> The other thing with math is the fact that you can get completely scooped and your work is worthless

Why math specifically? One would think this applies in virtually all fields.

That's not the only war being drummed up:

"Among the members of the global alliance dedicated to destroying the American-led order, Iran is the most vulnerable. The job of the U.S. is to defang it." [0]

"With negotiations likely to fail, [Biden] better be prepared for a military strike [on Iran]." [1]

> Only a true crisis or truly hard times will alleviate this mess we are in.

At this point, this true crisis will probably be a civil war. We already have politicians calling for a national divorce. [0]

Awesome textbook. My OS professor in college switched from the dinosaur book to this book to alleviate some financial burden for students.

It would be incredible if trigonometry classes had a lab component where students work on a 2D game, such as tower defense.

I ended up taking a fun programming elective in college where my team did exactly that -- we created a 2D game. That experience made me appreciate trigonometry more than my high school teachers and Khan Academy ever did.

I've found that depending on that "key part", you can actually offload the task to another process (written in C/C++/Rust) via RPC. The end result was a significant performance improvement.

What about "trolls farms" [0]?

Why are Paxos and/or Raft considered superior for distributed systems?

25% of American Jews call Israel an apartheid state [0]. Are those Jews anti-semitic as well?

Israel also doesn't like it when the U.S. criticizes other human rights abusers, such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt [1].

When Ben and Jerry's boycotts the West Bank due to Israel's illegal settlements, the Israeli president calls it terrorism, and claims it is a boycott against Israel [0].

When people ask why Palestinians living in the West Bank are treated abhorrently, where they cannot use the same roads as Israelis, they cannot use the same legal system as Israelis, etc. Israelis claim that the West Bank is not a part of Israel.

As a Jew that grew up believing Israel is righteous and can do no wrong, I have had quite the rude awakening. I am not alone -- 25% of American Jews now believe Israel is an apartheid state [1]. Even young evangelicals are no longer blindly embracing Israel [2].

Try Khan Academy. The exercises (especially with how they focus on mastery), coupled with the videos will help you root out your weak points and even master them. Do not be ashamed in starting with the kindergarten math topics and moving upwards from there. If you are able to power through it, good on you. If you get stuck on something, even better -- now is your chance to master it.

KA helped me go from hating math in high school to double majoring in Math & CS in college, and graduating with honors. I donate to KA now.

There's an app for that:

> "No one is giving away their tools which make their competitive advantage"

This hits close to home. Back in college, I developed software, for a lab, for a project-based class. I put the code up on GitHub under the GPL license (some code I used was licensed under GPL as well), and when the people from the lab found out, they lost their minds. A while later, they submitted a paper and the journal ended up demanding the code they used for analysis. Their solution? They copied and pasted pieces of my project they used for that paper and submitted it as their own work. Of course, they also completely ignored the license.
