Content isn't king 9 years ago

Canistream.it exists. Most popular content is part or totally exclusive. Content is still king.

The unfortunate pattern in pop science is the hero complex: the journalist learns about a field and feels a need to give all the credit to one person or small team, and to five them an adversary, to make the story seem dramatic, revolutionary, yet accessible. The real stories are too large and complex to make exciting in a quick read to a layperson.

These "proofs without words",that are algebric proofs ith a little illustration,don't deserve the name. Most elementary arithmetic don't use words, they is arithmetic.a good proof without words lays out all the pieces of a problem more compactly than the arithmetic derivation -- for example a proof of Pythagorean theorem that is just a square with lines drawn across it.
