Or you just let websites price their content as they please. Like every other business does. Your though experiment makes about as much sense as pricing groceries by weight. Buying 10L of water and one 100g stake. With your method pay the w

I find it's the over 105 IQ set that's the problem. Especially when they find out IQ has nothing to do with success.

I am Bulgarian, but thanks for being offended on my behalf for what I said about myself.

I am Bulgarian. The "push for gender equality" under communism is largely misunderstood, and purposefully so, in the West. As an example the entrance exams for primary school teachers were more competitive than the exams for any o

It also has the highest rates of prostitution and human trafficking of women. Turns out all you need to make tech attractive to women is to reduce the wages of every other job they might enjoy more to below starvation levels.

PyPy in general has much better performance than CPython.

by antt 8y ago
PyPy is one of the few projects that are doing good work, communicating their work well and making the right strategic decisions. At his rate I won't be surprised if python4 is just PyPy.

If you want to get picky with words, open source is actually a subset of free software, a rather inconsequential part of it since all GPL licensed software is free software first and foremost. It started as a way to sell Linux to companies

You're being very terse and confrontational. What is your definition of open source? If you go by the definition provided by the Open Source Initiative the following section means the GPL isn't an open license because it requires

Freeware/shareware is also a thing. Publicly available without the source code. WinZip comes to mind.

Not really. There are three main roles in todays software eco-system. The developer, the administrator and the user. Each have interests that are orthogonal to the interests others. The developer wants to get paid to develop the source code

Mayhaps read the article? It covers why this is a very dangerous way of thinking that is destroying the non-corporate open source community. Here's the relevant part: <quote> In the end, license experiments are a threat, but not

by antt 8y ago
Not at all. This license is trying to square the circle of having source code open to individuals who want to tinker with it and at most cover their costs, and those who want to build multi billion dollar empires out of it. Facebook, Google

>I would rather argue that we can in fact do experiments in economics as well. Fair enough. At least you're consistent. My point was that economics should be no less a science than astronomy.

The ether was a part of dynamics. Elements in a star is part of chemistry. The rest of those are not experiments, they are descriptions of natural phenomena we have no power of repeating. Which goes to show that you can have a science that

by antt 8y ago
What controls and experiments can you do in astronomy? The scientific method is a thin veneer best left at in the high school curriculum where it belongs. Actual science is vastly more messy and interesting.

There's a number of things to disentangle in that post. 1). The domain you posted is for sale and appears to be broken or slow. Given it uses aspx and a Microsoft stack that's ten years out of date I'd say it's perfectly

Scientific software has strong dependencies on the specific versions of software used. The debian package needs to play nice with a couple of hundred packages which are not the ones sage is building against upstream. In sage 5.x the source

The languages themselves. To evaluate most simple integrals in mathematica you just put them in and all the corner cases are assumed away for you. For sage and the axiom binding you need to make those assumptions explicit. Pretty much every

By very basic stuff you mean "Doing everything a cas can do". The expenses come when you want to connect it to the internet, because people started using the full linux distro you get as a botnet, and increasing performance.

If you know what you're doing the axiom bindings make it the most powerful cas in terms of symbolic manipulation. Mathematica is optimized for giving you results you need in undergrad classes. Sage is not optimized at all, but can solv

I am genuinely terrified that there are apparently a number of people who share this attitude. Here's hoping none of you are anywhere near the leavers of power because this is far more dangerous than garden variety doomsday delusions l
