- dang 12y agoThanks. Since the posted URL (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/08/13/a-woman-wins-nobel-prize-of-math-for-the-first-time/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/08/13...) is news that was prominent on HN yesterday, we've changed the url to this much more substantive article, which wasn't.
- triplesec 12y agoGreat stuff and nice idea! I subsequently found that the discussion on the previous article included this and profiles of the other winners from the same site. Great site in general.
- Varcht 12y agoThis is a much better link. I posted the original with the the thought that there was some irony that all of the top news articles on the subject (as rated by google news) were completely without substance as to Maryam's accomplishments and only were pointing out that she was a women that does some stuff with curved surfaces. I thought the conversation might follow my observations. I have to say that I admire Maryam very much. I love her tenacity and abstract approach.
