately at the same time as Aristotle, and it is still as valid today as it was 2000 y

This is survivorship bias. They 'knew' it only retrospectively, they also 'knew' a lot of different incorrect theories. In some sense one could argue that Aristotle halted the progress of physics for about a thousand yea

I browse pics at r/WeWantPlates. Reddit is great for that as long as old.reddit.com works, NSFW subreddits are also great link aggregators for specific niches. Other than that I don't know why would anyone want to be there
