Private Snafu in "Censored", war film from 1944

A number so large your head collapses into a black hole

jmzero says...

These are pretty pansy little numbers; sure they're kind of long, but they're computable. We know digits of this number.

If you want truly large numbers, you want to use the Busy beaver function. These are numbers for which we can say beautiful, absolute things like:

in the context of ordinary mathematics, neither the value nor any upper-bound of Σ(10↑↑10) can be proven


That is a majestic bloody number.

Bill Nye Realizes He Is Talking To A Moron

mizila says...

>> ^Grimm:

Honorable mention should also go to the bimbo at the end. "maybe a little number movin around..."


No no no no no. Get your quote right.

"...maybe a couple of number movin' around... (might be able to help this debt limit thing)."

You can tell after Fox guy asks the global warming question Bill Nye realizes the error in using his I'm-talking-to-worthwhile-adults voice and switches to his I'm-teaching-third-graders voice.

"Best comment I have seen on my video since the time its been on... Why can't there be more people on videosift like you?"

tyvm! but be careful what you wish for. an honest critique, can be as valuable as an 'attaboy.

i'd just rather provide one of those, though, for the most part.
the other is more difficult. to give, and to receive.

"...downvoted this video so far didn't pay attention to the description."

oh, i think they did. just, they didn't think it was funny.
like i said, in my link there, to this bit.

the feather either tickles or it don't. can't fake it, can't predict it.

In reply to this comment by my15minutes:
^ well, i wouldn't go that far, but...

yeah. i got a few chuckles out of it.
if i fuckin' lose it, at the sight of this little number, then yeah.

this nonsense is worth it, too.

Best comment I have seen on my video since the time its been on... Why can't there be more people on videosift like you? After all I did say "nothing is suppose to make sense" and the three people how have downvoted this video so far didn't pay attention to the description...

Siftquisition: Quantumushroom (Sift Talk Post)

oxdottir says...

I think this is becoming popular. Perhaps I said something particularly reprehensible in this thread; I don't know. I do know that I suddenly dropped more than 50 votes. Right now I can look at the rankings, and I am at 2611 votes, and the person behind me is at 2663. That is, siftbot hasn't redone the rankings since my vote count dropped from above 2663 to 2611. Perhaps someone was taking me at my word that I would still feel that way even if someone went on a downvote rampage.

On the other hand, I haven't found any new downvotes, and I didn't have a video discarded. I did do some * kills of discarded videos, but if that affected vote counts, there is a bug.

Not that I care about the little numbers so much, but because this is either an interesting, and sort of unfriendly, occurrence, or a bug. One way or another.

Ahh. Wasn't sure of your point when you pointed to that other discussion. Now I follow what you mean. Don't necessarily agree, but follow.

>> ^jonny: I'd like to remind everyone of this previous talk post concerning downvotes.
It sounds like you're suggesting that maybe it was all a coincidence.


Oh come on Lucky. Deathcow downvoted 8 of Anliz's vids in a row. Everyone on that thread knew damn well it wasn't a "statistical coincidence". The answer to Anliz was basically deal with it and don't get so hung up on those little numbers next to your name. Which is I think, the correct answer. I've had a stalker revenge downvoting me since october. So what if the idiot doesn't get it. No amount of my explaining that that breaks the system will change a brat's behavior. Get over it and get on with it.

The Myth of the Liberal Media

qruel says...

For those that would like more insight to the myth of the liberal media, I present several books on the subject. there are of course books that look at it from the opposite angle (that the media really is liberal). I'll post about those books when the video comes up on VS.

Guardians of Power: The Myth of the Liberal Media
by David Edwards (Author), David Cromwell (Author), John Pilger (Foreword)

The Myth of the Liberal Media: An Edward Herman Reader
by Edward S. Herman (Author)

Book Description
The Myth of the Liberal Media contends that the mainstream media are parts of a market system and that their performance is shaped primarily by proprietor/owner and advertiser interests. Using a propaganda model, it is argued that the commercial media protect and propagandize for the corporate system. Case studies of major media institutions?the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Philadelphia Inquirer?are supplemented by detailed analyses of "word tricks and propaganda" and the media's treatment of topics such as Third World elections, the Persian Gulf War, the North American Free Trade Agreement, the fall of Suharto, and corporate junk science.
"Edward Herman's invaluable studies of the media in market-oriented democracies find their natural place in the broader sweep of contemporary history. Herman quotes James Madison's observation in later life that 'a popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or tragedy, or perhaps both.' The observation is apt; formal guarantees of personal freedom do not suffice to prevent the farce or the tragedy, even if the guarantees are observed. These issues, explored and illuminated in (these) essays . . ., should be at the center of the concerns of those who seek to create a society that is more free and more just." From the Preface by Noam Chomsky

What Liberal Media?: The Truth About Bias and the News (Paperback)
by Eric Alterman (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The incredulity begins with the title What Liberal Media?, journalist Eric Alterman's refutation of widely flung charges of left-wing bias, and never lets up. The book is unlikely to make many friends among conservative media talking heads. Alterman picks apart charges made by Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, George Will, Sean Hannity, and others (even the subtitle refers to a popular book by former CBS producer Bernard Goldberg that argues a lefty slant in news coverage). But the perspectives of less-incendiary figures, including David Broder and Howard Kurtz, are also dissected in Alterman's quest to prove that not only do the media lack a liberal slant but that quite the opposite is true. Much of Alterman's argument comes down to this: the conservatives in the newspapers, television, talk radio, and the Republican party are lying about liberal bias and repeating the same lies long enough that they've taken on a patina of truth. Further, the perception of such a bias has cowed many media outlets into presenting more conservative opinions to counterbalance a bias, which does not, in fact, exist, says Alterman. In methodically shooting down conservative charges, Alterman employs extensive endnotes, all of which are referenced with superscript numbers throughout the body of the book. Those little numbers seem to say, "Look, I've done my homework." What Liberal Media? is a book very much of 2003 and will likely lose some relevance as political powers and media arrangements evolve. But it's likely to be a tonic for anyone who has suspected that in a media environment overflowing with conservatives, the charges of bias are hard to swallow. For liberals hoping someone will take off the gloves and mix it up with the verbal brawlers of the right, Eric Alterman is a champion.
