The true telos of a mathematics education is gaining a genuine understanding of the principles of mathematics. Pragmatic concerns of the nature you describe should be treated as secondary concerns in an educational environment.

Could this be solved (in large part) if key makers like YubiKey did I.D. verification on purchase? Then, to do the type of "farming" that's mentioned in this article, you'd need to organize a large group of people to all

Sad tale. I went to a competitor of theirs, Holberton School, and also left with a bad taste in my mouth (whole other story). I would recommend others try Lambda, which in retrospect seemed like a better choice. It sounds like the quality h

You need to have more than “no relationship” with him. I have “no relationship” with Epstein, hence I’ve never flown on his plane which is a well known hotbed of teenager-rape. Either Pinker is a liar or the flight logs are fake. I suspect

Pinker claims he barely knew Epstein https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1149153596350578689?s=21 Yet according to flight logs obtained by Gawker, Pinker flew on the “Lolita Express” https://www.reddit.

A state of violent anarchy doesn’t have “less rules” than a nation state. In such a state, there exists a de facto “rule of the jungle” that’s far more restrictive and subject to arbitrary change

Are you liable for illicit content being cached on your server? Like say a user on a server you’re federated with posts child porn, can you be criminally liable if it’s unknowingly downloaded onto the instance you host?

This is amazing. I had precisely this idea ~6mo ago (but never actually built anything). Excited to see you’ve done all the heavy lifting for me. I also love the paid model to align interests and the ability to self host. I will definitely
