I'm not sure about how true this is in the US, but it's definitely much less true for international students, a group that YC doesn't want to leave out.

That's not a mathematical proof, for example it doesn't show why the theorem holds for all a, b and c, and not just the values used in the demonstration.

I could see it being used for protein folding, but I don't think cryptocurrency mining is an application. By running your app, I'm consuming extra electricity for which I would have to pay. How would you compensate me for that?

In my experience, math.stackexchange likes mathematical rigour and presupposes some mathematical maturity. There are a fair number of professional mathematicians using the site. Sure, if you just want a "for dummies" understanding

It doesn't need to be time- and frequency- based. For example in quantum mechanics you transform from position to momentum space. I think the complaint was that the word "signal" excludes this later case while "functio

Even if there were no political will, the judiciary could enforce the protection, for eg by striking down unconstitutional laws.

But if that hypothetical law were passed by Congress, people sued under that law would argue that the law was unconstitutional, and any competent court would agree, acquit the person, and strike down the law.

I'm not a Mathematica user, but I've always enjoyed browsing the Mathematica Stack Exchange, which might be what you're looking for. For example, here someone asks how to generate random snowflakes, and many interesting solut

You're right, they are. I'm used to seeing 'topology' describe very abstract things like open and compact sets.

The code samples used to demonstrate that library loads a trees.geojson file with features like 'oak' and 'maple', so I think he definitely meant 'topography'. What makes you say it's a topology library?

How do you get asynchronous evaluation without the use of web workers? My understanding is that, without web workers, javascript and the browser share a single thread, and executing javascript freezes the UI.

I've definitely read that particular link and thought hard about how SICP should be written for a live coding environment. I don't think either the original SICP or Bret Victor will be the last word on this matter. In Bret Victor&

Hello everyone, author here. Sorry for forgetting to enable billing on appengine - the page should be displaying now. I shared Interactive SICP with HN last year ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4860370 ), and thought i

I highly recommend the quantum computing MOOC from UC Berkeley. I took it when it was on Coursera but now it's on edx. https://www.edx.org/course/uc-berkeleyx/uc-berkeleyx-cs-191x...

Their sheer size also represents two reasons against their investing significantly in bitcoin: one, any buying or selling on their part will significantly move the price of BTC because the markets are so thin, and two, there are regulations

Yeah the utility would increase, but I think his point was that it wouldn't "explode". I think it's more accurate to say that Amazon accepting BTC would place a minimum value on BTC, assuming Amazon didn't peg the p

It would be math for the sake of showing off only if the authors or referees knew before publishing that the bounds were vacuous. In fact, most mathematicians would probably be embarrassed if that happened to one of their results, and it&#x
