i know this is supposed to be a beginner textbook, but his discussion of infinitesimal geometry uses an awful amount of Scheme Theory to justify.

a lot at stake this year with a discussion of the foundations.

a lot of these protests such as "Occupy Wall Street" or "Black Lives Matter" have the right idea, but they are not sharp enough to be meaningful. Know your audience.

example 12, "Tiling a Rectangle by Squares" is rather unique; it was discussed in Stanislav Smirnov's Fields medal lecture in 2010

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaring_the_square

In his lecture he puts the square tilings in a rather serious context (the theory of electrical networks)

HIV is kind of like that too, when they circumvented CRISPR. I hear the nearest cure is decades away. Hopefully they have solved ad-blocking.

cases like these usually depend on who is making money in the event of a decision. business make money off advertisements, therefore it's free speech

whoa -- I didn't know geogebra could be put on the web

i like this book because it has certain time and resource constraints in mind. that maybe a typical professional programmer does not have. but maybe someone from another subject can learn.

this NLP might be missing perceptions on parts of different groups of listeners. Different cultures may correlate language and race / gender differently

i think it's no coincidence Godel's proof of uncountable reals, comes around the same time as Lebesgue integration. As mathematicians started exploring what the serious use of Fourier series

what will be your strategy for maintaining this library?

Telling the truth can be costly. Overwhelmingly we massage the facts to get the point across without causing too much damage. Textbook simplify a complicated facts for students, that is not lying. Commercials aren't lying because they aren't saying anything with a basis in fact.

While the majority of statements are neither true nor false, maybe we can quantify if a statement is closer to one or the other.

nope. I come from one of the world's producers of coffee, Puerto Rico. Starbucks give me a break. I've seen better stuff at in the grocery aisle.

can this help people who are trying to learn Hanzi of any kind, not just calligraphy?

i don't think the law will improve the information disparity. I think employers will quickly find ways around it as they always have and it will promptly be business as usual.

you will see...

keep telling yourself that... this law is bullshit

umm... laws like this don't last very long. employers quickly develop work arounds. I will be interested to see what hiring managers try (or fail).

i write particularly bad resumes (as my colleagues have told me) and I find resume critiques dreadful. A tool like that produces the basic item is truly helpful.

my favorite data science paradox is the "curse of dimensionality"

we have experienced droughts in Puerto Rico. this could likely lower our water prices as well.

it's so strange to see Victor Granville, there is also Andrew Granville and he writes professionally on patterns of the primes.

"Mathematicians Discover Prime Conspiracy" (Quanta Magazine, 2016)

A previously unnoticed property of prime numbers seems to violate a long-standing assumption about how they behave. https://www.quantamagazine.org/20160313-mathematicians-disco...

I haven't seen it yet... what's with that final four (common to all languages)?

it looks beautiful. sometimes applications like this are hesitant to share their source code b/c of their business model or something.

are there any good "hackable" web browsers these days?

terry tao has a great discussion of the entropy power inequality

I like pulling apart the different Chinese characters into the radicals.

can Python now be used instead of Java?

for example Go language, I heard is not a total substitute for Java for Android

is this an effective tool for beginners?

these formula books have been around for a long time. and you can generate your own!

a lot of people here are engineers? I wonder have you guys tried proving some of them?

one day I woke up and realized the mathematics curriculum is almost completely arbitrary. there is no reason to teach algebra, geometry, trigonometry in that order

by the middle of graduate school everyone is self-teaching and you may know more than a professor from time to time about a given topic. And certainly about the basics since professors forget to do basic integrals at the board.

any good study group has to retain momentum and keep the discussion moving forward.
