Then how would we have dinosaur bones from 65 million years ago +?

Most professional archaeologists/anthropologists do ask the indigenous people and do listen. Sure there are always some people who are attention seekers, but the majority do good science and leverage indigenous knowledge. That said, you overestimate how much the people can know. They don’t have ground penetrating memory, and the Maya people have always been far from one united nation but closer to a collection of city-states with some shared cultural traits.

Furthermore, most of the classic Mayan sites were long ago abandoned so it isn’t like there are indigenous people hanging out around Ti’kal or Calak’mul that can just spill the entire history.

Any competent Mayanist would have told you the same as that person in Belize. It is no secret the landscape is dotted with unexcavated ruins, but the scope is unclear which is exactly why this research is so useful.

The old joke goes, How do you make a small fortune in the aviation industry? Start with a big one.

Which is why it isn't aimed at "most people."

"It suddenly appears self-driving cars are no safer than human driven cars," says the guy who just read an article about a crash caused by a human while a self-driving car was not at fault.

They don't pay them a wealthy sum when their actions lowered Verizon's buying price by billions. If you crunch the numbers, there is a 0% chance Marissa did this 100% voluntarily with no pressure on her.

Really long. It will still have to get lucky, or at least avoid being unlucky. This is why amateurs routinely crash the final table instead of just pros.

It's definitely the audio jack, but you can use it for a mic, I just don't understand how it can record you without a mic plugged in. Thus my honest question.

Why did he also have his audio jack taped over?

TL DR April Fools

Blackjack you will lose the longer you play. It's math. A top DFS player can consistently play profitably.

I lose confidence in guys like Oliver and Jon Stewart, because the few times they talk about a subject I actually know very well, they make misinformed points that betray their lack of research/experience in that field.

From my own experience, poker and DFS involve about the same level of skill and study to be consistently profitable. DFS just scales more easily. You said, "In poker you play the player, not the hand. But in DFS, there is no equivalent." There actually is an equivalent. If you study DFS, you'll find that there's a cottage industry in figuring out what players will be most popularly owned in a given slate and then using that information to increase your own EV (e.g. in a tournament, if you projected Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton to score the same number of points but 80% of people would play Rodgers then you would want to play Cam Newton because if he does go off big time then you now ahead of 80% of your competitors).
