Because the media aren't posting comments on here, whereas you are. But less flippantly, I went over that here. Journalists were told by sources they ...

That, contrary to your claim, it isn't just gossip.

It wasn't credible enough for him to do anything, but was proved enough to worry him, and was credible enough that the Trump administration did someth...

I'm not using any euphemism. I'm using the exact word that O'Brien and McKenzie used.

It was credible enough to spend months preparing options and to brief allies and to worry that general.

You said " wasn’t raised to attention because it wasn’t credible intel and could not be corroborated. It’s gossip. So it’s no surprise opponents have ...

He didn't say that the Russia bounties is a hoax. He says that "we've been working for several months on options for the President". I don't think the...

I'll quote myself from last week as you seem to have forgotten: It's more than gossip.

Not when the position you're trying to refute is a position that says that some contradictions are true.

Married men don't need to wear a wedding band and bachelors can if they like. And neither needs to be doing "married" or "bachelor" things to be marri...

So I can't draw a married man who isn't wearing a ring or a bachelor who is?

Then you're just begging the question by asserting that contradictions are impossible. That's not a refutation of dialetheism, it's just a denial of i...

So now you're saying that things can only be the case if they can be drawn? What about dark matter? And how would a drawing of a bachelor, a married m...

You're begging the question then. You were using the fact that we can't picture married-bachelors and square-circles as proof that they can't be real,...

I'm not sure what you mean by "exactly" as you haven't resolved the inconsistency of your position. I was addressing this: You seem to be saying that ...

What do you mean by symbolize? How does it differ from picturing? It's not just about being able to say the words is it? As you said before "the fact ...

And on the other side I can picture impossible objects like a Penrose triangle, so looking to what we can or can't imagine just doesn't seem like the ...

There are more stars in the universe than I can picture at any one time, yet presumably they still all exist at the same time. Our brains/minds are po...

The effect isn't the cause. The map isn't the territory. The woman isn't the painting of the woman. If you want to say that things can only be the cas...

Then you're contradicting yourself. Here you claimed that things can't be the case if we can't picture them in our mind, and now you're saying that th...

This doesn't answer my question. Can you picture a cup without just picturing how a cup appears to us? Can you picture just the innate nature of the c...

So you can picture the way a cup is, irrespective of its appearance?

So you're an idealist now? Or are you saying that cups have some innate appearance, irrespective of what they look and feel like to us?

Do you think that this undermines realism? Can you picture a cup without picturing the look of a cup, or the feel of a cup, i.e. how a cup is experien...

Are you saying that things can only be the case if we can picture them in our mind?

I don't think this is quite the right interpretation (at least with respect to "Banno likes vanilla ice cream"). It's not that the truth of a statemen...

If the left and right sides were different then they wouldn't be equal. What do you think the equals sign is? You don't seem to understand the differe...

So you understand the importance of journalists reporting on non-public information and keeping their sources anonymous? They ought not be dismissed j...

I think the story, and source protection, is more important. Whether or not Russia is paying bounties and whether or not Trump was briefed matters far...

So skipping right to 2030?

I'll just comment on this. You're right that decimal representation is exclusive to base 10 because that's what the word "decimal" means. Poor wording...

It is true. You just don't understand maths. If 9_{10}=10_{9} then \frac{1}{9_{10}}=\frac{1}{10_9} If fractions bother you then we can use exponents i...

According to this, "some of Trump’s own senior intelligence officials viewed the information as credible enough to warn the Pentagon and allies so the...

\frac{1}{10} = 0.1. This is equivalent to \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 in base 10. Nine hasn't been excluded as a number. There are nine apples in the picture ab...

There is no problem. If you accept that 9 in base 10 and 10 in base 9 are the very same number (which they are), then you must accept that \frac{1}{9}...

And do you understand what bases are? Do you understand that 9 in base 10 and 10 in base 9 are the very same number? To explain that, let's count the ...

It's \frac{1}{10} = 0.1. I'm just specifying that I'm using base 9 numerals instead of the traditional base 10. Although in this case it isn't strictl...

And as we've tried to explain, it isn't a problem. \frac{1}{10_9} = 0.1_9 Is there a problem with the number 0.1_9?

It doesn't have its own numbers. It has its own numerals. 1111 in binary, F in hexadecimal, and XV in Roman numerals aren't different numbers to 15 in...

It's been mentioned before but it's worth mentioning again. \frac{1}{9} in base 10 is equal to \frac{1}{10} in base 9, so 0.111... in base 10 is equal...

Mathematicians aren't making mistakes. \frac{1}{9} is a number and 0.999...=1. If you don't understand this then you don't understand mathematics. I s...

The bigger story right now is the Russia bounties. Even the Republicans are speaking out against this. Given their response to the Benghazi attack, I ...

So it's just you against the world of mathematics. If that can't convince you that your views are the problem, not mathematics, then I don't think any...

I thought we were discussing the accuracy of tim's claim that "all mathematics is addition"? I don't know about all maths but that seems to be the cas...

Negative numbers are not the same thing as subtraction. Negative numbers are defined as the additive inverse of the positive numbers, and then subtrac...

From here: And exponents can be defined by muliplications and multiplications by additions.

\underbrace{y+...+y}_y=-\frac{1}{2} Solve for y.

\frac{1}{9} = 0.111..._{10} = 0.1_{9}
