I can't speak for HN, but I appreciate them. It's nice to see what other people get out of the articles. Usually the discussions here are more interesting than the article so it also allows me to understand what everyone is talking about wi

Does anyone know much about how this industry works? Is it true that schools receive a kickback from the publisher when they require their textbook for a class? Interesting (scary) note. In 1970 there were over 30 college textbook publisher
