Although it's the same title as the article, it could be changed to something like "A student invents a portable fridge". Less clickbaity that way.

I think I came to the conclusion that 0.9999999... = 1 when I was 12 or 13. My reasoning was that for any n, we had 0 <= 1 - 0.999999... <= 10^(-n), so the difference had to be 0.

You mean, you want someone to explain to you a recent scientific paper about something? "Vulgarization as a service" or "crowd sourcing vulgarization", that might be an idea.

Where do you live? In all my adult life I've never been in a street fight, and must know like one or two persons who have once.

I you want to check the video I'd recommend to skip to approximately minute 13, as the beginning is pretty boring - 1 minute of musical introduction, then the hand of Edward Witten looking in his notes, and then some introduction in wh

Here in Spain I know a family that hired a young girl "au pair" (in their case a Polish girl who wanted to learn Spanish). The father told me they paid her about 400 euros/month + food and accommodation, so it's not some

I suspect the word "masturbation" triggers a spam filter that kills the comment containing it. If I'm right this comment will be dead :)

The first thing I did was to turn off the wifi on my kindle, so I don't have to deal with upgrades or ads. And somehow I can add my own .mobi file to my kindle via usb. I added pdfs I converted to .mobi that way (with some software I f

if your data are over [a,b], where a < 0 and b > 0, you can do the decomposition mentioned in the article over [-c,c], where c = min(|a|,|b|), so you don't need to extrapolate.

Yeah but those didn't come with the computers, you had to install them separately.

Why not write a blog post explaining your approach with some examples and mention on the page that you're available for a job/consulting job?

I had a look at your jsfiddle, and it looks to me that it's a bug in mathjs. I have the impression that mathjs doesn't parse well complex numbers (I can be wrong there), so why not spend 1 hour to try to fix that bug before consid

Might depend where you are based and when you go on IRC. I know that the Kivy team is based in Europe and tend to be online during working hours there. If you're based in the West coast for example you might log in only when they are a

Have you visited their irc chan on freenode (#kivy)? The people who created Kivy are there and very responsive - I remember one of them answering me on the 25th of December. Granted the community is small but I found the people there very l

I can see the value of using your mail from your company but I'm really afraid it would get treated as spam by the filters, and for that reason I tend to use gmail for contacting someone for startup related reasons.

Yes, the dot is completely optional, and I think it's one reason I got emails for other people. Senders wants to email to samuelle.something@gmail.com, somehow mistake it to samuelle@gmail.com and I end up being the recipient.
