I didn't know this was something you weren't supposed to do. Seriously, if I could delete this link, I would. If this is a problem, I'll donate all proceeds to

    Let me see what I can do on my end. Again, I'm willing to give all proceeds to the PSF or whoever. Are there published guidelines on this or is this one of those unwritten rules I've stumbled into?

      Pretty sure it's an unwritten rule thing.

      It's general courtesy to provide the original link first, and then offer an affiliate link as an option. In a community suck as HN, anyhow. I don't have problem giving you commish by any means. Enjoy.

  No worries. I think it's usually considered bad form on news aggregators.

  That's very kind. I have a better suggestion though: How about you distribute the proceeds in proportion to the total points of authors with upvoted posts suggesting that people go any buy the book? My comment above has two points already! Even better - the algorithm you write could go into the 4th edition of the Cookbook :-) P.S. Everyone should go any buy the book. (I want this comment to count too!)
